DiSEqC Introduction
Digital Satellite Equipment Control (DiSEqC ) using MC68HC908QT/QY 7
The high-frequency circuit comprises D1, D2, and C3 (D6, D3, and C3 opposite
channel). Resistor R5 is used to switch the desired PIN-diode pair when the
supply voltage is present on the same LNB port. The opposite PIN-diode pair
is switched off by the reverse voltage. It is very important to design the correct
shape of the high-frequency circuit to match the impedance of the LNB to the
coaxial cable (both are 75 Ω).
The output pin 4 (PTA3) is used to send a message back to the IDU by two-way
communication (in levels higher than level 1.0). It’s possible to use a simple
circuit (transistor Q6 with associated components) to produce a pseudo
square-wave 22-kHz signal. This signal doesn’t comprise the high-frequency
disruptive components because of the value of the resistor R7 and the relatively
high capacitance of the coaxial cable line (about 50 nF to 100 nF). The two-way
communication option is not used in this design example.
The complete DiSEqC slave unit is packaged in a metal case with three
F-terminals, which is standard in satellite devices. The PCB is double-sided
with a bottom ground plane. The top side of the PCB is shown in Figure 4, and
the complete encased DiSEqC slave unit in Figure 5.
