Si3459-KIT Si3459 E VALUATION K I T U SER ’ S G UIDE 1. Introduction The Si3459 16-port evaluation kit (Si3459-KIT) is intended for Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) system designers interested in evaluating the 8-port Si3459 PSE controller. The Si3459 is controlled through an I2C (or SMBus) interface. For convenience in evaluation, a graphical user interface (GUI) is provided, giving an easy-to-use visual display and control of the Si3459 I2C registers. The evaluation kit assumes the user has access to a PC to control the evaluation board using the provided GUI. The user is also responsible for providing an appropriate high-voltage power supply. The power supply should be 45 to 57 V for normal PoE or 51 to 57 V for PoE+. The Si3459 can supply over 30 W to each port. Thus, the two Si3459 controllers for the 16-port demo system can provide over 480 W of total power. While the classification and actual current consumption of each port is available, the demo GUI interacts with the Si3459 on a per-port basis and does not implement system-level power management. Contact Silicon Laboratories for more information about system-level power management options. The Si3459-KIT kit has been thoroughly tested for standards compliance and interoperability. Contact Silicon Laboratories for test reports using Sifos PoE test equipment and University of New Hampshire PoE standards compliance and interoperability reports.

Perform initial setup as follows: 1. Verify that Evaluation Board jumper placements are correct, according to Figure 18 schematic, Figure 6. “Si3459 Jumpers” and Table 2. On the Connector Board, the default condition occurs when all jumpers are installed. 2. Connect the Si3459 evaluation card (Si3459-EVB) to the two RJ45 (Si3459CB-EVB) cards using the 20-pin ribbon cables. 3. Plug J104 (refer to the silkscreen on the bottom of the board) of the PoEUSB adapter into J2 of the Si3459-EVB. 4. Connect a 52 V power supply to J3. When the high voltage supply is turned on, the power LED D3 will indicate that the on-board generated 3.3 V logic supply is active. The power LED location is indicated by green circles in Figure 6. “Si3459 Jumpers”. 5. Plug the PoEUSB adapter into an available computer USB port if this was not already done during the software installation step. If the drivers were installed properly, the PC should recognize the adapter. 6. The Si3459 Evaluation Board is configured as a midspan power injector. The data input lines are on the top row, and the power plus data output lines are on the bottom row. See Figure 7. A Powered Device (PD) is plugged into the bottom row. 7.

Using the Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor To run the Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor, double click on the “Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor” desktop icon. You may also run the Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor from the Start menu, by selecting: StartAll ProgramsSilicon LaboratoriesSi3454 & Si3459 Monitor. Figure 8 shows the Si3454 & Si3459 GUI when it is initially opened. The version of the Monitor is displayed in the upper left corner of the window. Figure 8. Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor GUI 5.1. Interface Selector Ensure that the Interface Selector in the lower left of the monitor window indicates “Interface: PoEUSB”. If it shows “Interface: Dummy”, you have not successfully installed and connected to the PoE USB interface adapter. Figure 9. Interface Selector The Interface Selector specifies which USB-to-I2C converter device to use for communicating with the Si3459 PSE controllers. The Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor supports several different USB-to-I2C converter devices. If more than one of these devices is connected to the PC at the same time, then the user can select which one to use with the Interface drop-down box. The “Dummy” device is a substitute device that does not actually perform I2C communications. The Dummy device allows the Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor to be opened and perform in an emulation mode even if there are no USB-to-I2C converter devices connected to the PC. 8 Confidential Rev. 0.3 Si3459-KIT 5.2. Si3454 & Si3459 Monitor Layout Along the top are monitor controls. On the left side are Si3459 global identification, power information and settings. Immediately to the right are events and interrupts. On the right side all the Si3459 registers are individually accessible. The middle section provides a graphical interface to the Si3459 registers. Changes made in either the register or graphical view are instantly updated in the other view. 5.3. Monitor Control The primary purpose of the Monitor Control area is to configure and control the operation of the GUI itself. Figure 10. Monitor Control Area The user may manually update the GUI by clicking the “Refresh” button. The GUI reads the Si3459 registers and updates the displayed information. The user may cause the GUI to automatically update itself at regular intervals by clicking on the “Start polling” button. Once pressed, the button text changes to “Stop polling”. The green LED symbol on the Polling button flashes red each time an update occurs. The “Poll delay” text box allows the user to specify the time between updates. The user may stop automatic updates by clicking on the “Stop polling” button. The