The LTC®4263 is an autonomous single-channel PSE
controller for use in IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over
Ethernet systems. It includes an onboard power MOSFET,
internal inrush, current limit, and short-circuit control,
IEEE 802.3af compliant PD detection and classification
circuitry, and selectable AC or DC disconnect sensing.
Onboard control algorithms provide complete IEEE 802.3af
compliant operation without the need of a microcontroller.
The LTC4263 simplifies PSE implementation, needing
only a single 48V supply and a small number of passive
support components.
Programmable onboard power management circuitry
permits multiple LTC4263s to allocate and share power
in multi-port systems, allowing maximum utilization of
the 48V power supply—all without the intervention of a
host processor. The port current limit can be configured
to automatically adjust to the detected PD class. Detection backoff timing is configurable for either Endpoint or
Midspan operation. Built-in foldback and thermal protection
provide comprehensive fault protection.
An LED pin indicates the state of the port controlled by
the LTC4263. When run from a single 48V supply, the LED
pin can operate as a simple switching current source to
reduce power dissipation in the LED drive circuitry.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to VSS unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3: 80mA of current may be pulled from the OUT or ACOUT pin
without damage whether the LTC4263 is powered or not. These pins will
also withstand a positive voltage of VSS + 80V.
Note 4: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 5: The LTC4263 operates with a negative supply voltage. To avoid
confusion, voltages in this data sheet are referred to in terms of absolute
magnitude.
Note 6: If the ENFCLS pin is high, ICUT depends on the result of
classification. If ENFCLS pin is low, ICUT reverts to its Class 0 specification.
Note 7: In order to reduce power dissipated in the switch while charging
the PD, the LTC4263 reduces the current limit when VOUT – VSS is large.
Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics for more information.
Note 8: The LTC4263 includes a high speed current limit circuit intended to
protect against faults. The fault protection is activated for port current
in excess of IFAULT. After the high speed current limit activates, the shortcircuit current limit (ILIM) engages and restricts current to IEEE 802.3af
levels.
Note 9: Class 4 or higher classification current is treated as Class 3.
Note 10: The LTC4263 digital interface operates with respect to VSS. All
logic levels are measured with respect to VSS.
Note 11: The IEEE 802.3af specification allows a PD to present its
Maintain Power Signature (MPS) on an intermittent basis without being
disconnected. In order to stay powered, the PD must present the MPS for
tMPS within any tMPDO time window.

