DESCRIPTION
The 8-pin integrated circuit contains all of the features needed to develop a high power IEEE 802.3af style
powered device (PD). The TPS2376-H offers a higher current limit and increased thermal dissipation capability
over the TPS237X family of devices. The TPS2376-H implements a fully compliant PoE interface while
permitting non-standard implementations that draw more power. A 26 W PD may be constructed when working
from a 52 V minimum PSE over 100 m of CAT-5 cable. The TPS2376-H features a 100 V rating, 600 mA
capability, adjustable inrush limiting, fault protection with auto-retry, and true open-drain power-good
functionality.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

PIN NAME
Detailed Pin Description
The following descriptions refer to the schematic of Figure 1 and the functional block diagram.
ILIM: A resistor from this pin to VSS sets the inrush current limit per Equation 1:
I(LIM) = 40000
R(ILIM)
(1)
where ILIM is the desired inrush current value, in Amperes, and R(ILIM) is the value of the programming resistor
from ILIM to VSS, in ohms. The practical limits on R(ILIM) are 125 kΩ to 1 MΩ. A value of 287 kΩ is
recommended for compatibility with legacy power sourcing equipment (PSE).
Inrush current limiting prevents current drawn by the bulk capacitor from causing the line voltage to sag below
the lower UVLO threshold. Adjustable inrush current limiting allows the use of arbitrarily large capacitors and
also accommodates legacy systems that require low inrush currents.
The ILIM pin must not be left open or shorted to VSS.
CLASS: Classification is implemented by means of an external resistor, R(CLASS), connected between CLASS
and VSS. The controller draws current from the input line through R(CLASS) when the input voltage lies between
13 V and 21 V. The classification currents specified in the electrical characteristics table include the bias current
flowing into VDD and any RTN leakage current.
A high power system will not meet the standard power CLASS ranges defined in IEEE 802.3af, which are shown
for reference in Table 1. An end-to-end high power system may either redefine the CLASS power, or dispense
with CLASS entirely.
The CLASS pin must not be shorted to ground.

Reserved for future use
DET: R(DET) should be connected between VDD and the DET pin when it is used. R(DET) is connected across the
input line when V(VDD) lies between 1.4 V and 11.3 V, and is disconnected when the line voltage exceeds this
range to conserve power.
The parallel combination of R(DET) and the UVLO program resistors must equal 24.9 kΩ, ±1%. Minimizing R(DET),
and maximizing the UVLO program resistors, improves efficiency during normal operation. Conversely, R(DET)
may be eliminated with the UVLO divider providing the 24.9 kΩ signature to reduce component count.
VSS: This is the input supply negative rail that serves as a local ground. The PowerPad must be connected to
this pin.
RTN: This pin provides the switched negative power rail used by the downstream circuits. The operational and
inrush current limit control current into the pin. The PG circuit monitors the RTN voltage and also uses it as the
return for the PG pin pulldown transistor. The internal MOSFET body diode clamps VSS to RTN when voltage is
present between VDD and RTN and the Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) input is not present.
PG: This pin goes to a high resistance state when the internal MOSFET that feeds the RTN pin is enabled, and
the device is not in inrush current limiting. In all other states except detection, the PG output is pulled to RTN by
the internal open-drain transistor. Performance is ensured with at least 4 V between VDD and RTN.
PG is an open-drain output, which may require a pullup resistor or other interface to the dc/dc converter. PG
may be left open if not used.
UVLO: The UVLO pin is used with an external resistor divider between VDD and VSS to set the upper and
lower UVLO thresholds. The TPS2376-H enables the output when V(UVLO) exceeds the upper UVLO threshold,
and turns it off when the input falls below the lower threshold.
The UVLO divider resistance may be used alone to provide the 24.9 kΩ detection signature, or be used in
conjunction with R(DET). Eliminating R(DET) reduces the component count at the cost of lower operating efficiency.
Figure 1 demonstrates the elimination of R(DET).
VDD: This is the positive input supply that is also common to downstream load circuits. This pin provides
operating power and allows the controller to monitor the line voltage to determine the mode of operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The IEEE 802.3af specification defines a process for safely providing power over an ethernet cable when a
capable device is connected, and then removing power if it is disconnected. The process proceeds through
three operational states: detection, classification, and operation. An unterminated cable is not powered. The
PSE periodically probes the cable with low voltage, looking for a 25 kΩ signature; this is referred to as detection.
