DiSEqC Introduction
Digital Satellite Equipment Control (DiSEqC ) using MC68HC908QT/QY 5
Figure 2. Functional Block Diagram
The MC68HC908QT4 MCU receives the DiSEqC control message, decodes it,
and controls the RF PIN-diode switch.
The DiSEqC switch unit (DSU) controlled by the MC68HC908QT4 MCU allows
both DiSEqC and non-DiSEqC control signals from the satellite receiver to be
used.
The satellite receiver sends the control message to the LNB switch in
accordance to DiSEqC standard level 1.0 (see References). The LNB switch
switches between LNB-A or LNB-B. The supply voltages and the 22-kHz signal
are produced by the IDU (satellite receiver). The capabilities of this control unit
with the MC68HC908QT4 can be expanded to a maximum of four LNBs
(LNB-A, -B, -C, and -D) in accordance with DiSEqC level 1.0 control standard.
DiSEqC Slave
Modes
The DSU (DiSEqC switch unit) works in two main modes, based on the type of
control:
– Non DiSEqC control — voltage/frequency/burst control (VFC)
– DiSEqC control
Non-DiSEqC Control
(VFC Mode)
In VFC mode, the DSU is not sensitive to voltage changes (+13 V or +18 V) or
the presence of the 22-kHz signal.
The signal (voltage and 22-kHz tone) is generated by the satellite receiver to
switch the target LNB between H/V polarizations, and between the low and high
bands received (22 kHz absent/present). The DSU is through-hold for this
signal.
