4267fc
specifi ed to avoid corrupting the 25kΩ signature resistor
while also saving board space and cost. In addition, the in-
rush current limit requirement of the IEEE 802.3af standard
can cause large transient power dissipation in the PD. The
LTC4267 is designed to allow multiple turn-on sequences
without overheating the miniature 16-lead package. In the
event of excessive power cycling, the LTC4267 provides
thermal overload protection to keep the onboard power
MOSFET within its safe operating area.
OPERATION
The LTC4267 PD interface has several modes of opera-
tion depending on the applied input voltage as shown in
Figure 1 and summarized in Table 1. These modes satisfy
the requirements defi ned in the IEEE 802.3af specifi cation.
The input voltage is applied to the V
PORTN
pin and must
be negative relative to the V
PORTP
pin. Voltages in the data
sheet for the PD interface portion of the LTC4267 are with
respect to V
PORTP
while the voltages for the switching
regulator are referenced to PGND. It is assumed that PGND
is tied to P
OUT
. Note the use of different ground symbols
throughout the data sheet.