user selects which Si3459 controller to use with the “Slave addr” box. Several Si3459 controllers may be connected to the I2C bus. Each controller responds to two sequential I2C slave addresses corresponding to its two quad-port sub-units or “quads”. The “Slave addr” box specifies which of the Si3459 controllers/quads to communicate with. The GUI transacts with only one Si3459/quad at a time. The user may dynamically switch the GUI between different Si3459/quads by selecting a new address in the “Slave addr” box corresponding to the jumper setting on the Si3459-EVB (J1, J5). If the user checks the “CoR” (Clear on Read) check box, then the GUI also reads the Si3459's CoR registers when updating. If the CoR check box is not checked, then the GUI does not read the CoR registers when updating. The CoR registers are the Global and the Port Event registers. Reading a CoR register has side effects: It clears that register and clears the associated event bit in the interrupt register. Consequently, if the CoR check box is checked while the GUI is polling, then events could come and go without being noticed by the user. If the user checks the “RoM” (Read on Modify) check box, then the GUI automatically updates itself after the user modifies a register via the GUI. The GUI automatically shows the effect of any change within a time delay, specified by the “RoM delay” text box. The RoM behavior is only useful if polling is stopped. The Monitor Control area has three buttons. The “SW Reset” button resets the selected quad of the Si3459 by setting the “swrst” bit in the pb_global register. The “Shutdown low priority ports” button turns off all low priority ports in the selected quad by setting the “lowpri” bit in the pb_global register. The “HW Reset” button causes a reset pulse to be asserted on the Si3459 Reset pin. This fully resets all Si3459 devices on the board. Confidential Rev. 0.3 9 Si3459-KIT 5.4. Device Information The Device Information box displays high-level information about the Si3459 device, including hardware revision and the firmware version. Note: The example shown in Figure 11 is representative but may not contain the same data as that displayed with your board. Figure 11. Device Information Box 5.5. Port Boxes The port boxes display port status and have controls for configuring and controlling the ports. Each port has its own box. Figure 12. Port Box 5.5.1. Port Status A port box displays the results of the last detection and last classification in the lower left. If not polling, the user may manually update the port detect and classify status by clicking on the “R” (read) button. Port voltage and current are displayed in the port box upper right corner. If polling is not enabled, then the user may manually update the port voltage and current reading by clicking on the “Refresh” button. 5.5.2. Port Configuration A port box contains four radio buttons to configure the mode of the port. The port mode may be Shutdown, Manual, Semi-auto, or Auto. The port features can be configured with the four checkboxes on the right pane. If “Disconnect enable” is checked, the port removes power if the powered device is unplugged. If the “2 event class. enable” is checked, then the Si3459 will follow the IEEE802.3at Type 2 (2-event) classification method for PDs presenting Class 4 signature during the first event. The “2-event class” LED is lit when the Type 2 classification is successful. The “Type2Fault” provides additional status information about the classification. The “FET Bad” LED is lit when the external FET is damaged. The following steps detail how a port can be manually turned on in the IEEE 802.3at Type 2 high-power manner (see Figure 16 on page 16): 1. Enable detection and classification by checking the “Detect enable” and “Class enable” check-boxes. 2. Enable the 2 event classification by checking the "2 event class. enable" check box. 10 Confidential Rev. 0.3 Si3459-KIT 3. Watch for a successful 2 event classification by checking the state of the “2-event class.” LED 4. Once the classification is successful, set the Ilim to 850 mA 5. Set the proper Icut limit (see below) according to the available power 6. Turn on the port using the “On” pushbutton. If “Low priority” is checked, the port immediately removes power if the “Shutdown low priority ports” button is clicked. If “Legacy enable” is checked, then the port supplies power to a legacy powered device even though the powered device does not provide a valid detection resistance. The “Legacy enable” check box supports compatibility with certain older PD devices. Please consult the Si3459 data sheet for details. Checking “Midspan backoff” allows selection of midspan type Alternative B detection back-off timing. The user may configure a port's Icut level with the “Icut (mA)” drop-down box. The port automatically removes power if the port current is greater than the Icut level for more than 60 ms. 5.5.3. Port Control A port box contains three buttons for controlling a port. The “On” button forces a port to supply power; the “Off” button forces a port to remove power, and the “Reset” button resets a port. Detect and Class buttons force a single detection or classification operation. 5.6. Interrupts and Events The Si3459 detects multiple events based on state of the device in general and its ports. Events may be configured to generate interrupts. The GUI displays events, allows individual interrupts to be enabled and disabled, and displays the status of interrupts. 