The A8292 has been designed for high efficiency, utilizing the Allegro advanced BCD process. The integrated boost switches have been optimized to minimize both switching and static losses. To further enhance efficiency, the voltage drop across the tracking regulators has been minimized. The A8292 has integrated tone detection capability, to support full two-way DiSEqCTM communications. Several schemes are available for generating tone signals, all the way down to no-load, and using either the internal clock or an external time source.
