Si3406x Family Data Sheet
Fully-Integrated IEEE 802.3-Compliant POE+ PD Interface and
High-Efficiency Switching Regulators with Transistor Bypass,
Sleep, Wake, and LED Drive
The Si3406x family integrates all power management and control functions required in
a Power-over-Ethernet Plus (PoE+) powered device (PD) application. These devices
convert the high voltage supplied over the 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connection to
a regulated, low-voltage output supply. The optimized architecture of this device family
minimizes the solution footprint and external BOM cost and enables the use of low-cost
external components while maintaining high performance. The Si3406x family integra-
tes the required diode bridges and transient surge suppressor, thus enabling direct
connection of the IC to the Ethernet RJ-45 connector. The switching power FET and all
associated functions are also integrated. The integrated, current mode controlled
switching regulator supports isolated or non-isolated flyback and buck converter topolo-
gies. The switching frequency for the regulator is tunable with a simple external resistor
value to help avoid unwanted harmonics for better emissions control. A synchronous
driver is provided to optionally drive a secondary side FET to improve efficiency of pow-
er conversion. Connection to the PSE switch is maintained during sleep by an optional
automated maintain-power-signature (MPS) signal.
These devices fully support the IEEE 802.3at specification for the cases of single or
two event classification. Standard external resistors provide the proper IEEE 802.3 sig-
natures for the detection function and programming of the classification mode, and in-
ternal startup circuits ensure well-controlled soft-start initial operation of both the hots-
wap switch and the voltage regulator.
The Si34061 and Si34062 add main transformer bias winding support for ultra-high-effi-
ciency operation.
The Si34061 includes support for external augmentation or full bypass of the internal
hotswap and/or switching FET for best power handling and thermal management at the
high end of Class 4, plus offers a further boost in power conversion efficiency when
needed.
The Si34062 includes support for sleep modes with wake function, as well as LED drive
capability. These features can be utilized to minimize standby current, control sleep
and wake states, and provide application status information using a solid or blinking
LED.
The Si3406 is available in a low-profile, 20-pin, 5 x 5 mm QFN package, and the
Si34061 and Si34062 are available in low-profile, 24-pin, 5 x 5 mm QFN packages.

2.2 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Line-Side Interface
The PoE line interface consists of diode bridges, internal surge protection, and the protocol interface support for detection and classifi-
cation.
Internal diode bridge maximum current is given by the specification, I
RECT
. If the application needs to consume more current from the
power interface, an external diode bridge has to be used. The external bridge should be connected in parallel to the internal bridge and
the designer must ensure that the internal bridge will not conduct significant current by using low-voltage-drop external diodes.
The chip features active protection against surge transients and accidentally applied telephony voltages.
2.2.1 Surge Protection
The surge protection circuit is activated if the VPOS-VNEG voltage exceeds T
PROT
and
the hotswap switch is off (dc-dc is not pow-
ered). If the hotswap switch is on, the surge power is sunk in the dcdc’s capacitance.
The internal surge protection can be overridden with an external TVS if higher than specified surge conditions need be tolerated. The
external surge device must be connected in parallel to the internal one; therefore, the designer must ensure that the external surge
protection will activate prior to the internal surge protection.
2.2.2 Telephony Protection
The Si3406x provides protection against telephony ringing voltage. The telephony ringing is much longer than the surge pulse but it has
less energy, therefore, the Si3406x has a switch parallel with the supply (VPOS and VNEG). When the protection circuit is activated, it
turns ON the telephony switch; the ringing energy then dissipates on this switch and ringing generator resistance (> 400 Ω).
