Using an LTC4267-1 for the power and signature inter-
face functions of a PD provides several advantages. The
LTC4267-1 current limit circuit includes an onboard 100V
power MOSFET. This low leakage MOSFET is specified to
avoid corrupting the 25k signature resistor while also sav-
ing board space and cost. In addition, the inrush current
limit requirement of the IEEE 802.3af standard can cause
large transient power dissipation in the PD. The LTC4267-1
is designed to allow multiple turn-on sequences without
overheating the miniature 16-lead package. In the event of
excessive power cycling, the LTC4267-1 provides thermal
overload protection to keep the onboard power MOSFET
within its safe operating area.
OPERATION
The LTC4267-1 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 defined in the IEEE 802.3af specification.
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 LTC4267-1 are
with respect to V
PORTP
while the voltages for the switch-
ing 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.