The low power levels used during detection are unlikely to cause damage to devices not designed for PoE. If a
valid powered device (PD) signature is present during detection, then the PSE may optionally inquire about the
amount of power the PD requires; this is referred to as classification. The PD may return a default full-power
signature, or one of four other defined choices. In a high-power system, class may not be required, or the levels
may be redefined to suit that particular system. The PSE may use the class power to determine if it has
adequate power to operate this device, and later to determine if a device is using more power than it requested.
At this point in the process, the PSE may choose to power the PD. The PSE output is protected against shorts
and overloads when the PD is powered. The maintain power signature (MPS) is presented by the powered PD
to assure the PSE that it is present. The MPS is either a minimum dc current, a maximum ac impedance, or
both. When the MPS disappears, the PSE removes power and returns to its initial state. Figure 12 shows the
operational states as a function of PD input voltage range as defined in IEEE 802.3af.
The PD input is typically an RJ-45 (8-pin) connector, referred to as the power interface (PI). PD input
requirements differ from PSE output requirements to account for voltage drops in the cable. The IEEE 802.3af
specification uses a cable resistance of 20 Ω to derive the voltage limits at the PD from the PSE output
requirements. While the 20 Ω specification covers telecom type wiring, CAT-5 infrastructure will meet a 12.5 Ω
limit. Specifying the high-power system to operate over CAT-5 cable allows significantly more power to be
delivered.
A high-power nonstandard system need not support all combinations of voltage delivery polarities and pair sets.
The IEEE 802.3af PSE allows voltage of either polarity between the RX and TX pairs, or between the two spare
pairs. An input diode or bridge is recommended to provide reverse input polarity protection. The bridge
maintains compatibility with auto-MDIX systems that have reverse RX-TX pair assignments. The voltage drops
associated with the input diode(s) cause a difference between the limits at the PI and the TPS2376-H
specifications.
Two-pair power delivery is the simplest to implement, and is preferred if adequate power can be achieved.
Application report SLVA225 presents a number of considerations for a high power PoE end-to-end system.
Power delivery on all four pairs is significantly more complex, and is only recommended when two pair systems
do not suffice. Considerations for high power systems are presented in Application Report SLVA225.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
INTERNAL THRESHOLDS
Operational Mode
In order to implement the defined PoE functions shown in Figure 12, the TPS2376-H has a number of internal
comparators with hysteresis for stable switching between the various states. Figure 13 relates the parameters in
the Electrical Characteristics section to the PoE states. The mode labeled idle between classification and PD
powered implies that the DET, CLASS, PG, and RTN pins are all high impedance.

DETECTION
The 25 kΩ PD signature is measured by applying two voltages between 2.7 V to 10.1 V, that are at least 1 V
apart, to the PD's PI and measuring the current. The resistance is calculated as a ∆V/∆I, with an acceptable
range of 23.75 kΩ to 26.25 kΩ.
The TPS2376-H is in detection mode whenever the supply voltage is below the lower classification threshold.
The TPS2376-H draws a minimum of bias power in this condition, while PG and RTN are high impedance and
the circuits associated with ILIM and CLASS are disabled. The DET pin is pulled to VSS during detection.
Current flowing through R(DET) to VSS (Figure 1) produces the detection signature.
CLASSIFICATION
The classification process applies a voltage between 14.5 V and 20.5 V, for a maximum of 75 ms, to the input of
the PD, which in turn draws a fixed current set by R(CLASS). An 802.3af PSE measures the PD current to
determine which of the five available classes (Table 1) that the PD is signaling. The total current drawn from the
PSE during classification is the sum of bias currents and current through R(CLASS). The TPS2376-H disconnects
R(CLASS) at voltages above the classification range to avoid excessive power dissipation (Figure 12 and
Figure 13).
A high power end-to-end system may choose to not implement classification, or redefine the power associated
with each class. Low-voltage systems, for example 24 V, may not be able to use CLASS because the
operational voltage may lie within the classification voltage range. This would cause the TPS2376-H
classification circuits to dissipate power continuously.