LTC4263
PIN FUNCTIONS
(DFN/SO)
LED (Pin 1): Port State LED Drive. This pin is an open drain
output that pulls down when the port is powered. Under port
fault conditions, the LED will flash in patterns to indicate
the nature of the port fault. See the Applications Information section for a description of these patterns. When the
LTC4263 is operated from a single 48V supply, this pin is
pulsed low with a 6% duty cycle during the periods when
the LED should be on. This allows use of a simple inductor,
diode, and resistor circuit to avoid excess heating due to
the large voltage drop from VDD48. See the Applications
Information section for details on this circuit.
LEGACY (Pin 2): Legacy Detect. This pin controls whether
legacy detect is enabled. If held at VDD5 , legacy detect is
enabled and testing for a large capacitor is performed to
detect the presence of a legacy PD on the port. See the
Applications Information section for descriptions of legacy
PDs that can be detected. If held at VSS , only IEEE 802.3af
compliant PDs are detected. If left floating, the LTC4263
enters force-power-on mode and any PD that generates
between 1V and 10V when biased with 270μA of detection
current will be powered as a legacy device. This mode is
useful if the system uses a differential detection scheme
to detect legacy devices. Warning: Legacy modes are not
IEEE 802.3af compliant.
MIDSPAN (Pin 3): Midspan Enable. If this pin is connected
to VDD5, Midspan backoff is enabled and a 3.2 second
delay occurs after every failed detect cycle unless the
result is open circuit. If held at VSS , no delay occurs after
failed detect cycles.
PWRMGT (Pin 4): Power Management. The LTC4263
sources current at the PWRMGT pin proportional to the
class of the PD that it is powering. The voltage of this pin
is checked before powering the port. The port will not
turn on if this pin is more than 1V above VSS. Connect the
PWRMGT pins of multiple LTC4263s together with a resistor
and capacitor to VSS to implement power management. If
power management is not used, tie this pin to VSS.
VSS (Pins 5, 6): Negative 48V Supply. Pins 5 and 6 should
be tied together on the PCB.
OSC (Pin 7) Oscillator for AC Disconnect. If AC disconnect is used, connect a 0.1μF X7R capacitor from OSC to
VSS. Tie OSC to VSS to disable AC disconnect and enable
DC disconnect.
ACOUT (Pin 8): AC Disconnect Sense. Senses the port
to determine whether a PD is still connected when in AC
disconnect mode. If port capacitance drops below about
0.15μF for longer than TMPDO the port is turned off. If
AC disconnect is used, connect this pin to the port with
a series combination of a 1k resistor and a 0.47μF 100V
X7R capacitor. See the Applications Information section
for more information.
OUT (Pins 9, 10): Port Output. If DC disconnect is used,
these pins are connected to the port. If AC disconnect
is used, these pins are connected to the port through a
parallel combination of a 1A diode and a 500k resistor.
Pins 9 and 10 should be tied together on the PCB. See the
Applications Information section for more information.
VDD48 (Pin 11): 48V Return. Must be bypassed with a
0.1μF capacitor to VSS.
SD (Pin 12): Shutdown. If held low, the LTC4263 is prevented from performing detection or powering the port.
Pulling SD low will turn off the port if it is powered. When
released, a 4-second delay will occur before detection is
attempted.
ENFCLS (Pin 13): Enforce Class Current Limits. If held
at VDD5, the LTC4263 will reduce the ICUT threshold for
class 1 or class 2 PDs. If ENFCLS is held at VSS, ICUT
remains at 375mA (typ) for all classes.
VDD5 (Pin 14): Logic Power Supply. Apply 5V referenced
to VSS, if such a supply is available, or place a 0.1μF
bypass capacitor to VSS to enable the internal regulator.
When the internal regulator is used, this pin should only
be connected to the bypass capacitor and to any logic pins
of the LTC4263 that are being held at VDD5.
Exposed Pad (Pin 15, DE Package Only): VSS . Must be
connected to VSS on the PCB. The Exposed Pad acts as a
heatsink for the internal MOSFET.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
POE OVERVIEW
Over the years, twisted-pair Ethernet has become the most
commonly used method for local area networking. The
IEEE 802.3 group, the originator of the Ethernet standard,
has defined an extension to the standard, IEEE 802.3af,
which allows DC power to be delivered simultaneously
over the same cable used for data communication. This
has enabled a whole new class of Ethernet devices, including IP telephones, wireless access points, and PDA
charging stations which do not require additional AC
wiring or external power transformers, a.k.a. “wall warts.”
With about 13W of power available, small data devices
can be powered by their Ethernet connections, free from
AC wall outlets. Sophisticated detection and power monitoring techniques prevent damage to legacy data-only
devices while still supplying power to newer, Ethernetpowered devices over the twisted-pair cable.
The device that supplies power is called the Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE). A device that draws power from the
wire is called a Powered Device (PD). A PSE is typically an
Ethernet switch, router, hub, or other network switching
equipment that is commonly found in the wiring closets
where cables converge. PDs can take many forms. Digital
IP telephones, wireless network access points, PDA or
notebook computer docking stations, cell phone chargers,

and HVAC thermostats are examples of devices that can
draw power from the network.
A PSE is required to provide a nominal 48V DC between
either the signal pairs or the spare pairs (but not both)
as shown in Figure 1. The power is applied as a voltage
between two of the pairs, typically by powering the center taps of the isolation transformers used to couple the
differential data signals to the wire. Since Ethernet data
is transformer coupled at both ends and is sent differentially, a voltage difference between the transmit pairs and
the receive pairs does not affect the data. A 10Base-T/
100Base-TX Ethernet connection only uses two of the four
pairs in the cable. The unused or spare pairs can optionally be powered directly, as shown in Figure 1, without
affecting the data. 1000Base-T uses all four pairs and
power must be connected to the transformer center taps
if compatibility with 1000Base-T is required.
The LTC4263 provides a complete PSE solution for detection and powering of PD devices in an IEEE 802.3af
compliant system. The LTC4263 controls a single PSE
port that will detect, classify, and provide isolated 48V
power to a PD device connected to the port. The LTC4263
senses removal of a PD with IEEE 802.3af compliant AC
or DC methods and turns off 48V power when the PD is
disconnected. An internal control circuit takes care of
system configuration and timing.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTC4263 OPERATION
The IEEE 802.3af specification defines a specific pair-topair signature resistance used to identify a device that
can accept power via its Ethernet connection. When the
port voltage is below 10V, an IEEE 802.3af compliant
PD will have an input resistance of approximately 25kΩ.
Figure 2 illustrates the relationship between the PD signature resistance and the required resistance ranges the
PSE must accept and reject. According to the IEEE 802.3af
specification, the PSE must accept PDs with signatures
between 19kΩ and 26.5kΩ and may or may not accept
resistances in the two ranges of 15kΩ to 19kΩ and 26.5kΩ
to 33kΩ. The black box in Figure 2 represents the typical
150Ω pair-to-pair termination used in Ethernet devices
like a computer’s network interface card (NIC) that cannot
accept power.

