FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Quad PoE/PoE
+
/LTPoE
++
PSE Controller
The LTC
®
4266A is a quad power sourcing equipment (PSE)
controller capable of delivering up to 90W of LTPoE
++
power to a compatible LTPoE
++
powered device (PD). A
proprietary detection/classification scheme allows mutual
identification between a LTPoE
++
PSE and LTPoE
++
PD
while remaining compatible and interoperable with existing
Type 1 (13W) and Type 2 (25.5W) PDs. The LTC4266A
feature set is a superset of the popular LTC4266. These
PSE controllers feature low R
ON
external MOSFETs and
0.25 sense resistors which are especially important at
the LTPoE
++
current levels to maintain the lowest possible
heat dissipation.
The LTC4266C targets fully automatic PSE systems power-
ing Type 1 (up to 13W) PDs.
Advanced power management features include: 14-bit
current monitoring ADCs, DAC-programmable current
limit, and versatile quick shutdown of preselected ports.
Advanced power management host software is available
under a no-cost license. PD discovery uses a proprietary
dual-mode 4-point detection mechanism ensuring excellent
immunity from false PD detection. The LTC4266 includes
an I
2
C serial interface operable up to 1MHz.
The LTC4266 is available in multiple power grades al-
lowing delivered PD power of 13W, 25W, 38.7W, 52.7W,
70W and 90W. These controllers are available in a 38-lead
5mm × 7mm QFN package.
