MAX5940A/MAX5940B/MAX5940C/MAX5940D
The MAX5940A/MAX5940B/MAX5940C/MAX5940D pro-
vide complete interface function for a powered device
(PD) to comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard in a
power-over-ethernet system. MAX5940A/MAX5940B/
MAX5940C/MAX5940D provide the PD with a detection
signature, a classification signature, and an integrated
isolation switch with programmable inrush current control.
These devices also feature power-mode undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) with wide hysteresis and power-
good outputs. The MAX5940A/MAX5940B are available
with an absolute maximum rating of 80V and the
MAX5940C/MAX5940D are rated for an absolute maxi-
mum rating of 90V.
An integrated MOSFET provides PD isolation during
detection and classification. All devices guarantee a leak-
age current offset of less than 10µA during the detection
phase. A programmable current limit prevents high inrush
current during power-on. The device features power-
mode UVLO with wide hysteresis and long deglitch time
to compensate for twisted-pair cable resistive drop and to
assure glitch-free transition between detection, classifica-
tion, and power-on/-off phases.
The MAX5940A/MAX5940C provide an active-high
(PGOOD) open-drain output and a fixed UVLO threshold.
The MAX5940B/MAX5940D provide both active-high
(PGOOD) and active-low (PGOOD) outputs and have an
adjustable UVLO threshold with the default value compli-
ant to the 802.3af standard. All devices are designed to
work with or without an external diode bridge.
The MAX5940A/MAX5940B/MAX5940C/MAX5940D are
available in 8-pin SO packages and are rated over the
extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
All min/max limits are production tested at +85°C. Limits at +25°C and -40°C are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
The input offset current is illustrated in Figure 1.
Note 3:
Effective differential input resistance is defined as the differential resistance between GND and V
EE
without any external
resistance. See Figure 1.
Note 4:
Classification current is turned off whenever the IC is in power mode.
Note 5:
See Table 2 in the
PD Classification Mode
section. R
DISC
and R
CL
must be ±1%, 100ppm or better. I
CLASS
includes the IC
bias current and the current drawn by R
DISC
.
Note 6:
See the
Thermal Dissipation
section for details.
Note 7:
When UVLO is connected to the midpoint of an external resistor-divider with a series resistance of 25.5kΩ (±1%), the turn-
on threshold set-point for the power mode is defined by the external resistor-divider. Make sure the voltage on the UVLO
pin does not exceed its maximum rating of 8V when V
IN
is at the maximum voltage (MAX5940B only).
Note 8:
When the UVLO input voltage is below V
TH,G,UVLO,
the MAX5940B sets the UVLO threshold internally.
Note 9:
An input voltage or V
UVLO
glitch below their respective thresholds shorter than or equal to t
OFF_DLY
does not cause the
MAX5940A/MAX5940B/MAX5940C/MAX5940D to exit power-on mode (as long as the input voltage remains above an opera-
ble voltage level of 12V).
Note 10:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 11:
