The LTC4265 is compliant to IEEE Standard 802.3at. It can handle up to 25.5W and recognizes 2-event classification. The LTC4265 includes the PD controller circuitry and power M OSFET integrated into a tiny 3mm×4mm 12pin DFN package. The DC1415A board includes the entire front end of a typical PD; R J45 connector, Ethernet magnetics, bridge rectifiers, surge protection, and PD controller, all in a 1”×2” board. Two status indicator LEDs are also included: one shows the PSE is powering the PD; and the other shows the PSE performed 2event classification. A small load sufficient to as- sure the PSE maintains power to the PD is also included. The LTC4265 features complementary PW R G D and PWRGD outputs to facilitate interface to a wide range of off-the-shelf DC/DC converters. Simply connect the outputs of the DC1415A to the DC/DC converter that’s right for your application. Linear Technology offers many DC/DC converter demo boards that can be used with the DC1415A. To obtain CAD files for the DC1415A demo board,or inquire about DC/DC converter demo boards, contact your local Linear Technology sales person or field applications engineer.

To evaluate the LTC4265 without a load,skip to step 3. b. Use Figure 2 or Figure 3 if the startup delay could be an issue. 2. To evaluating the LTC4265 with a load,choose the connection diagram based on the type of load desired and wire the DC1415A board to the load as shown. c. Use Figure 4 if the load is resistive. a. Use Figure 1 if the DC/DC converter has sufficient built-in startup delay. The LTC4265 limits the current to 100mA during startup;if the DC/DC converter tries to draw more than 100mA during this time then startup willfail. The required delay depends on the input capacitance and U nder-Voltage Lock Out (UVLO ) threshold of the particular converter. 3. Connect the output of the PSE to J1 on the DC1415A board with a CAT5e or CAT6 cable. 4. Verify LED2 is lit,indicating the PSE has successfully detected and powered the PD. LED1 may also be lit if the PSE performed 2-event classification. 1 QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEM ON STRATION CIRCUIT 1 4 1 5A IEEE8 0 2 .3 AT P OW ER-OV ER-ETH ERN ET P OW ERED DEV ICE CON TROL L ER L TC4 2 6 5 DC1415A LED2 DC/DC Converter J1 LED1 VIN Figure 1.

The DC1415A board comes with R 3=30.9Ω for class 4. If a different class signature is desired, simply change R 3 according to Table 1. The LTC4265 limits the current to 100mA during startup. If the DC/DC converter attempts to draw more than 100mA while the LTC4265 is still limiting the current then startup willfail. Table 1. RCLASS Resistor Values.

In a typical PD application a PHY chip would drive these LEDs to indicate the status of the Ethernet link or traffic activity; however, on the DC1415A board the LTC4265 drives the LEDs to indicate PoE status. The PWRGD pin of the LTC4265 drives LED2. LED2 is lit continuously while the PD is powered by the PSE. To disable LED2 remove R 2. The T2PSE pin drives LED1. LED1 willbe lit if the PSE performed 2-event classification, indicating the PSE is Type 2. To disable LED1 remove R 1. M any DC/DC converters include startup delay sufficient to prevent this situation. Such a converter may be connected to the DC1415A board as shown in Figure 1. However, some DC/DC converters have short startup delays. To avoid startup problems it is recommended to use either the PW R G D or PWRGD output to inhibit startup of the DC/DC converter until the LTC4265 finishes limiting the inrush current. U se PW R G D if the DC/DC converter has an activehigh controlinput,as shown in Figure 2. U se PWRGD if the DC/DC converter has an activelow control input, as shown in Figure 3. A 10k resistor limits the current between PWRGD and RU N in the event of a voltage transient at the J1 input.A resistive load may be used to evaluate the thermal properties of the LTC4265; in this case use a series M O SFET to prevent startup problems, as shown in Figure 4. PW R G D holds the M O SFET gate low until the LTC4265 is ready to supply full current. CAU TIO N : The M O SFET may be destroyed if its gate is pulled all the way to VO U T+ by the pull-up resistor. The M O SFET is protected by a 14V clamp inside the LTC4265; however, if the wire to PW R G D were disconnected – or mistakenly connected to PWRGD – then the M O SFET would not be protected. Therefore it is recommended to use a zener diode connected directly across the gate and source pins of the M O SFET as shown in Figure 4. 3 QUICK START GUIDE FOR DEM ON STRATION CIRCUIT 1 4 1 5A IEEE8 0 2 .3 AT P OW ER-OV ER-ETH ERN ET P OW ERED DEV ICE CON TROL L ER L TC4 2 6 5 M inim um LO AD The PSE may discontinue power if the load current is below 10mA. The DC1415A includes a 3k load (R M PS) across its outputs to prevent the PSE from turning off power.