Figure 2. IEEE 802.3af Signature Resistance Ranges
The LTC4263 checks for the signature resistance by forcing
two test currents on the port in sequence and measuring
the resulting voltages. It then subtracts the two V-I points
to determine the resistive slope while removing voltage
offset caused by any series diodes or current offset caused
by leakage at the port (see Figure 3). The LTC4263 will
typically accept any PD resistance between 17kΩ and
29.7kΩ as a valid PD. Values outside this range (excluding open and short-circuits) are reported to the user by a
code flashed via the LED pin.
The LTC4263 uses a force-current detection method in
order to reduce noise sensitivity and provide a more robust
detection algorithm. The first test point is taken by forcing
a test current into the port, waiting a short time to allow

result is stored and the second current is applied to the
port, allowed to settle and the voltage measured.
The LTC4263 will not power the port if the PD has more
than 5μF in parallel with its signature resistor unless legacy
mode is enabled.
The LTC4263 autonomously tests for a valid PD connected
to the port. It repeatedly queries the port every 580ms, or
every 3.2s if midspan backoff mode is active (see below).
If detection is successful, it performs classification and
power management and then powers up the port.
Midspan Backoff
IEEE 802.3af requires the midspan PSE to wait two seconds
after a failed detection before attempting to detect again
unless the port resistance is greater than 500kΩ. This
requirement is to prevent the condition of an endpoint PSE
and a midspan PSE, connected to the same PD at the same
time, from each corrupting the PD signature and preventing
power-on. After the first corrupted detection cycle, the
midspan PSE waits while the endpoint PSE completes
detection and turns the port on. If the midspan mode of
the LTC4263 is enabled by connecting the MIDSPAN pin to
VDD5 , a 3.2 second delay occurs after every failed detect
cycle unless the result is an open circuit.

Classification
An IEEE 802.3af PD has the option of presenting a
classification signature to the PSE to indicate how much
power it will draw when operating. This signature consists
of a specific constant-current draw when the PSE port
voltage is between 15.5V and 20.5V, with the current level

indicating the power class to which the PD belongs. Per
the IEEE 802.3af specification, there are five classes and
three power levels for a PD as shown in Table 1. Note that
class 4 is presently reserved by the IEEE for future use.
Figure 4 shows an example PD load line, starting with the
shallow slope of the 25k signature resistor below 10V, then
drawing the classification current (in this case, class 3)
between 15.5V and 20.5V. Also shown is the load line for
the LTC4263. It maintains a low impedance until reaching

The LTC4263 will classify a port immediately after a

signature current by applying 18V (typ) to the port and
measuring the resulting current. The LTC4263 identifies
the three IEEE power levels and stores the detected class
internally for use by the power management circuitry. In
addition, the LTC4263 allows selectable enforcement of
IEEE classification power levels. With the ENFCLS pin
high, the LTC4263 reduces the ICUT current threshold if it
detects class 1 or class 2, thereby insuring that PDs which
violate their advertised class are shut down.