The power rating of the class resistor should be chosen so that it is not overstressed for the required 75-ms
classification period, during which 10 V is applied. A higher wattage resistor might be required to withstand
testing over longer time periods.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The TPS2376-H incorporates an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that monitors line voltage to determine
when to apply power to the downstream load and allow the PD to power up. The IEEE 802.3af specification
dictates a maximum PD turn on voltage of 42 V and a minimum turn-off voltage of 30 V (Figure 13). The UVLO
pin provides the flexibility to adjust the turn on and turn off to the IEEE 802.3af limits, or a custom set. Design
the turn-on for 39.5 V if a design which uses the IEEE 802.3af limits is desired.

SLVS646A – SEPTEMBER 2006 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2006
APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
PROGRAMMABLE INRUSH CURRENT LIMIT AND FIXED OPERATIONAL CURRENT LIMIT
Inrush limiting has several benefits. First, it maintains the cable voltage above the UVLO turn-off threshold as
the bulk capacitor charges. Second, it keeps the PSE from going into current limit. This reduces stress on the
PSE and allows an arbitrarily large bulk capacitor to be charged. Third, the inrush limit is used as the foldback
current during a hard overload.
The TPS2376-H operational current limit protects the internal power switch from sudden output faults and
current surges. The minimum operational current limit level of 625 mA lies above the minimum TPS23841 output
current limit of 600 mA. This current limit enables the PD to draw the maximum available power.
The TPS2376-H incorporates a state machine that controls the inrush and operational current limit states. When
V(VDD) is below the lower UVLO threshold, the current limit state machine is reset. In this condition, the RTN pin
is high impedance, and floats to V(VDD) once the output capacitor is discharged. When V(VDD) rises above the
UVLO turn on threshold, the TPS2376-H enables the internal power MOSFET with the current limit set to the
inrush value programmed by R(ILIM). The load capacitor charges and the RTN pin voltage falls from V(VDD) to
nearly V(VSS). Once the inrush current falls about 10% below the programmed limit for 150-µs, the current limit
switches to the 765-mA operational level and PG goes open-drain. The internal power MOSFET is disabled if
the input voltage drops below the lower UVLO threshold and the state machine is reset.
An output overload, or increasing input voltage step, may cause the operational current limit to become active.
The MOSFET voltage will then start to rise, causing high power dissipation. Current-limit foldback controls this
MOSFET power dissipation to a manageable level. Foldback is achieved by switching the current limit state
machine from the operational level to inrush when the MOSFET voltage exceeds 10 V for 150-µs. An additional
layer of protection is provided by thermal shutdown if the overload persists long enough.
Practical values of R(ILIM) lie between 125 kΩ and 1 MΩ; however, selecting lower inrush current values reduces
peak stresses under output-short circuit conditions. An inrush level of 140 mA, set by an R(ILIM) of 287 kΩ, is
recommended for most applications.
THERMAL PROTECTION
The TPS2376-H may overheat if the ambient temperature becomes excessive, or if it operates for an extended
period of time in classification or current limit. The TPS2376-H protects itself by disabling the RTN and CLASS
pins and pulling PG low when the internal die temperature reaches about 140°C. It automatically restarts when
the die temperature has fallen approximately 20°C. If V(RTN-VSS) is less than 10 V when the TPS2376-H restarts,
the current limit remains at 765 mA and PG goes open-drain. If the overload has caused V(RTN-VSS) to exceed 10
V while disabled, the current limit is set to the inrush level and PG remains low. This process is referred to as
thermal cycling. Thermal protection is active whenever the TPS2376-H is not in detection.
Short periods of thermal cycling do not significantly impact the reliability or life expectancy, but prolonged
periods may. Other components in the power path can be overstressed if this condition exists for a prolonged
time as well.
MAINTAIN POWER SIGNATURE
Once a valid PD has been detected and powered, the PSE uses the maintain power signature (MPS) to
determine when to remove power from the PI. The PSE removes power from that output port if it detects loss of
MPS for 300 ms or more. A valid MPS requires that the PD to draw at least 10 mA and have an ac impedance
less than 26.25 kΩ in parallel with 0.05 µF.
