MAX5969B Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX5969A/MAX5969B
General Description
The MAX5969B evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested surface-mount circuit board featur-
ing an Ethernet port, network powered-device (PD)
interface-controller circuit for IEEE
®
802.3af/at-compliant
power-over-Ethernet (PoE) systems. The EV kit features
the MAX5969B IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant network PD
interface controller IC in a 10-pin TDFN package. The
MAX5969B is used in PoE applications requiring DC
power from an Ethernet network port for PDs such as IP
phones, wireless access nodes, and security cameras.
The EV kit receives power from IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant
power-sourcing equipment (PSE). Refer to the MAX5965
and MAX5971 IC data sheets for PSE controllers. The
PSE provides the required -30V to -57V DC power over
an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet network cable to
the EV kit’s RJ45 magnetic jack. The EV kit features a 1
x 1GbE RJ45 magnetic jack and two diode bridges for
separating the DC power provided by an endspan or
midspan Ethernet system.
The EV kit can also be powered by a wall adapter power
source. The EV kit provides PCB pads to accept the
output of a wall adapter power source. When a wall
adapter power source is detected, it always takes
precedence over the PSE source, allowing the wall
adapter to power the EV kit.
The EV kit demonstrates the full functionality of the
IC, such as PD detection signature, PD classification
signature, in-rush current control, and input under-
voltage lockout (UVLO). The EV kit also provides a
modular RJ45 jack to interface with the Ethernet data
signals only.
The EV kit also features a galvanically isolated 22.7W,
600kHz switching frequency flyback DC-DC converter,
which uses the MAX15000A current-mode PWM con-
troller. The IC’s output provides power for the converter
circuit. The DC-DC converter is configured for an output
voltage of +12V and provides up to 1.9A. High efficiency
up to 89% is achieved using a single transistor flyback
DC-DC converter topology. The surface-mount trans-
former provides up to +1500V galvanic isolation for the
output. UVLO, soft-start, and thermal shutdown provide
a robust 22.7W isolated power supply. The DC-DC
converter operates at 600kHz, allowing the use of small
magnetics and output capacitors. The EV kit can also
evaluate the MAX5969A after IC replacement (U1).