LTC4263
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power Management
The LTC4263 includes a power management feature
allowing simple implementation of power management
across multiple ports driven by a single power supply. The
PWRMGT pins of all LTC4263 devices are tied together
along with an RC network to prevent over-allocation of
power in a multi-port system.
Immediately following classification, the LTC4263 performs
a power management check to ensure power is available
to supply the newly classed PD. The allocated power is
represented by the voltage on the shared PWRMGT node
and the LTC4263 checks the allocated power by measuring this voltage. If the PWRMGT voltage is less than 1V,
there is power available and the power needs of the new
PD are added to the already allocated power on the node.
To allocate power, a current proportional to the power
needs for the new PD is sourced out of the PWRMGT pin
(Table 2).
For multiple LTC4263s implementing power management,
the PWRMGT pins are connected together and to a RC
network connected to VSS as shown in Figure 5. The value of
RPM represents the full load output capability of the system
power supply (PFULL_LOAD). Select a 1% resistor to set the
full load output power using the following formula:
RPM =
213kΩ • W
PFULL _ LOAD
The LTC4263 power management uses pulse width
modulation to set the power requirements of each PD.
Capacitor CPM is used as a lowpass filter to generate the
average power requirement for all PDs in the system. Set
CPM to 1μF.
If power management is not used, tie PWRMGT to VSS.

When additional current is added to the PWRMGT node,
the voltage rises toward the 1V threshold. After adding
current, the LTC4263 verifies that the power supply is not
over-allocated by verifying the node voltage remains below
1V. If the voltage is below 1V, the LTC4263 proceeds to
power the port. If over 1V, the current is removed from
the node, port powering is aborted, and the LTC4263 goes
back into detection mode.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power Control
The primary function of the LTC4263 is to control the
delivery of power to the PSE port. In order to meet IEEE
802.3af requirements and provide a robust solution, a
variety of current limit and current monitoring functions
are needed, as shown in Figure 6. All control circuitry
is integrated and the LTC4263 requires no external
MOSFET, sense resistor, or microcontroller to achieve
IEEE compliance.
The LTC4263 includes an internal MOSFET for driving
the PSE port. The LTC4263 drives the gate of the internal
MOSFET while monitoring the current and the output voltage at the OUT pin. This circuitry couples the 48V input
supply to the port in a controlled manner that satisfies
the PD’s power needs while minimizing disturbances on
the 48V backplane.
PORT CURRENT
500mA
CURRENT LIMIT
PORT OFF IN tOVLD
400mA
IINRUSH refers to current at port turn-on and ILIM is the
maximum allowable current in the case of a short after the
port is powered. Because the IEEE specification calls out
identical values, the LTC4263 implements both as a single
current limit referred to as ILIM .
When 48V power is applied to the port, the LTC4263 is
designed to power-up the PD in a controlled manner without
causing transients on the input supply. To accomplish this,
the LTC4263 implements inrush current limit. At turn-on,
current limit will allow the port voltage to quickly rise
until the PD reaches its input turn-on threshold. At this
point, the PD begins to draw current to charge its bypass
capacitance, slowing the rate of port voltage increase.
If at any time the port is shorted or an excessive load is
applied, the LTC4263 limits port current to avoid a hazardous condition. The current is limited to ILIM for port
voltages above 30V and is reduced for lower port voltages
(see the Foldback section). Inrush and short-circuit current limit are allowed to be active for 62ms (typ) before
the port is shut off.

Port Overload
A PSE port is permitted to supply up to 15.4W continuously
and up to 400mA (ICUT) for up to 75ms (tOVLD) when in
overload. Per the IEEE 802.3af specification, the PSE is
required to remove power if a port stays in an overload
condition. The LTC4263 monitors port current and removes
port power if port current exceeds 375mA (typ) for greater
than 62ms (typ).
Port Inrush and Short-Circuit
The IEEE 802.3af standard lists two separate maximum
current limits, IINRUSH and ILIM, that a PSE must implement.
If the port is suddenly shorted, the internal MOSFET power
dissipation can rise to very high levels until the short-circuit
current limit circuit can respond. A separate high speed
current limit circuit detects severe fault conditions (IOUT >
650mA (typ)) and quickly turns off the internal MOSFET if
such an event occurs. The circuit then limits current to ILIM
while the tOVLD timer increments. During a short-circuit,
ILIM will be reduced by the foldback circuitry.
tOVLD Timing
For overload, inrush, and short-circuit conditions, the
IEEE 802.3af standard limits the duration of these events
to 50ms-75ms. The LTC4263 includes a 62ms (typ) tOVLD
timer to monitor overload conditions. The timer is incremented whenever current greater than ICUT flows through
the port. If the current is still above ICUT when the tOVLD
timer expires, the LTC4263 will turn off power to the port
and flash the LED. In this situation, the LTC4263 waits
four seconds and then restarts detection. If the overload

