APPLICATION NOTE
INTRODUCTION
nominal to the LAN cables while the PDs are small DC−DC
converters at the load end of the cables which transform the
48 V to logic levels such as 5.0 Vdc or 3.3 Vdc or both, to
power the communications equipment. The PDs should be
able to operate with a maximum average input power of
12.95 W, and should be able to tolerate an input voltage
range of 36 to 57 Vdc. In addition, a certain “protocol” is
required in which the PD is detected (Signature Mode) and
then classified (Classification Mode) according to its
maximum power level.
Signature Detection: The upstream PSE equipment detects
the PD by injecting two different voltages between 2.8 and
10 Vdc into the PD input terminals. If the detected impedance
of the PD as measured by the V/I slope is above 23.7 KW, and
below 26.25 KW, the PD is considered present. If the
impedance is less than 15 K, or greater than 33 K, the PD is
considered not present, and no further voltage will be applied.
Classification Mode: To classify the PD according to its
intended power level, the PSE will again source a voltage
between 14.5 and 20.5 Vdc to the PD. The classification is
determined by the current drawn by the PD upon application
of this voltage, and is summarized in the following table:
A solution to one aspect of Power Over Ethernet (POE) is
presented here utilizing the ON Semiconductor NCP1031
series of monolithic, high voltage switching regulators with
internal MOSFET. The application note provides details for
constructing an inexpensive, high efficiency, 5.0 V DC
power supply with a power output of 5.0 to 6.5 W, (output
power is conversion mode dependent — see DC to DC
Converter Operation description below). The associated
input circuitry for responding to POE detection and
classification protocol is also included. ON Semiconductor
also can provide a demonstration PC board with this
circuitry upon request.
POE Background
As a result of IEEE Standard 802.3AF, it is now possible
to inject DC power through Ethernet data transmission lines
to power Ethernet communication devices as long as the end
power requirement is less than 13 W. The parametric details
of DC power transmission and the associated terminology is
outlined in this IEEE document. POE consists of two power
entities: Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and Powered
Devices (PDs). The PSEs typically provides 48 Vdc

