External MOSFET
Careful selection of the power MOSFET is critical to system
reliability. LT C recommends either Fairchild IRFM120A,
FDT3612, FDMC3612 or Philips PHT6NQ10T for their
proven reliability in Type 1 and Type 2 PSE applications.
SOA curves are not a reliable specification for MOSFET
selection. Contact LT C Applications before using a MOSFET
other than one of these recommended parts.
Sense Resistor
The LTC4270/LTC4271 is designed
to use 0.25Ω current
sense resistors to reduce power dissipation. Four com-
monly available 1Ω resistors (sized according to power
dissipation) can be used in parallel in place of a single

0.25Ω resistor. In order to meet the I
CUT
and I
LIM
accuracy
required by the IEEE specification, the sense resistors
should have ±1% tolerance or better, and no more than
±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient
. In addition, the sense
resistors must meet strict layout guidelines.
Port Output Cap
Each port requires a 0.22μF cap across its outputs to keep
the LTC4270 stable while in current limit during startup
or overload. Common ceramic capacitors often have sig-
nificant voltage coefficients; this means the capacitance is
reduced as the applied voltage increases. To minimize this
problem, X7R ceramic capacitors rated for at least
100V
are recommended and must be located close to the PSE.