condition is removed before the t OVLD timer expires, the
port stays powered and the timer is reset.
power and shuts down all functions including the internal
5V regulator. Once the die cools, the LTC4263 waits four
seconds, then restarts detection.
Foldback
Foldback is designed to limit power dissipation in the
LTC4263 during power-up and momentary short-circuit
conditions. At low port output voltages, the voltage
across the internal MOSFET is high, and power dissipation will be large if significant current is flowing. Foldback
monitors the port output voltage and reduces the ILIM
current limit level for port voltages of less than 28V, as
shown in Figure 7.
200
The DC disconnect circuit monitors port current whenever
power is on to detect continued presence of the PD. IEEE
802.3af mandates a minimum current of 10mA that the
PD must draw for periods of at least 75ms with optional
dropouts of no more than 250ms. The tMPDO disconnect
timer increments whenever port current is below 7.5mA
(typ). If the timer expires, the port is turned off and the
LTC4263 waits 1.5 seconds before restarting detection. If
the undercurrent condition goes away before tMPDO (350ms
(typ)), the timer is reset to zero. The DC disconnect circuit
includes a glitch filter to prevent noise from falsely resetting
the timer. The current must be present for a period of at
least 20ms to guarantee reset of the timer. To enable DC
disconnect, tie the OSC pin to VSS .

Thermal Protection
The LTC4263 includes thermal overload protection in
order to provide full device functionality in a miniature
package while maintaining safe operating temperatures.
Several factors create the possibility for very large power
dissipation within the LTC4263. At port turn-on, while
ILIM is active, the instantaneous power dissipated by the
LTC4263 can be as high as 12W. This can cause 40ºC or
more of die heating in a single turn-on sequence. Similarly,
excessive heating can occur if an attached PD repeatedly
pushes the LTC4263 into ILIM by drawing too much current. Excessive heating can also occur if the VDD5 pin is
shorted or overloaded.
The LTC4263 protects itself from thermal damage by
monitoring die temperature. If the die temperature exceeds
the overtemperature trip point, the LTC4263 removes port
AC disconnect is an alternate method of sensing the presence or absence of a PD by monitoring the port impedance.
The LTC4263 forces an AC signal from an internal sine wave
generator on to the port. The ACOUT pin current is then
sampled once per cycle and compared to IACDMIN . Like DC
disconnect, the AC disconnect sensing circuitry controls the
tMPDO disconnect timer. When the connection impedance
rises due to the removal of the PD, AC peak current falls
below IACDMIN and the disconnect timer increments. If the
impedance remains high (AC peak current remains below
IACDMIN), the disconnect timer counts to tMPDO and the
port is turned off. If the impedance falls, causing AC peak
current to rise above IACDMIN for two consecutive samples
before the maximum count of the disconnect timer, the
timer resets and the port remains powered.
The AC disconnect circuitry senses the port via the ACOUT
pin. Connect a 0.47μF 100V X7R capacitor (CDET) and
a 1kΩ resistor (RDET) from the DETECT pin to the port
output as shown in Figure 8. This provides an AC path for
sensing the port impedance. The 1kΩ resistor, RDET, limits
current flowing through this path during port power-on and
power-off. An AC blocking diode (DAC) is inserted between
the OUT pin and the port to prevent the AC signal from

