controller and switching regulator intended for IEEE 802.3af
and high power PoE applications up to 35W. By including
a precision dual current limit, the LTC4268-1 keeps inrush
below IEEE 802.3af current limit levels to ensure interop-
erability success while enabling high power applications
with a 750mA operational current limit.
The LTC4268-1 synchronous, current-mode, flyback
controller generates multiple supply rails in a single
conversion providing for the highest system efficiency
while maintaining tight regulation across all outputs. The
LTC4268-1 includes Linear Technology’s patented No-Opto
feedback topology to provide full IEEE 802.3af isolation
without the need of opto-isolator circuitry.
The oversized power path and high performance flyback
controller of the LTC4268-1 combine to make the ultimate
solution for power hungry PoE applications such as WAPs,
PTZ security cameras, RFID readers and ultra-efficient
802.3af applications running near the 12.95W limit.
The LTC4268-1 is available in a space saving 32-pin DFN
package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.

All voltages are with respect to V
PORTP
pin unless otherwise noted.
Note 3:
Active High PWRGD internal clamp circuit self-regulates to 14V
with respect to V
NEG
. V
CC
has internal 20V clamp with respect to GND.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 5:

and power

according to the formula:
T
J

• 49°C/W)
Note 6:
The LTC4268-1 operates with a negative supply voltage in the
range of –1.5V to –57V. To avoid confusion, voltages in this data sheet
are referred to in terms of absolute magnitude. Terms such as “maximum
negative voltage” refer to the largest negative voltage and a “rising
negative voltage” refers to a voltage that is becoming more negative.
Note 7:
In IEEE 802.3af systems, the maximum voltage at the PD jack is
defined to be –57V.
Note 8:
The LTC4268-1 is designed to work with two polarity protection
diodes in series with the input. Parameter ranges specified in the Electrical
Characteristics are with respect to LTC4268-1 pins and are designed to
meet IEEE 802.3af specifications when the drop from the two diodes is
included. See Applications Information.
Note 9:
Signature resistance is measured via the two-point
DV/DI
method
as defined by IEEE 802.3af. The LTC4268-1 signature resistance is offset
from 25k to account for diode resistance. With two series diodes, the total
PD resistance will be between 23.75k and 26.25k and meet IEEE 802.3af
specifications. The minimum probe voltages measured at the LTC4268-1
pins are –1.5V and –2.5V. The maximum probe voltages are –9.1V and
–10.1V.
Note 10:
The LTC4268-1 includes hysteresis in the UVLO voltages to
preclude any start-up oscillation. Per IEEE 802.3af requirements, the
LTC4268-1 will power up from a voltage source with 20Ω series resistance
on the first trial.
Note 11:
Supply current does not include gate charge current to the
MOSFETs. See Application Information.
Note 12:
To disable the 25k signature, tie SHDN to V
PORTP
(±0.1V) or hold
SHDN high with respect to V
IN
. See Applications Information.
Note13:
I
LIM_EN
pin is pulled high internally and for normal operation
should be left floating. To disable current limit, tie I
LIM_EN
to V
IN
. See
Applications Information.
Note 14:
I
IN_CLASS
does not include classification current programmed at
Pin 3. Total supply current in classification mode will be I
IN_CLASS
+ I
CLASS
(See Note 15).
Note 15:
I
CLASS
is the measured current flowing through R
CLASS
. ∆I
CLASS
accuracy is with respect to the ideal current defined as I
CLASS
= 1.237/
R
CLASS
. T
CLASSRDY
is the time for I
CLASS
to settle to within ±3.5% of ideal.
The current accuracy specification does not include variations in R
CLASS
resistance. The total classification current for a PD also includes the IC
quiescent current (I
IN_CLASS
). See Applications Information.
Note 16:
This parameter is assured by design and wafer level testing.
Note 17:
Active high power good is referenced to V
NEG
and is valid for
V
PORTP
– V
NEG
≥ 4V.
Note 18:
The LTC4268-1 includes a dual current limit. At turn on, before
C1 is charged, the LTC4268-1 current level is set to I
LIMIT_LOW
. After C1 is
charged and with I
LIM_EN
floating, the LTC4268-1 switches to I
LIMIT_HIGH
.
With I
LIM_EN
pin tied low, the LTC4268-1 switches to I
LIMIT_DISA
. The
LTC4268-1 stays in I
LIMIT_HIGH
or I
LIMIT_DISA
until the input voltage drops
below the UVLO turn-off threshold or a thermal overload occurs.
Note 19:
The LTC4268-1 features thermal overload protection. In the event
of an over temperature condition, the LTC4268-1 will turn off the power
MOSFET, disable the classification load current, and present an invalid
power good signal. Once the LTC4268-1 cools below the over temperature
limit, the LTC4268-1 current limit switches to I
LIMIT_LOW
and normal
operation resumes.
Note 20:
I
LIMIT_DISA
is a safeguard current limit that is activated when the
normal input current limit (I
LIMIT_HIGH
) is defeated using the I
LIM_EN
pin.
Currents at or near I
LIMIT_DISA
will cause significant package heating and
may require a reduced maximum ambient operating temperature in order
to avoid tripping the thermal overload protection.
