2. Description
The Ag8100 series of modules are designed to extract power from a conventional twisted pair
Category 5 Ethernet cable, conforming to the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
standard.
The Ag8100 signature and control circuit provides the PoE compatibility signature and power
classification required by the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) before applying up to 15W
power to the port. The Ag8100 is compatible with Class 0 to Class 3 equipment.
The high efficiency DC/DC converter operates over a wide input voltage range and provides a
non-isolated regulated low ripple and low noise output. The DC/DC converter also has built-in
output overload, output short-circuit and over-temperature protection.

5. Functional Description
5.1. Inputs
The Ag8100 has a single input that can be connected to two external bridge rectifiers (see
Figure 1). This allows the Ag8100 to be compatible with equipment that use the different
power options, see Figure 3. It is important that the PSE does not apply power to both
bridge rectifiers at the same time (Refer to IEEE802.3af for more information).

5.2. PD Signature
When the Ag8100 is connected to the Cat 5e cable, it will automatically present a Powered
Device (PD) signature to the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) or Midspan Equipment,
when requested. The equipment will then recognise that a powered device is connected to
that line and supply power.
5.3. Isolation
The Ag8100 series conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard except for the 1500V isolation,
which must be done externally. This is usually achieved without additional components, by
using a plastic insulated enclosure. Contact Silver Telecom for further details.

5.4. Power Classification
This is optional from the PSE and is used for power management. The Ag8100 allows the
current class to be externally programmed by connecting a resistor between the CP and
VIN- pins, see Figure 4. If no resistor is fitted the Ag8100 will default to Class 0, a full list of
programming resistor values are shown in Table 2.

5.5. DC/DC Converter
The Ag8100’s DC/DC converter provides a non-isolated regulated low ripple and low noise
output, that has built-in overload and short-circuit output protection, as well a built-in
thermal cut-off - see Table 1: Ordering Information for voltage and power ratings.
Because the Ag8100 series are non-isolated the +VDC output is (internally) connected to
the VIN+ input.

5.6. Grounding
If the Ag8100 is supplied from a grounded source (e.g. a standard multi-channel PSE) it is
important that the –VDC output is NOT connected to ground.
Connecting both input and output to ground will result in a short circuit that will prevent the
Ag8100 from operating correctly.
5.7. Output Adjustment
The Ag8100 output voltage is set externally by the RA resistor. If the RA resistor is open
circuit (O/C) then the output is set to its maximum voltage. If the RA resistor is a short
circuit (S/C) then the output will be set to its minimum voltage. Table 3 below shows the
output voltage range of each of the product variants and the values of RA required to set
the nominal output voltage.

5.8. Typical Connections
The Ag8100 only requires external bridge rectifiers on its input, the RA resistor and a low
cost capacitor on its output (a minimum of 470µF is recommended) as shown in Figure 6.
The value of C1 will be related to the maximum load step change that the output needs to
drive. For example, in an application were the output needs to cope with a 1.8 Amp load
step change, a minimum of 1000µF should be used. This can be a standard low cost
electrolytic and does not need to be a low ESR type.
Figure 6 shows a 16V capacitor that would cover all product variants up to and including
the Ag8112, see Table 1: Ordering Information.
The Class programming and the Output Adjust inputs are optional and are provided to give
great flexibility to the Ag8100. Further information on using these inputs can be found in
sections 5.4. Power Classification and 5.7. Output Adjustment.

6. Typical Application
The Ag8100 can be used in numerous applications. In the example shown in Figure 7, the
data outputs from the switch are connected to the inputs of a midspan. The midspan will
then add power (to the data) on each output that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).
In this example port 1 is connected to an ethernet camera and port 2 is connected to a
wireless access point, both of these devices have a built-in Ag8100. When the midspan is
switched on (or when the device is connected), the midspan will check each output for a
PoE signature. On ports 1 and 2 the Ag8100 will identify themselves as PoE enabled
devices and the midspan will supply both data and power to these peripherals.
The other ports (shown in this example) will not have a PoE signature and the midspan will
only pass the data through to these peripherals. The midspan will continuously monitor
each output to see if a PoE enabled device has been added or removed.

7. Typical Recommendations
Figure 8 gives an example of the tracking needed for the Ag8100. R1, R2 and R3 are
optional components, but C1 needs to be positioned close to the output pins of the Ag8100
as possible to minimise the current loop. The thermal performance of the Ag8100 can be
improved by increasing the surface area of the track +VDC, -VDC and Thermal Ground.

8. Operating Temperature Range
Because the Ag8100 is a power component, it will generate heat, so it is important that this
be taken into consideration at the design stage.
The heart of the Ag8100 is a DC/DC converter, which like any other power supply will
generate heat. The amount of heat generated by the module will depend on the load it is
required to drive and the input voltage supplied by the PSE. The information shown within
this section of datasheet is referenced to a nominal 48Vdc input voltage supplied by the
PSE.
The Ag8100 has a maximum ambient operating temperature of 70OC see Figure 10,
Figure 11 & Figure 12. These results are in still air without any heatsinking, the
performance of the Ag8100 can be improved by forcing the airflow over the part or by
using a heatsink (see the Ag8100 application note on heatsinking for more information).
The Ag8100 has built-in thermal protection, to prevent the module from being damaged if
operated beyond its power / temperature specification. If the thermal protection circuit is
activated then the DC/DC converter will shut down and will remain off until the input
voltage is removed and reapplied. In shut down mode the Ag8100 input current will be less
than 5mA, which is below the PSE output hold current. The PSE will assume that the
Ag8100 has been disconnected and will switch its output off and will return to testing for a

Power-Over-Ethernet Module
correct signature. The thermal protection circuit will continue to disable the DC/DC
converter until the Ag8100 temperature has cooled sufficiently.
Because each application is different it is impossible to give fixed and absolute thermal
recommendations. However it is important that any enclosure used has sufficient
ventilation for the Ag8100 and a direct airflow if possible.
One simple method for drawing some of the heat away from the Ag8100 is shown in
Figure 9. Power planes connected to the +VDC, -VDC and Thermal Ground pins can be
used to draw heat away from the Ag8100. These power planes must be on the outer layer
of the PCB on the opposite side of the PCB to the Ag8100.
Figure 9: Power Plane Heatsink for Ag8100
Figure 10, Figure 11 & Figure 12 show the maximum ambient temperature under different
load conditions. These figure have been recorded in a sealed enclosure (in still air) using a
heater element to elevate the ambient temperature (within the enclosure).
9. Over-voltage
The Ag8100 may be damaged by voltage inputs greater than 80V. If protection from
electrostatic discharge (ESD) or other high voltage transients is required it is
recommended that an over-voltage clamping device is fitted between the VIN+ and the
VIN- pins. Typically an SMAJ58 will be sufficient.