The 500k resistor across DAC allows the port voltage to

Sizing of capacitors is critical to ensure proper function
of AC disconnect. CPSE (Figure 8) controls the connection
impedance on the PSE side. Its capacitance must be kept
low enough for AC disconnect to be able to sense the PD.
On the other hand, CDET has to be large enough to pass
the signal at 110Hz. The recommended values are 0.1μF
for CPSE and 0.47μF for CDET. The sizes of CPSE, CDET,
and RDET are chosen to create an economical, physically
compact and functionally robust system. Moreover, the
complete Power over Ethernet AC disconnect system (PSE,
transformers, cabling, PD, etc.) is complex; deviating from
the recommended values of CDET, RDET and CPSE is strongly
discouraged. Contact the Linear Technology Applications
department for additional support.
Internal 110Hz AC Oscillator
The LTC4263 includes onboard circuitry to generate a
110Hz (typ), 2VP-P sine wave on its OSC pin when a
0.1μF capacitor is connected between the OSC pin and
VSS. This sine wave is synchronized to the controller
inside the LTC4263 and should not be externally driven.
Tying the OSC pin to VSS shuts down the oscillator and
enables DC disconnect.
Power-On Reset and Reset/Backoff Timing
Upon start-up, the LTC4263 waits four seconds before
starting its first detection cycle. Depending on the results of this detection it will either power the port, repeat
detection, or wait 3.2 seconds before attempting detection
again if in midspan mode.
The LTC4263 may be reset by pulling the SD pin low. The
port is turned off immediately and the LTC4263 sits idle.
After SD is released there will be a 4-second delay before
the next detection cycle begins.
VDD5 Logic-Level Supply
The VDD5 supply for the LTC4263 can either be supplied
externally or generated internally from the VDD48 supply.
If supplied externally, a voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V
should be applied to the VDD5 pin to cause the internal
regulator to shut down. If VDD5 is to be generated internally, the voltage will be 4.4V (typ) and a 0.1μF capacitor
should be connected between VDD5 and VSS. Do not
connect the internally generated VDD5 to anything other
than a bypass capacitor and the logic control pins of the
same LTC4263.
LED Flash Codes
The LTC4263 includes a multi-function LED driver to inform
the user of the port status. The LED is turned on when the
port is connected to a PD and power is applied. If the port
is not connected or is connected to a non-powered device
with a 150Ω or shorted termination, the port will not be
powered and the LED will be off. For other port conditions,
the LTC4263 blinks a code to communicate the status
to the user as shown in Table 3. One flash indicates low
signature resistance, two flashes indicates high resistance,
five flashes indicates an overload fault, and nine flashes
indicates that power management is preventing the port
from turning on.
4263fe
16
LTC4263
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When active, the LED flash codes are repeated every 1.2
seconds. The duration of each LED flash is 75ms. Multiple
LED flashes occur at a 300ms interval.
The LTC4263 includes a feature for efficiently driving the
LED from a 48V power supply without the wasted power
caused by having to drop over 45V in a current limit
resistor. When operating the VDD5 supply internally, the
LTC4263 drives the LED pin with a 6% duty cycle PWM
signal. This allows use of the simple LED drive circuit in
Figure 9 to minimize power dissipation. The modulation
frequency of the LED drive is 28kHz, making the on period
2.2μs. During the 2.2μs that the LED pin is pulled low, current ramps up in the inductor, limited by RLED. Diode D2
completes the circuit by allowing current to circulate while
the LED pin is open circuit. Since current is only drawn
from the power supply 6% of the time, power dissipation
is substantially reduced.
When VDD5 is powered from an external supply, the PWM
signal is disabled and the LED pin will pull down continuously when on. In this mode, the LED can be powered from
the 5V supply with a simple series resistor.

the LTC4263 in a PSE does not in itself guarantee IEEE
802.3af compliance. To ensure a compliant PSE design,
it is recommended to adhere closely to the example application circuits provided. For further assistance contact