POWER GOOD
The TPS2376-H includes a power-good (PG) output for use as a dc/dc converter enable once the load capacitor
is fully charged. The PG pin is the safest way to ensure that there are no undesired interactions between the
inrush limit, the converter startup characteristic, and the size of the bulk capacitor.
The PG output is pulled to RTN whenever the MOSFET is disabled, is in inrush current limiting, or the V(RTN)
rises above 10 V. The PG pin goes to an open-drain state approximately 150 µs after the inrush current falls
10% below the regulated value. PG pull down current is only specified for V(VDD-RTN) greater than 4 V, below
which the dc/dc converter should not be able to operate. The PG interface to the downstream dc/dc converter is
simplified by referencing it to RTN.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
The PG pin can be left open if it is not used.
DC/DC CONVERTER STARTUP
The PSE and TPS2376-H are power and current limited sources, which imposes certain constraints on the PD
power supply design. Improper design of the system can prevent PD startup with some combinations of Ethernet
lines and PSE sources. The root of most startup problems revolves around the dc/dc converter.
Dc/dc converters have a constant input power characteristic that causes them to draw high currents at low
voltage. Also, a converter may draw in excess of 125% of its rated power during startup when the output voltage
approaches its regulated value, and the output capacitors are charging while the load draws its full power. These
characteristics lead to two undesired events. First, if the converter starts up during inrush, it can draw more
current than available from the TPS2376-H and cause the startup cycle to fail. Second, if the converter startup
current exceeds the TPS2376-H current limit, it may discharge the bulk capacitor until V(RTN-VSS) exceeds 10 V
and forces the TPS2376-H into inrush.
The following guidelines should be used:
1. Set the TPS2376-H inrush to a moderate value such as 140 mA.
2. Hold the dc/dc converter off during inrush using PG.
3. Implement a softstart that keeps the peak start-up current below 600 mA, and preferably only a modest
amount over the operating current, at the minimum PSE voltage and maximum feed resistance.
4. If step 3 cannot be met, the bulk input capacitor should not discharge more than 8 V during start-up at the
minimum PSE voltage and maximum feed resistance. Start-up must be completed in less than 50 ms.
Step 4 requires a balance between the converter output capacitance, load, and input bulk capacitance. While
there are some cases which may not require all these measures, it is always a good practice to follow them.
Downstream converters that use PG control are turned off during a hard fault or thermal cycle, and will go
through an orderly restart once the bulk capacitor is recharged. Converters that do not use PG need to permit a
restart by either drawing less current than the inrush current limit provides, or by disabling long enough to allow
the bulk capacitor to recharge. A converter that has bootstrap startup can be designed to accomplish this goal.
AUXILIARY POWER SOURCE ORING
Many PoE-capable devices are designed to operate from either a wall adapter or PoE power. A local power
solution adds cost and complexity, but allows a product to be used regardless of PoE availability. Attempting to
create solutions where the two power sources coexist in a specific controlled manner results in additional
complexity, and is not generally recommended. Figure 14 demonstrates three methods of diode ORing external
power into a PD. Option 1 inserts power on the output side of the PoE power conversion. Option 2 inserts power
on the TPS2376-H output. Option 3 applies power to the TPS2376-H input. Each of these options has
advantages and disadvantages. The wall adapter must meet a minimum 1500-Vac dielectric withstand test
voltage to the ac input power and to ground for options 2 and 3.

Figure 14. Auxiliary Power ORing
Option 1 consists of ORing power to the output of the PoE dc/dc converter. This option is preferred in cases
where PoE is added to an existing design that uses a low-voltage wall adapter. The relatively large PD
capacitance reduces the potential for harmful transients when the adapter is plugged in. The wall adapter output
may be grounded if the PD incorporates an isolated converter. This solution requires two separate regulators,
but low-voltage adapters are readily available. The PoE power can be given priority by setting its output voltage
above the adapter's.