5.6.1. Interrupt Enable The Interrupt Enable box shown in Figure 13 specifies which events cause the Si3459 to generate an interrupt. If the interrupt line is active, the Interrupt Line Active bar at the bottom of the Interrupts box is bright red instead of dark red. Note that if there are multiple Si3459 controllers in the system, one or more of these controllers may be pulling the interrupt line low. It may not be the currently-selected Si3459 that is making the interrupt line active. Confidential Rev. 0.3 11 Si3459-KIT Figure 13. Interrupt Enable and Events Boxes 5.6.2. Events The Events box shown in Figure 13 displays the status of the interrupt line and the port events. The GUI events section indicates both global and port-specific events. Each events register consists of a pair of read-only (RO), and clear-on-read (CoR) registers with the same event bits. Reading the RO register obtains the bit values but does not affect the bits. Reading the CoR register obtains the values of the bits, and also clears the bits in both the RO and CoR registers. The indicators in the GUI Events section show the values from the RO register if the RO register is read by push of the “R” button or by polling. Events enabled to cause an interrupt will propagate to the interrupt active indicator, but will only be reflected in the remainder of the GUI when the RO registers are read. For the best real-time view of the Si3459 events bits, it is recommended to enable polling. 5.7. Register List The Register List shown in Figure 14 displays the contents of the Si3459 registers and allows the user to change the register contents. 12 Confidential Rev. 0.3 Si3459-KIT Figure 14. Register List The Register List displays all of the Si3459’s registers grouped by category. Each category of registers can be expanded and collapsed by clicking on the plus and minus signs at the left edge of the Register List. Next to the register name, the type of each register is displayed. Each register is either RW (read/write), RO (read only), WO (write only) or CR (Clear on Read). WO registers reflect the value applied by the user. Confidential Rev. 0.3 13 Si3459-KIT The user may specify which registers to read (when the GUI is updated) by checking a box at the left of each register name. Refreshing, polling, and RoM, all depend on these settings. Clear on Read registers are read only if both the CoR check box is checked and the check box for the individual CR register is checked. The user may read and write individual registers by using the “R” (read) and “W” (write) buttons at the right edge of each register. The “R” and “W” buttons are disabled if the operation is not allowed for the type of register. The display of the whole register file can be read and updated at once by clicking on the “Refresh” button. The Register List displays the value of each register in binary and hexadecimal form. If a register has not yet been read, then its binary value is displayed as all Xs, and its hexadecimal value is blank. A register's hexadecimal value is displayed in a text box. If a register is not writable (RO or CR), then its text box is gray and its hexadecimal value cannot be changed by the user. If a register is writable (RW), then its text box is white and its hexadecimal value can be changed by the user. After changing a register's value, the user clicks on the register's “W” button to write the new value to the register. 14 Confidential Rev. 0.3 Si3459-KIT 6. Operating the System Each RJ45 connector board has eight LEDs for the eight ports. Each LED is driven by a comparator circuit which detects when a voltage is forced to the load at the PoE output. When the ports are in auto mode, the LEDs in the RJ45 connector board flash, indicating the detection cycle until a valid PD is connected. Once a valid PD is connected and the port is turned on, the LEDs will glow steadily until the PD is disconnected. Once the PD is connected, the port current will be displayed on the GUI. Note that the comparator circuits load the ports slightly, and the LEDs dissipate power from the 3.3 V rail. If performing calibrated tests, it may be desirable to isolate the comparator circuitry and eliminate any loading. This may be done by removing all jumpers from the connector board. The easiest way to get started is to put all of the ports in Auto mode. In Auto mode, detection, classification, power management based on classification (Icut setting), disconnect (when enabled by “Dis Enable”), fault protection, fault recovery, and port monitoring all happen without user intervention. Figure 15 shows the result of putting Port 1 in Auto mode. Circles indicate the required settings, and the squares indicate that a PD connected to the port has been detected, classified, and powered. Auto mode may also be enabled on all ports by configuring J10 and resetting the board by pressing SW1 or cycling power. The Si3459 normally operates in manual or semi-automatic mode with the AUTO pin is held low. If a positive voltage is applied to the AUTO pin, the Si3459 enters into fully autonomous operation, independent of a host. The Si3459 also features dc disconnect detection algorithms to determine when a PD device is disconnected from any of the eight independent ports. The AUTO mode can be set via the AUTO pin or from the host via I2C. At