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Common Mode Chokes
Both non-powered and powered Ethernet connections
achieve best performance for data transfer and EMI
when a common mode choke is used on each port. For
cost reduction reasons, some designs share a common
mode choke between two adjacent ports. This is not
recommended. Sharing a common mode choke between
two ports couples start-up, disconnect and fault transients
from one port to the other. The end result can range
from momentary noncompliance with IEEE 802.3af to
intermittent behavior and even to excessive voltages that
may damage circuitry in both the PSE and PD connected
to the port.
Transient Suppressor Diode
IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet is a challenging Hot
Swap™ application because it must survive unintentional
abuse by repeated plugging in and out of devices at the
port. Ethernet cables could potentially be cut or shorted
together. Consequently, the PSE must be designed to
handle these events without damage.
The most severe of these events is a sudden short on
a powered port. What the PSE sees depends on how
much CAT-5 cable is between it and the short. If the short
occurs on the far end of a long cable, the cable inductance
will prevent the current in the cable from increasing too
quickly and the LTC4263 built-in short-circuit protection
will control the current and turn off the port. However,
the high current along with the cable inductance causes
a large flyback voltage to appear across the port when the
MOSFET is turned off. In the case of a short occurring
with a minimum length cable, the instantaneous current
can be extremely high due to the lower inductance. The
LTC4263 has a high speed fault current limit circuit that
shuts down the port in 20μs (typ). In this case, there is
lower inductance but higher current so the event is still
severe. A transient suppressor is required to clamp the port
voltage and prevent damage to the LTC4263. An SMAJ58A
or equivalent device works well to maintain port voltages
within a safe range. A bidirectional transient suppressor
should not be used. Good board layout places the transient
suppressor between the port and the LTC4263 to enhance
the protective function.
If the port voltage reverses polarity and goes positive,
the OUT pin can be overstressed because this voltage is
stacked on top of the 48V supply. In this case, the transient
suppressor must clamp the voltage to a small positive value
to protect the LTC4263 and the PSE capacitor.
Component leakages across the port can have an adverse
affect on AC disconnect and even affect DC disconnect
if the leakage becomes severe. The SMAJ58A is rated
at less than 5μA leakage at 58V and works well in this
application. There is a potential for stress induced leakage,
so sufficient margins should be used when selecting
transient suppressors for these applications.
Capacitors
Sizing of both the CDET and CPSE capacitors is critical for
proper operation of the LTC4263 AC disconnect sensing.
See the AC Disconnect section for more information. Note
that many ceramic capacitors have dramatic DC voltage
and temperature coefficients. Use 100V or higher rated
X7R capacitors for CDET and CPSE , as these have reduced
voltage dependence while also being relatively small and
inexpensive. Bypass the 48V supply with a 0.1μF, 100V
capacitor located close to the LTC4263. The VDD5 supply
also requires a 0.1μF bypass capacitor.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Fuse
While the LTC4263 does not require a fuse for proper
operation or for compliance with IEEE 802.3af, some
safety requirements state that the output current must be
limited to less than 2A in less than 60 seconds if any one
component fails or is shorted. Since the LTC4263 is the
primary current limiter, its failure could result in excess
current to the port. To meet these safety requirements, a
fuse can be placed in the positive leg of the port. The fuse
must be large enough that it will pass at least 450mA when
derated for high temperature but small enough that it will
fuse at less than 2A at cold temperature. This requirement
can usually be satisfied with a 1A fuse or PTC. Placing the
fuse between the RJ-45 connector and the LTC4263 and
its associated circuitry provides additional protection for
this circuitry. Consult a safety requirements expert for the
application specific requirements.
Power Supply
Poor regulation on the 48V supply can lead to
noncompliance. The IEEE specification requires a PSE
output voltage between 44V and 57V. When the LTC4263
begins powering an Ethernet port, it controls the current
through the port to minimize disturbances on VSS. However,
if the VSS supply is underdamped or otherwise unstable,
its voltage could go outside of the IEEE-specified limits,
causing the PSE to be noncompliant. This scenario can be
even worse when a PD is unplugged because the current
can drop immediately to zero. In both cases the port voltage
must always stay between 44V and 57V. Beyond this, the
IEEE 802.3af specification places specific ripple, noise and
load regulation requirements on the PSE. Disturbances
on VSS can also adversely affect detection, classification
and AC disconnect sensing. For these reasons, proper
bypassing and stability of the VSS supply is important.
Another problem that can affect the VSS supply is
insufficient power, leading to the supply voltage dropping
out of the specified range. The 802.3af specification states
that if a PSE powers a PD it must be able to provide the
maximum power level requested by the PD based on
the PD’s classification. The specification does allow a
PSE to choose not to power a port, typically because the
PD requires more power than the PSE has available to
deliver. If a PSE is built with a VSS supply not capable of
delivering full power to all ports, it is recommended to
use the LTC4263 power management feature to prevent
ports from being turned on when there is insufficient
power. Because the specification also requires the PSE
to supply an inrush current of 400mA at up to a 5% duty
cycle, the VSS supply capability should be at least a few
percent higher than the maximum total power the PSE
needs to supply to the PDs.
Isolation
The IEEE 802.3af standard requires Ethernet ports to be
electrically isolated from all other conductors that are
user accessible. This includes the metal chassis, other
connectors, and the AC power line. Environment A isolation
is the most common and applies to wiring within a single
building serviced by a single AC power system. For this
type of application, the PSE isolation requirement can be
met with the use of a single, isolated 48V supply powering
several LTC4263 ports. Environment B, the stricter isolation
requirement, is for networks that cross an AC power
distribution boundary. In this case, electrical isolation
must be maintained between each port in the PSE. The
LTC4263 can be used to build a multi-port Environment B
PSE by powering each LTC4263 from a separate, isolated
48V supply. In all PSE applications, there should be no
user accessible connections to the LTC4263 other than
the RJ-45 port.