Additional Input Features
In addition to the signature and classification circuitry, the
PD must also include circuitry to limit the inrush current
from the PSE to 400 mA when the input voltage is applied,
and to prevent any quiescent currents or impedances caused
by the DC−to−DC converter to be ignored during the
signature and classification processes.
will allow up to 6.5 W (1.3 A) output. The input utilizes a
differential mode pi filter comprised of C3, L1 and C4.
Control chip startup is accomplished when the undervoltage
terminal at pin 6 exceeds 2.5 V. The resistor divider network
of R7, R8, and R9 sets the chip’s under and overvoltage
levels to 35 and 80 V, respectively. Internal startup bias is
provided thru pin 8, which drives a constant current source
that charges Vcc capacitor C7. Once U2 has started, the
auxiliary winding on transformer T1 (pins 2, 3) provides the
operating bias via diode D4 and resistor R11.
Voltage spikes caused by the leakage inductance of T1 are
clamped by the network of C5, D6 and R10. The actual
power rating on R10 will be a function of the
primary−to−secondary leakage inductance of T1, and the
lower the better. Capacitor C6 sets the switching frequency
of the converter to approximately 220 kHz.
Because of the required secondary isolation, a TL431
(U4) is implemented as an error amplifier along with
optocoupler U3 to create the voltage sensing and feedback
circuitry. The internal error amplifier in U2 has been
disabled by grounding pin 3, the voltage sense pin, and the
amplifier’s output compensation node on pin 4 is utilized to
control the pulse width via the optocoupler’s photo
transistor. The output voltage sense is divided down to the
2.5 V reference level of the TL431 by R16 and R17, and
closed loop bandwidth and phase margins are set by C9 and
R15 for DCM operation. Additional components C14, C15
and R12 are required for feedback loop stabilization if
configured for CCM flyback operation. C8 on the primary
side provides noise decoupling and additional high
frequency roll off for U2. This implementation provides
output regulation better than 0.5% for both line and load
changes, and a closed loop phase margin of better than 50°.
Output rectifier D5 is a three amp Schottky device for
enhanced efficiency, and the output voltage is filtered by the
pi network comprised of C11, L2 and C12. Typical
peak−to−peak noise and ripple on the output are below
100 mV under all normal load and line conditions. C13
provides for additional high frequency noise attenuation.
Typical input to output efficiency is in the area of 75% at
full load. Higher efficiencies can be achieved by replacing
D5 with a MOSFET based synchronous rectifier circuit
(see ON Semiconductor application note, AND8127, for
implementing a simple synchronous rectifier circuit to a
flyback topology).
Overcurrent protection is provided by the internal peak
current limit circuit in the NCP1031. The circuit can provide
a continuous output current of 1.3 A at 25°C with surge
up to 1.5 A when configured as a CCM flyback before
overcurrent and/or overtemperature limiting ensues. When
configured for the discontinuous mode, the current is limited
to about 1.0 A with a 1.2 A peak.
Signature/Classification Circuit Details
Referring to the schematic of Figure 2, the input signature
and classification circuitry is designed around a few discrete
and inexpensive ON Semiconductor parts that include the
TL431 programmable reference, a 2N7002 signal level
MOSFET, a 2N5550 NPN transistor, an NTD12N10
MOSFET and several Zener diodes and a few resistors and
capacitors. For signature detection, a 24.9 K resistor (R1) is
placed directly across the input. Note that during signature
detection, the input voltage is below 10 V and the constant
current source formed by U1, Q2 and R4 is off because of the
9.1 V Zener that must be overcome to bias this circuit. Note
also that MOSFET Q3, which functions as a series input
switch in the return leg of the DC−DC converter, will be off
until the input voltage exceeds approximately 27 V. This
voltage is the sum of D2’s Zener voltage and the gate
threshold of Q3.
As the voltage is ramped up to the classification level, D1
conducts above approximately 9.8 V and the current source
formed by U1, Q2 and resistor R4 turns on and the current
is precisely limited by the reference voltage of U1 (2.5 V)
and the classification resistor R4.
Once classification is verified the input can now ramp up
to the nominal 48 V. Once this voltage exceeds the sum of
Q3’s gate threshold and D2’s Zener voltage, Q3 will start to
turn on. It will not turn on abruptly, however, but will operate
in its linear region momentarily due to the RC time constant
created by R6 and C2. The momentary operation in the
linear region allows for inrush current limiting because Q3
will act like a resistor during this period. D3 clamps the
voltage on Q3’s gate to 15 V, while R5 provides a discharge
path for C2 when the input from the PSE is off. MOSFET Q1
will also turn on at the same voltage level as Q3, and this will
switch off the U1/Q2 current source so as to reduce
additional current drain from the input.
DC to DC Converter Operation
The DC−to−DC converter is designed around
ON Semiconductor’s monolithic NCP1031 switching
regulator IC (U2). For a 5.0 W maximum output, the
converter is configured as a discontinuous mode (DCM)
flyback topology with the conventional TL431 and
optocoupler voltage feedback scheme. Modifications to the

Magnetics Design
The discontinuous mode flyback transformer design is
detailed in Figure 3 and the continuous mode transformer is
shown in Figure 4. In the design of flyback transformers, it
is essential to keep the windings in single layers and evenly
spread over the window length of the core structure to keep
leakage inductance minimized. In this application, this was
easily achieved, with a small EF16 ferrite core from
Ferroxcube.

Discontinuous Versus Continuous Mode
Operation
In discontinuous mode flyback operation, the inductor
current falls to zero before the MOSFET switch is turned on
again. This mode of operation causes the output to have a
first order filter network characteristic and, as a
consequence, feedback loop stabilization is simple and wide
bandwidth for good output transient response can be
achieved. This operational mode, unfortunately results in
higher peak switch currents and limits the power output of
this circuit due to the internal current limit set point and the
thermal protection circuits in the NCP1031. With
continuous current mode operation, where the MOSFET can
turn back on before the inductor current is zero, the peak
switch current is less, so higher power outputs can be
achieved without overcurrent protection intervention. There
is a cost, however, to this latter mode of operation in that the
control loop bandwidth must be made lower with a resulting
poorer transient response to load and line variation. CCM
operation introduces a right half−plane zero to the power
topology response characteristic which may need to be
compensated for with the additional feedback components
shown in Figure 2, if proper feedback stability is to be
achieved. CCM may also generate more EMI due to the fact
that the output rectifier must now be force commutated off.