Option 2 has the benefits that the adapter voltage may be lower than the TPS2376-H UVLO, and that the bulk
capacitor shown controls voltage transients caused by plugging an adapter in. The capacitor size and location
are chosen to control the amount of ringing that can occur on this node, which can be affected by additional
filtering components specific to a dc/dc converter design. The optional diode blocks the adapter voltage from
reverse biasing the input, and allows a PoE source to supply power provided that the PSE output voltage is
greater than the adapter voltage. The penalty of the diode is an additional power loss when running from PSE
power. The PSE may not be able to detect and start powering without the diode. This means that the adapter
may continue to power the PD until removed. Auxiliary voltage sources can be selected to be above or below
the PoE operational voltage range. If automatic PoE precedence is desired when using the low-voltage auxiliary
source option, make sure that the TPS2376-H inrush program limit is set higher than the maximum converter
input current at its lowest operating voltage. It is difficult to use PG with the low-voltage auxiliary source because
the converter must operate during a condition when the TPS2376-H would normally disable it. Circuits may be
designed to force operation from one source or the other depending on the desired operation and the auxiliary
source voltage chosen. However, they are not recommended because they increase complexity and thus cost.
Option 3 inserts the power before the TPS2376-H. The adapter output voltage must meet the TPS2376-H UVLO
turn-on requirement and limit the maximum voltage to 57 V. This option provides a valid power-good signal and
simplifies power priority issues. Option 3 is the most likely to create transient voltage problems when a powered
adapter is plugged in. This causes the cabling inductance and PD input capacitance to ring to a high voltage that
must be clamped by the TVS. If the adapter applies voltage to the PD before the PSE, it prevents the PSE from
detecting the PD. If the PSE is already powering the PD when the adapter is plugged in, priority is given to the
higher supply voltage.

SLVS646A – SEPTEMBER 2006 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2006
APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
ESD
The TPS2376-H has been tested using the surge of EN61000-4-2 in evaluation circuit similar to Figure 1. The
levels used were 8-kV contact discharge and 15-kV air discharge. Surges were applied between the RJ-45 and
the outputs, and between an auxiliary power input jack and the dc outputs. No failures were observed.
ESD requirements for a unit that incorporates the TPS2376-H have much broader scope and operational
implications than those used in TI’s testing. Unit level requirements should not be confused with EVM testing
that only validated the TPS2376-H.
EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Detection Resistor and UVLO Divider
The UVLO divider shown in Figure 1 is suitable where elimination of the detection resistor is desirable and the
IEEE 802.3af compatible turn on is desired. The upper resistor dissipates about 116 mW at 55.5 V (57 V minus
1.5 V for an input diode bridge) at the maximum input, and supports 52 V. An 0805 size resistor is
recommended for this resistor while an 0603 size resistor is suitable for the lower resistor.
Improved efficiency is obtained by using a detection resistor along with high-value UVLO resistors. The
maximum UVLO divider resistance may be determined by considering the effect of the UVLO pin leakage
current. The error is equal to the leakage current times the parallel resistance of the divider resistors. This may
be simplified for the 39.5 V turn-on case to the leakage current times the lower divider resistance. The maximum
resistance is the error voltage divided by the leakage current. For a 0.5% error, the maximum resistance is
(0.005 * 2.49 V) / 1 µA, or approximately 12.4 kΩ. A possible divider for a turn-on voltage of 39.5 V is 178 kΩ /
12.1 kΩ resulting in a turn-on voltage of 39.1 V. A suitable value for RDET is 28.7 kΩ, yielding a detection
resistance of 24.93 kΩ. The operating power loss at 55.5 V is 16 mW.
The input diode bridge's incremental resistance can be hundreds of ohms at the low currents seen at 2.7 V on
the PI. The bridge resistance is in series with R(DET) and increases the total resistance seen by the PSE. This
varies with the type of diode selected by the designer, and it is not usually specified on the diode data sheet.
The value of R(DET) may be adjusted downwards to accommodate a particular diode type. The non-linear
resistance of Figure 3 at low currents is the result of the diodes.
Magnetics
A high-power PoE system places additional burden on power extraction from data pairs. Data transmission
properties must be maintained while carrying higher current and withstanding higher difference current between
the conductors in a pair. This difference current is the result of unbalanced resistances between the conductors
of a pair (see IEEE 802.3af annex 33E).
Either a higher current center-tapped transformer as shown in Figure 1, or the addition of a center-tapped
inductor, can be implemented. Proper termination is required around the transformer to provide correct
impedance matching and to avoid radiated and conducted emissions.
