2. Description
The Ag8000 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.
IEEE 802.3af allows for two power options for Category 5 cables and the Ag8000 series have
two pairs of power inputs pins: - VA1&2 and VB1&2 to accommodate this, see Figure 1.
The Ag8000 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 Ag8000 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 Ag8000 has two internal bridge rectifiers (see Figure 1: Block Diagram) connected to
the VA1-VA2 and the VB1-VB2 inputs. This allows the Ag8000 to be compatible with
equipment that use the different power options, see Figure 3: Typical System Diagram. It
is important that the PSE does not apply power to the VA and VB outputs at the same time
(Refer to IEEE802.3af for more information).

5.2. PD Signature
When the Ag8000 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 Ag8000 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,
contact Silver Telecom for further details.

5.4. Power Classification
This is optional from the PSE and is used for power management. The Ag8000 allows the
current class to be externally programmed by connecting a resistor between the CP1 and
CP2 pins, see Figure 4: Class Programming Option. If no resistor is fitted the Ag8000 will
default to Class 0, a full list of programming resistor values are shown in Table 2: Class

5.5. DC/DC Converter
The Ag8000’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 Ag8000 series is non-isolated the +VDC output is connected to the positive
input through a diode bridge.

5.6. Grounding
If the Ag8000 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 short circuit the input diode bridge, this
prevents correct operation of the Ag8000.
5.7. Output Adjustment
The Ag8000 has an ADJ pin, which allows the output voltage to be increased or decreased
from its nominal value.
Figure 5: Output Adjustment shows how the ADJ pin is connected: -

5.8. Typical Connections
The Ag8000 only requires one external component as shown in Figure 6: Typical
Connection Diagram, a minimum of 470µF is recommended.
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 Ag8012, see Table 1: Ordering Information.
The Class programming and the Output Adjust inputs are optional and are provided to give
great flexibility to the Ag8000 product range. Further information on using these inputs can
be found in sections 5.4. Power Classification and 5.7. Output Adjustment.

6. Typical Application
The Ag8000 can be used in numerous applications. In the example shown in Figure 7:
Typical Application, 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 Ag8000. 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 Ag8000 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: Typical Layout gives an example of the tracking needed for the Ag8000. R1, R2
and R3 are optional components, but C1 needs to be positioned close to the output pins of
the Ag8000 as possible to minimise the current loop. The thermal performance of the
Ag8000 can be improved by increasing the surface area of the output tracks (+VDC and VDC) this is not applicable if the Ag8000 is in a socket.

Figure 8: Typical Layout
8. Operating Temperature Range
Because the Ag8000 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 Ag8000 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 Ag8000 has a maximum ambient operating temperature of 70 OC see Figure 10,
Figure 11 & Figure 12. These results are in still air without any heatsinking, the
performance of the Ag8000 can be improved by forcing the airflow over the part or by
using a heatsink (see the Ag8000 application note on heatsinking for more information).
The output stage of the Ag8000 has a built-in thermal protection circuit, to prevent the
module from being damaged if operated beyond its power / temperature specification.
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 Ag8000 and a direct airflow if possible.

One simple method for drawing some of the heat away from the Ag8000 is shown in
Figure 9. Power planes connected to the +VDC and GND pins of the Ag8000 can be used
to draw heat away from the DC/DC converter via the output pins.
These power planes must be on the outer layers of the PCB and the Ag8000 must not be
fitted into a socket (this example is suitable for both –S and –D variants).
