Design Idea DI-101 ® DPA-Switch Under-Voltage with Wide Hysteresis Application Device Power Output Input Voltage Output Voltage Topology PoE/VoIP DPA423G - 34-57 VDC - - Design Highlights • High hysteresis under-voltage lockout for Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Devices (PDs) • Turn-on threshold of 42 VDC and turn-off threshold of 34 VDC • Compliance to PoE standard (IEEE 802.3af) over complete voltage window ensures compatibility with PSE equipment. Tested by University of New Hampshire Interoperability Consortium (UNH-IOC)* Wide Hysteresis Under-Voltage The default under-voltage lockout and overvoltage shutdown thresholds of the DPA-Switch are programmed with a single resistor (RLS) connected from the positive input voltage to the L-pin. The default overvoltage and under-voltage thresholds have a fixed ratio (ratio approximately 2.7:1). In a PoE system, the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) provides a minimum operating voltage of 44 VDC. However, the PoE specification allows CAT-5 (Ethernet) cable lengths up to 100 meters/ 300 ft (with up to 20 Ω of cable impedance). At peak operating current (350 mA), the voltage at the PD can drop to approximately + R3 174 kΩ 1% L CONTROL - This circuit takes advantage of accurate DPA-Switch L-pin current sensing as the basis for a new composite threshold, programmed for 42 VDC turn-on and 34 VDC turn-off. The DPA-Switch detects the input voltage via current in the L-pin resistor RLS. Above an UV-on threshold (50 µA), the DPA-Switch begins switching and below an UV-off threshold (47 µA), the DPA-Switch is disabled. Transistor Q1 is turned on via bias resistor R2, causing a voltage drop across R3 and subtracting a fixed current of approximately 10 µA (moving the effective threshold to 60 µA) from the L-pin. When the power supply becomes operational, the bias voltage pulls up via R1, turning off Q1, cutting off the R3 current and returning to the default UV-off threshold (47 µA).

A minimum of 7 VDC undervoltage hysteresis is required to accommodate the cable drop voltage and prevent nuisance lockouts from occurring.

The over-voltage threshold is fixed at IOV_OFF = 135 µA, and can be calculated according to the formula above (VOV_OFF). The bias voltage (VBIAS) is divided by R2 and R1. The reverse base emitter voltage VQ1(BE)REV is the divided bias voltage minus VL. Make sure VQ1(BE)REV stays below 5 V (the transistor rating). For PoE applications, make sure to include voltage drops of input diodes (VDIN) and pass-FET drop when calculating RLS. For non-PoE applications, assume VDIN = 0. Note: Due to the L-pin synchronization function (with a 1 V threshold), resistor R2 should be sufficiently large to prevent Q1 turn-on below L-pin voltage 1 V.