Input Diodes or Diode Bridges
The IEEE 802.3af requires the PD to accept power on either set of input pairs in either polarity. This requirement
is satisfied by using two full-wave input bridge rectifiers as shown in Figure 1. The full configuration may not be
required when a custom high-power system is implemented. Silicon p-n diodes with a 1-A or 1.5-A rating and a
minimum breakdown of 100 V are recommended, however Schottky diodes will yield a somewhat lower power
loss. Diodes exhibit large dynamic resistance under low-current operating conditions such as in detection. The
diodes should be tested for their behavior under this condition. The total forward drops must be less than 1.5 V
at 500 µA and at the lowest operating temperature.
Input Capacitor
The IEEE 802.3af requires a PD input capacitance between 0.05 µF and 0.12 µF during detection. This
capacitor should be located directly adjacent to the TPS2376-H as shown in Figure 1. A 100-V, 10%, X7R
ceramic capacitor meets the specification over a wide temperature range.

TPS2376-H

SLVS646A – SEPTEMBER 2006 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2006
APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Load Capacitor
The IEEE 802.3af specification requires that the PD maintain a minimum load capacitance of 5 µF.
A PD can fail the dc MPS requirement if the load current to capacitance ratio is too small. This is caused by
having a long input current dropout after a drop in input voltage. The PD should begin to draw input current
within 300 ms of an abrupt 13 V input droop.
A particular design may have a tendency to cause ringing at the RTN pin during startup, inadvertent hot-plugs of
the PoE input, or plugging in a wall adapter. It is recommended that a minimum value of 1 µF be used at the
output of the TPS2376-H if downstream filtering prevents placing the larger bulk capacitor right on the output.
When using ORing option 2, it is recommended that a large capacitor such as a 22 µF be placed across the
TPS2376-H output.
Transient Suppressor
Voltage transients on the TPS2376-H can be caused by connecting or disconnecting the PD, or by other
environmental conditions like ESD. A transient voltage suppressor, such as the SMAJ58A, should be installed
after the bridge and across the TPS2376-H input as shown in Figure 1.
Some form of protection may be required from V(VDD-RTN) if adequate capacitance is not present. RTN is a high
impedance node when the MOSFET is off. Some topologies may cause large transients to occur on this pin
when the PD is plugged into an active supply.
Layout
The layout of the PoE front end must use good practices for power and EMI/ESD. A basic set of
recommendations include:
1. The parts placement must be driven by the power flow in a point-to-point manner such as RJ-45 → Ethernet
interface → diode bridges → TVS and 0.1-µF capacitor → TPS2376-H → output capacitor.
2. There should not be any crossovers of signals from one part of the flow to another.
3. All leads should be as short as possible with wide power traces and paired signal and return.
4. Spacing consistent with safety standards like IEC60950 must be observed between the 48-V input voltage
rails and between the input and an isolated converter output.
5. The TPS2376-H should be over a local ground plane or fill area referenced to VSS.
6. Large SMT component pads should be used on power dissipating devices such as the diodes and the
TPS2376-H.
Use of generous copper area on VSS and to help the PCB spread and dissipate the heat is recommended.
Assuming a worst-case power dissipation of 0.4 W, the required thermal resistance may be calculated as: θJA = (
tJ_MAX - tA_MAX ) / P. A thermal resistance of 50°C/W is required for a junction temperature of 105°C at an
ambient of 85°C. The effect of additional local heating on the circuit board from other devices must be
considered. The thermal resistance cases provided in the dissipation rating table should be used as a guide in
determining the required area.
Figure 15 provides an example of a single sided layout with liberal copper plane areas to help spread the heat.
The active circuit area could be reduced by locating the small resistors on the backside of the board. The
TPS2376-H PowerPad is covered by copper fill, which has multiple vias to a backside mirror-image fill. There
are 5 small vias under the PowerPad per the guidelines of SLMA0002 which are masked by the graphics of the
tool. The fills for RTN and VDD also help spread the heat. A copper fill clearance of 0.030 inches was used for
VDD to RTN or VSS. A spacing of 0.025 inches for the full PoE voltage was met elsewhere.

specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications
of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related
requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any
applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its
representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is
solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in
connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products
are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any
non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
