LM5071
Power Over Ethernet PD Controller with Auxiliary Power
Interface
General Description
The LM5071 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 LM5071 is specifically designed for the PD that must accept power from auxiliary
sources such as ac adapters. The auxiliary power interface of the LM5071 activates the PWM controller when the
ac adapter is connected to power the PD when PoE network
power is unavailable. The LM5071 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.

Description
Application Information
System high potential input.
The diode “OR” of several lines entering the PD, it is the more
positive input potential.
Signature resistor pin.
Connect a resistor from VIN to this pin for signature detection. The
resistor is in parallel with the UVLO resistors and should be valued
accordingly.
Classification resistor pin.
Connect the classification programming resistor from this pin to VEE.
Auxiliary input power startup pin.
A resistor divider between the AUX voltage input to VEE programs
the startup levels with a 2.5V threshold. A high value ( > 300kΩ)
internal pull down resistor is present to pull the pin low if it is left
open. In practice, the divider voltage should be set well above 2.5V
by the programming resistors.
Line under-voltage lockout.
An external resistor divider from VIN to UVLORTN programs the
shutdown levels with a 2.00V threshold at the UVLO pin. Hysteresis
is set by a switched internal 10uA current source that forces
additional current into the resistor divider.

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 LM5071 is specified to operate with an input voltage as
high as 60.0V. The SMPS controller and internal MOSFET
are disabled when VIN falls to the lower UVLO threshold.
Detailed Operating Description
The LM5071 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, thermal
limit, programmable undervoltage 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
60V. 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, softstart, 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 LM5071 PWM controller
provides current-mode control for dc-dc converter topologies
requiring a single drive output, such as Flyback and Forward
topologies. The LM5071 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).
Detection Signature
To detect a potential powered device candidate, the PSE
(Power Sourcing Equipment) will apply a voltage from 2.8V
to 10V across the input terminals 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 LM5071
will enable the signature resistor at a controller input voltage
of 1.5V to take into account the diode voltage drops. An
external signature resistor should be placed between the
VIN and RSIG pins. The signature resistor is in parallel with
the external UVLO resistor divider, and its value should be
calculated accordingly. Targeting 24.5kΩ increases margin in
the signature design as the input bridge rectifier diodes
contribute to the series resistance measured at the PD input
terminals. The PSE will tolerate no more than 1.9V of offset
voltage (caused by the external diodes) or more than 10uA
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 LM5071
controller once the input voltage is above the detection
range ( > 11V).
Modes of Operation
The LM5071 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 LM5071 operating modes and associated
input voltage range.

Classification
To classify the PD, the PSE will present a voltage between
14.5V and 20.5V to the PD. The LM5071 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 LM5071 will remain in classification
mode until VIN is greater than 25V.
An external signature resistor is connected to VEE when VIN
exceeds 1.8V, initiating detection mode. During detection
mode, quiescent current drawn by the LM5071 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 25.0V. The
classification current is turned off once the classification
range voltage is exceeded, to reduce power dissipation.
Between 25.0V 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-

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 LM5071
UVLO thresholds cannot be programmed lower than 25V,
the AUX pin should be used to force UVLO release below
25V.

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
unless forced on via AUX pin operation.
AUX Pin Operation
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The AUX pin can be used to force operation (UVLO release)
of the interface and switching regulator at any input voltage
above 9.5V. This is especially useful for auxiliary input (wall
transformer) input voltages. The pin has a 2.5V threshold
(0.5V hysteresis) and an input impedance of approximately
350kΩ. The input resistor provides a defined pull down
impedance if the pin is left open by the user. An external pull
down resistor should be used to provide additional noise
immunity. The resultant pin voltage from the external resistor
divider should be well above the 2.5V threshold to ensure
proper auxiliary operation. See Figure 4 for an example of a
simple yet robust auxiliary configuration.
The IEEE 802.3af specification states that the PSE will
supply power to the PD within 400ms after completion of
detection. The LM5071 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 divider must be designed such that the voltage at the
UVLO pin equals 2.0V when VIN reaches the desired minimum 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

tance 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.
Power Supply Operation
Once the UVLO threshold has been satisfied, the interface
controller of the LM5071 will charge up the SMPS input
capacitor through the internal power MOSFET. This load
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 100mA.
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 LM5071
package.
If the VCC auxiliary winding is used with a low voltage auxiliary supply (wall transformer), the VCC pin could back feed
through the LM5071 to the VIN pin. A diode from VCC to VIN
should be used to clamp the VCC pin and prevent this
internal back feed. The winding voltage will remain the same
and extra power will be dissipated in the series resistor. Also,
note that when using a very low voltage auxiliary supply, a
diode from the AUX supply to the VCC pin should be used to
ensure VCC startup.
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 LM5071. 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 softstart function is enabled once the VCC regulator achieves
minimum operating voltage. The inrush current limit only
applies to the initial charging phase. The interface power
MOSFET current limit will revert to the 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 LM5071 contains an internal high voltage startup regulator that allows the input pin (VIN) to be connected directly to
line voltages as high as 60V. The regulator output is internally current limited to 15mA. The recommended capaci-

Error Amplifier
An internal high gain error amplifier is provided within the
LM5071. The amplifier’s non-inverting 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.
LM5071-50:
The LM5071 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 a 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).
Current Limit / Current Sense
The LM5071 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 LM5071 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 transformer 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).
PWM Comparator / Slope
Compensation
The PWM comparator compares the current ramp signal
with the loop error voltage derived 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 LM5071-80 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 LM5071-50 is not capable of duty cycles greater than
50%, there is no slope compensation feature in this device.
Softstart
Oscillator, Shutdown and Sync
Capability
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 undervoltage 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.
A single external resistor connected between the RT and
ARTN pins sets the LM5071 oscillator frequency. Internal to
the LM5071–50 device (50% duty cycle limited option) is an
oscillator divide by two circuit. This divide by two circuit
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
LM5071–80 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:
LM5071-80:
Gate Driver and Maximum Duty
Cycle Limit
The LM5071 provides an internal gate driver (OUT), which
can source and sink a peak current of 800mA. The LM5071
is available in two duty cycle limit options. The maximum
output duty cycle is typically 80% for the LM5071-80 option
and precisely equal to 50% for the LM5071-50 option. The
maximum duty cycle function for the LM5071-50 is accom13

perature 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.
plished with an internal toggle flip-flop which ensures an
accurate duty cycle limit. The internal oscillator frequency of
the LM5071-50 is therefore twice the operating frequency of
the PWM controller (OUT pin).
The 80% maximum duty cycle limit of the LM5071-80 is
determined by the internal oscillator and varies more than
the 50% limit of the LM5071-50. For the LM5071-80, the
internal oscillator frequency and the operational frequency of
the PWM controller are equal.
Thermal shutdown is not enabled during auxiliary power
operation as the power MOSFET is not running any current
and should not experience an over-temperature condition. If
the drain of the MOSFET exceeds 2.5V with respect to VEE
(internal Power Good de-assertion), PoE UVLO becomes
de-asserted (insertion of PoE or other 48V supply), or the
auxiliary power is removed, thermal limit will be re-enabled
immediately.
