PD Interface and PWM Controller
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The WS3202 power interface port and pulse
width modulation (PWM) controller provides a
complete integrated solution for Powered
Devices (PD) that connect into Power over
Ethernet
(PoE) systems. The WS3202
integrates an 80V, 400mA line connection
switch and associated control for a fully IEEE
802.3af compliant interface with a full featured
current mode pulse width modulator DC-DC
converter. All power sequencing requirements
between the controller interface and switch
mode power supply (SMPS) are integrated
into the IC. Two options are available providing
either an 80% maximum duty cycle limit with
slope compensation (on the –80 suffix) device
or a 50% maximum duty cycle limit and no
slope compensation on the (–50 suffix) device.

Detailed Operating Description
The WS3202 power interface port and pulse width modulation (PWM) controller provides a
complete integrated solution for Powered Devices (PD) that connect into Power over Ethernet
(PoE) systems. Major features of the PD interface portion of the IC include detection,
classification, programmable inrush current limit, thermal limit, programmable under-voltage
lockout, and current limit monitoring. The device also includes a high-voltage start-up bias
regulator that operates over a wide input range up to 75V. The switch mode power supply
(SMPS) control portion of the IC includes power good sensing, VCC regulator undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, error amplifier, slope compensation, soft-start,
and oscillator sync capability. This high speed BiCMOS IC has total propagation delays less
than 100ns and a 1MHz capable oscillator programmed by a single external resistor.
The WS3202 PWM controller

requiring a single drive output, such as Fly-back and Forward topologies. The WS3202 PWM
enables all of the advantages of current-mode control including line feed-forward, cycle-bycycle current limit and simplified loop compensation. The oscillator ramp is internally buffered
and added to the PWM comparator input ramp to provide slope compensation necessary for
current mode control at duty cycles greater than 50% (-80 suffix only).
MODE of OPERATION
The WS3202 PD interface is designed to provide a fully compliant IEEE 802.3af system. As
such, the modes of operation take into account the barrel rectifiers often utilized to correctly
polarize the dc input from the Ethernet cable. Table 1 shows the WS3202 operating modes and
associated input voltage range.

Classification
Awaiting Full Power
An external signature resistor is connected to VEE when VIN exceeds 1.8V, initiating
detection mode. During detection mode, quiescent current drawn by the WS3202 is less
than 10uA. Between 10.0V and 12.5V, the device enters classification mode and the signature
resistor is disabled.
The nominal range for classification mode is 11.5V to 21.5V. The
classification current is turned off once the classification range voltage is exceeded, to reduce
power dissipation. Between 21.5V and UVLO release, the device is in a standby state,
awaiting the input voltage to reach the operational range to complete the power up sequence.
Once the VIN voltage increases above the upper UVLO threshold volt- age, the internal
power MOSFET is enabled to deliver a constant current to charge the input capacitor of
the dc-dc converter. When the MOSFET Vds voltage falls below 1.5V, the internal Power
Good signal enables the SMPS controller. The WS3202 is specified to operate with an input
voltage as high as 75V. The SMPS controller and internal MOSFET are disabled when VIN
falls to the lower UVLO threshold.

WS3202
Integrated Power Over Ethernet
PD Interface and PWM Controller
To detect a potential powered device candidate, the PSE will apply a voltage from 2.8V to
10V across the input terminal of the PD. The voltage can be of either polarity so a diode
barrel network is required on both lines to ensure this capability. The PSE will take two
measurements, separated by at least 1V and 2ms of time. The voltage ramp between
measurement points will not exceed 0.1V/us. The delta voltage / delta current calculation is
then performed; if the detected impedance is above 23.75kΩ and below 26.25kΩ, the PSE
will consider a PD to be present. If the impedance is less than 15kΩ or greater than 33kΩ a
PD will be considered not present and will not receive power. Impedances between these
values may or may not indicate the presence of a valid PD. The WS3202 will enable the
signature resistor at a controller input voltage of 1.5V to take into account the diode voltage
drops. The PSE will tolerate no more than 1.9V of offset voltage (caused by the external
diodes) or more than10uA of offset current (bias current). The input capacitance must be
greater than 0.05uF and less than 0.12uF. To increase efficiency, the signature resistor is
disabled by the WS3202 controller once the input voltage is above the detection range (>
11V).
Classification
To classify the PD, the PSE will present a voltage between
14.5V and 20.5Vto the PD. The WS3202 enables classification mode at a nominal input
voltage of 11.5V. An internal 1.5V linear regulator and an external resistor connected to
the RCLASS pin provide classification programming current. Table 2 shows the external
classification resistor required for a particular class. The classification current flows through
the IC into the classification resistor. The suggested resistor values take into account the
bias current flowing into the IC. A different desired RCLASS can be calculated by dividing
1.5V by the desired classification current. Per the IEEE 802.3af specification, classification is
optional, and the PSE will default to class 0 if a valid classification current is not detected.
If PD classification is not desired (i.e., Class 0), simply leave the RCLASS pin open. The
classification time period may not last longer than 75ms as per IEEE 802.3af. The WS3202
will remain in classification mode until VIN is greater than 22V.

Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The IEEE 802.3af specification states that the PSE will supply power to the PD within
400ms after completion of detection. The WS3202 contains a programmable line Under
Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) circuit. The first resistor should be connected between the VIN to
UVLO pins; the bottom resistor in the divider should be connected between the UVLO and
UVLORTN pins. The bottom resistor should not be tied to VEE because any current from VIN
to VEE will cause the system to violate the 10uA maximum offset current specification during
detection mode, the divider must be designed such that the voltage at the UVLO pin equals
2.0V when VIN reaches the desired mini- mum operating level. If the UVLO threshold is not
met, the interface control and SMPS control will remain in standby. UVLO hysteresis is
accomplished with an internal 10uA current source that is switched on and off into the
impedance of the UVLO set point divider. When the UVLO threshold is exceeded, the current
source is activated to instantly raise the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin
voltage falls below the 2.00V threshold, the current source is turned off, causing the voltage
at the UVLO pin to fall. The WS3202 UVLO thresholds cannot be programmed lower than
23V, otherwise the device would operate in classification mode with both the classification
current
source
and
the SMPS enabled. The combined power dissipation of these two
functions could exceed the maximum power dissipation of the package.
There are many additional uses for the UVLO pin. The UVLO function can also be used to
implement a remote enable / disable function. Pulling the UVLO pin down below the UVLO
threshold disables the interface and SMPS controller.
Power Supply Operation/Current limit Programming
Once the UVLO threshold has been satisfied, the interface controller of the WS3202 will
charge up the SMPS input capacitor through the internal power MOSFET. This load

PD Interface and PWM Controller
capacitance provides input filtering for the power converter section and must be at least 5uF
per the IEEE 802.3af specification. To accomplish the charging in a controlled manner, the
power MOSFET is current limited to 375mA. The IEEE 802.3af specification requires that
the load capacitance be charged within 75ms. Some legacy PSEs may not be able to
supply the IEEE maximum power of 15W to the PD, and this can be a problem during
startup. Low power PDs that are used in these legacy systems will require a lower
startup current limit. The WS3202 can be programmed for a reduced inrush current limit level
with a resistor at RCLP pin. The programmable inrush current limit range is 75mA to 390mA.
If the RCLP pin is left open the WS3202 will default to 390mA, near the maximum allowed
per the IEEE 802.3 specification. To set a desired inrush current limit (limit), the RCLP resistor
can be calculated from:
The SMPS controller will not initiate operation until the load capacitor is completely charged.
The power sequencing between the interface circuitry and the SMPS controller occurs
automatically within the WS3202. Detection circuitry monitors the RTN pin to detect interface
startup completion. When the RTN pin potential drops below 1.5V with respect to VEE, the
VCC regulator of the SMPS controller is enabled. The soft- start function is enabled once
the VCC regulator achieves minimum operating voltage. The RCLP programmed inrush
current limit only applies to the initial charging phase. The interface power MOSFET current
limit will revert to the fixed default protection current limit of 390mA once the SMPS is powered
up and the soft-start pin sequence begins.
High Voltage Start-Up Regulator
The WS3202 contains an internal high voltage startup regulator that allows the input pin (VIN)
to be connected directly to line voltages as high as 75V. The regulator output is internally
current limited to 15mA. The recommended capacitance range for the VCC regulator output
is 0.1uF to 10uF. When the voltage on the V CC pin reaches the regulation point of 7.8V, the
controller output is enabled. The controller will remain enabled until VCC falls below 6.25V.
In typical applications, a transformer auxiliary winding is diode connected to the VCC pin.
This winding should raise the VCC voltage above 8.1V to shut off the internal startup
regulator. Though not required, powering VCC from an auxiliary winding improves conversion

efficiency while reducing the power dissipated in the controller. The external VCC capacitor
must be selected such that the capacitor maintains the VCC voltage greater than the VCC
UVLO falling threshold (6.25V) during the initial start-up. During a fault condition when the
converter auxiliary winding is inactive, external current draw on the VCC line should be
limited such that the power dissipated in the start-up regulator does not exceed the
maximum power dissipation capability of the WS3202 package.

An internal high gain error amplifier is provided within the WS3202. The amplifier’s noninverting reference is set to a fixed reference voltage of 1.25V. The inverting input is connected
to the FB pin. In non-isolated applications, the power converter output is connected to the FB
pin via voltage scaling resistors. Loop compensation components are connected between the
COMP and FB pins. For most isolated applications the error amplifier function is implemented
on the secondary side of the converter and the internal error amplifier is not used. The internal
error amplifier is configured as an open drain output and can be disabled by connecting the FB
pin to ARTN. An internal 5K pull-up resistor between a 5V reference and COMP can be used
as the pull-up for an optocoupler in isolated applications.
Current Limit / Current Sense
The WS3202 provides a cycle-by-cycle over current protection function. Current limit is
accomplished by an internal current sense comparator. If the voltage at the current sense
comparator input CS exceeds 0.5V with respect to RTN/ ARTN, the output pulse will be
immediately
terminated.
A small RC filter, located near the CS pin of the controller, is
recommended to filter noise from the current sense signal. The CS input has an internal
MOSFET which discharges the CS pin capacitance at the conclusion of every cycle. The
discharge device remains on an additional 50ns after the beginning of the new cycle to
attenuate the leading edge spike on the current sense signal.
The WS3202 current sense and PWM comparators are very fast, and may respond to short
duration noise pulses. Layout considerations are critical for the current sense filter and sense
resistor. The capacitor associated with the CS filter must be located very close to the
device and connected directly to the pins of the controller (CS and ARTN). If a current
sense transformer is used, both leads of the trans- former secondary should be routed to the

sense resistor and the current sense filter network. A sense resistor located in the source of
the primary power MOSFET may be used for current sensing, but a low inductance resistor is
required. When designing with a current sense resistor, all of the noise sensitive low power
ground connections should be connected together local to the controller and a single
connection should be made to the high current power return (sense resistor ground point).
Oscillator, Shutdown and Sync Capability
A single external resistor connected between the RT and ARTN pins sets the WS3202 oscillator
frequency. Internal to the WS3202–50 device (50% duty cycle limited option) is an oscillator
divide by two circuits. This divide by two circuits creates an exact 50% duty cycle clock which is
used internally to create a precise 50% duty cycle limit function. Because of this divide by two,
the internal oscillator actually operates at twice the frequency of the output (OUT). For the
WS3202–80 device the oscillator frequency and the operational output frequency are the same.
To set a desired output operational frequency (F), the RT resistor can be calculated from:
WS3202-80:
WS3202-50:
The WS3202 can also be synchronized to an external clock. The external clock must have a
higher frequency than the free running oscillator frequency set by the RT resistor. The clock
signal should be capacitively coupled into the RT pin with a 100pF capacitor. A peak voltage
level greater than 3.7 volts at the RT pin is required for detection of the sync pulse. The sync
pulse width should be set between 15 to 150ns by the external components. The RT resistor is
always required, whether the oscillator is free running or externally synchronized. The voltage at
the RT pin is internally regulated to 2 volts. The RT resistor should be located very close to the
device and connected directly to the pins of the controller (RT and ARTN).
PWM Comparator/Slope Compensation

from the error amplifier output. The error amplifier output voltage at the COMP pin is offset by
1.4V and then further attenuated by a 3:1 resistor divider. The PWM comparator polarity is such
that 0 Volts on the COMP pin will result in zero duty cycle at the controller output. For duty
cycles greater than 50 percent, current mode control circuits are subject to sub-harmonic
oscillation. By adding an additional fixed slope voltage ramp signal (slope compensation)
to the current sense signal, this oscillation can be avoided. The WS3202-80 integrates this
slope compensation by summing a current ramp generated by the oscillator with the current
sense signal. Additional slope compensation may be added by increasing the source
impedance of the current sense signal (with an external resistor between the CS pin and current
sense resistor). Since the WS3202-50 is not capable of duty cycles greater than 50%, there is
no slope compensation feature in this device.
Softstart
The softstart feature allows the power converter to gradually reach the initial steady state
operating point, thereby reducing start-up stresses, output overshoot and current surges. At
power on, after the VCC under-voltage lockout threshold is satisfied, an internal 10µA current
source charges an external capacitor connected to the SS pin. The capacitor voltage will ramp
up slowly and will limit the COMP pin voltage and the duty cycle of the output pulses.
Gate Driver and Maximum Duty Cycle Limit
The WS3202 provides an internal gate driver (OUT), which can source and sink a peak current
of 800mA. The WS3202 is available in two duty cycle limit options. The maximum output duty
cycle is typically 80% for the WS3202-80 option and precisely equal to 50% for the WS3202-50
option. The maximum duty cycle function for the WS3202-50 is accomplished with an internal
toggle flip-flop which ensures an accurate duty cycle limit. The internal oscillator frequency of
the WS3202-50 is therefore twice the operating frequency of the PWM controller (OUT pin).
The 80% maximum duty cycle limit of the WS3202-80 is determined by the internal oscillator
and varies more than the 50% limit of the WS3202-50.
For the WS3202-80, the internal
oscillator frequency and the operational frequency of the PWM controller are equal.

Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event the
maximum junction temperature is exceeded. This feature prevents catastrophic failures from
accidental device overheating. When activated, typically at 165 degrees Celsius, the controller
is forced into a low power standby state, disabling the output driver, bias regulator, main
interface pass MOSFET, and classification regulator if enabled. After the temperature is
reduced (typical hysteresis = 25˚C) the VCC regulator will be enabled and a softstart sequence
initiated.
