DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
4290/LTC4271
chipset is an 8-port power sourc-
ing equipment (PSE) controller designed for use in IEEE
802.3at Type 1 and Type 2 (high power) compliant Power
over Ethernet (PoE) systems. Transformer-isolated com-
munication protocol replaces expensive opto-couplers
and complex isolated 3.3V supply resulting in significant
BOM cost savings. The LTC4290/LTC4271 chipset delivers
lowest-in-industry heat dissipation by utilizing low-R
DS(ON)
external MOSFETs and 0.25Ω sense resistors.
Advanced power management features include per-port
12-bit current monitoring ADCs, DAC-programmable cur-
rent limit, and versatile fast shut-down of preselected ports.
Advanced power management host software is available
under a no-cost license. PD discovery uses a proprietary
dual-mode 4-point detection mechanism ensuring excel-
lent immunity from false PD detection. Midspan PSEs
are supported with 2-event classification and a 2 second
backoff timer. The LTC4290/LTC4271 includes an I
2
C
serial interface operable up to 1MHz.
The LTC4290/LTC4271 is available in multiple power
grades allowing delivered PD power up to 90W.
