The PD must be able to handle power received in either
polarity. For this reason, it is common to install diode
bridges between the RJ45 connector and the LTC4268-1
(Figure 3). The diode bridges introduce an offset that
affects the threshold points for each range of operation.
The LTC4268-1 meets the IEEE 802.3af-defined operating
modes by compensating for the diode drops in the threshold
points. For the signature, classification, and the UVLO
thresholds, the LTC4268-1 extends two diode drops below
the IEEE 802.3af specifications. The LTC4268-1 threshold
points support the use of either traditional or Schottky
diode bridges.

DETECTION
During detection, the PSE will apply a voltage in the range
of –2.8V to –10V on the cable and look for a 25k signature
resistor. This identifies the device at the end of the cable
as a PD. With the PSE voltage in the detection range, the
LTC4268-1 presents an internal 25k resistor between the
V
PORTP
and V
PORTN
pins. This precision, temperature-
compensated resistor provides the proper characteristics
to alert the PSE that a PD is present and requests power
to be applied.