power-up, the Si3459 reads the voltage on the AUTO pin (which can be set by a resistor divider from VDD to GND). If a positive voltage is applied, the Si3459 enters into AUTO mode (all ports operate fully autonomously). The AUTO pin voltage level configures the Si3459's behavior to register default values. For additional detail on Auto Pin Configurations, refer to Section 3.2 Operating Modes in the Si3459 data sheet. If the GUI is left in polling mode, the port status, port current, port voltage are all automatically updated by polling the appropriate registers of the Si3459. The Si3459 itself normally powers up as Alternative A, with no detection back-off, meaning the detect function cycles at its highest rate. This is the most common usage for the Si3459. The RJ-45 connector board for the evaluation kit is configured to inject the power on the “spare pairs” of the Ethernet cable, which is the Alternative B or “Midspan” connection. Detection back-off is intended to ensure that a midspan and an endpoint do not compete with each other and result in a failure to provide power. With detection back-off, the time between detection pulses is increased to just over two seconds so as not to compete with the normal (approximately three times per second) detection of an endpoint. If detection back-off is required, click the “Midspan” button to toggle this mode. You will see that the LEDs on the connector board now flash at the slower detection speed. To toggle the mode back to standard detection timing, click the button again. The Si3459 in auto mode is fully-compliant with the 802.3at standard (often called PoE+), which allows up to 30 W to be delivered over the Ethernet cable. In host-controlled mode, to enable the higher power support for a given port, it is necessary to make multiple selections as described in "5.5.2. Port Configuration" on page 10. When Auto mode is selected by the Auto jumper, the Si3459 automatically performs the two-event classification and increases the cut-off current if a Class 4 PD is detected. The Si3402 evaluation board provided with the kit is configured to provide the Class 4 signature; so, if the PoE+ mode is enabled and the Si3402 is plugged in, the cut-off current is automatically set to 643.2 mA. Figure 16 shows the result of plugging in a Class 4 PD (into Port1) with PoE+ power enabled. Class 4-specific settings and results are highlighted. Confidential Rev. 0.3 15 Si3459-KIT Figure 15.

Board Schematics, BOM, and Layout The following are general PCB layout considerations. Detailed schematics, BOM, and layout can also be found in the following sections. Visit the Silicon Labs Technical Support web page and register to submit a technical support request, particularly if you are not closely following the recommended reference design. 7.1. Design and Layout Considerations The Si3459 directly drives and senses detection and classification stimulus voltages. PoE power is enabled through external FETs. PoE power supply currents in each channel are sensed using current shunt resistors with sensed voltage referenced to GND. Normally the layout will be 4-layer, with dedicated VPWR and GND planes for PoE power delivery. The ground power plane does not generally have a high frequency content; so, it is acceptable to use a single GND plane and tie GND, AGND, DGND pins to it. The thermal pad of the Si3459 is connected to GND. Si3459 internal dissipation is modest, but for best performance the layout should include a thermal bond consisting of multiple vias between the thermal pad and GND. The PoE power MOSFETs carry up to 800 mA dc and up to 5 A in faults; so, a 20 mil trace with wide or multiple vias is also recommended. The Si3459 includes a buck type dc-dc converter controller function, which generates a raw ~4 V power rail VCAP. The buck regulator is able to supply 200 mA; so, within a group of Si3459 devices, only one buck regulator is required. The single buck regulator supplies low drop-out (LDO) regulators within individual Si3459 devices to generate their VDD = 3.3 V. Each LDO supplies the 3.3 V requirements of its own Si3459. The Si3459 VDD LDO is able to supply additional current for an external device, such as an isolator or low-power-management microcontroller. The Si3459 buck regulator is a potential EMI source. The power devices, e.g. switching MOSFET, inductor, diode and output capacitor should be located as close together as possible to minimize loop area. The entire switching circuit should be shielded from Si3459 port connections to minimize the chance of interference. To improve sensing accuracy, the Si3459 provides Kelvin connections for the resistor low side sense. The SENSEx signals are connected to GND potential, but for best performance they should be routed separately from the GND plane. To avoid coupling between surge events and logic signals, it is recommended that VOUTn traces be well separated from I2C interface pins. A typical layer stackup is as follows: 1. Top: I2C, Si3459 Kelvin current sense 2. VPWR, VDD = 3.3 V 3. VEE = GND 4. Bottom: VOUT, switcher, VCAP The I2C bus runs at 400 kHz maximum. The I2C bus lines should be routed away from analog lines like Rbias or Vref but can otherwise be routed with ordinary care. If using a Silicon Labs I2C isolation product, please observe the connections as per the reference design, which take into account required voltage margins and pullup values.
