interface functions for a device operating in an IEEE
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) system. The LTC4257-1
simplifies Powered Device (PD) design by incorporating
the 25k signature resistor, classification current source,
input current limit, undervoltage lockout, thermal over-
load protection, signature disable and power good signal-
ling, all in a single 8-pin package. The LTC4257-1 includes
a precision, dual level current limit circuit. This allows it to
charge large load capacitors and interface with legacy
Power over Ethernet systems while maintaining compat-
ibility with the current IEEE 802.3af specification. By
incorporating a high voltage power MOSFET onboard, the
LTC4257-1 provides the system designer with reduced
cost while also saving board space.
The LTC4257-1 can interface directly with a variety of Lin-
ear Technology DC/DC converter products to provide a cost
effective power solution for IP phones, wireless access
points and other PDs. Linear Technology also provides
network power controllers for Power Sourcing Equipment
(PSE) applications.
The LTC4257-1 is available in the 8-pin SO and low profile
(3mm
×
3mm) DFN packages.

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.
Note 2:
All voltages are with respect to GND pin unless otherwise noted.
Note 3:
The LTC4257-1 operates with a negative supply voltage in the
range of –1.5V to –57V. To avoid confusion, voltages in this data sheet are
always 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 4:
The LTC4257-1 is designed to work with two polarity protection
diode drops between the PSE and PD. Parameter ranges specified in the
Electrical Characteristics are with respect to LTC4257-1 pins and are
designed to meet IEEE 802.3af specifications when these diode drops are
included. See Applications Information.
Note 5:
Signature resistance is measured via the 2-point
∆V/∆I
method as
defined by IEEE 802.3af. The LTC4257-1 signature resistance is offset
from 25k to account for diode resistance. With two series diodes, the total
PD resistance will be between 23.75kΩ and 26.25kΩ and meet IEEE
802.3af specifications. The minimum probe voltages measured at the
LTC4257-1 pins are –1.5V and –2.5V. The maximum probe voltages are
–8.5V and –9.5V.
Note 6:
The LTC4257-1 includes hysteresis in the UVLO voltages to
preclude any start-up oscillation. Per IEEE 802.3af requirements, the
LTC4257-1 will power up from a voltage source with 20Ω series
resistance on the first trial.
Note 7:
I
IN_CLASS
does not include classification current programmed at
Pin 2. Total supply current in classification mode will be I
IN_CLASS
+ I
CLASS
(see Note 8).
Note 8:
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
. 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 9:
For the DD package, this parameter is assured by design and
wafer level testing.
Note 10:
To disable the 25k signature, tie SIGDISA to GND (±0.1V) or hold
SIGDISA high with respect to V
IN
. See Applications Information.
Note 11:
I
OUT_LEAK
includes current drawn at the V
OUT
pin by the power
good status circuit. This current is compensated for in the 25kΩ signature
resistance and does not affect PD operation.
Note 12:
The LTC4257-1 includes thermal protection. In the event of an
overtemperature condition, the LTC4257-1 will turn off the power MOSFET
until the part cools below the overtemperature limit. The LTC4257-1 is
also protected against thermal damage from incorrect classification
probing by the PSE. If the LTC4257-1 exceeds the overtemperature trip
point, the classification load current is disabled.
Note 13:
The LTC4257-1 includes dual level input current limit. At turn-on,
before C1 is charged, the LTC4257-1 current level is set to the low level.
After C1 is charged and the V
OUT
– V
IN
voltage difference is below the
power good threshold, the LTC4257-1 switches to high level current limit.
The LTC4257-1 stays in high level current limit until the input voltage
drops below the UVLO turn-off threshold.
Note 14:
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.

is high impedance until the input voltage rises

PWRGD (Pin 6):
Power Good Output, Open-Drain. Signals
to the PD load that the LTC4257-1 MOSFET is on and that
the PD’s DC/DC converter can start operation. Low imped-

SIGDISA (Pin 7):
Signature Disable Input. Allows the PD
to command the LTC4257-1 to present an invalid signa-
ture resistance and to remain inactive. Connecting SIGDISA
to GND lowers the signature resistance to an invalid value
and disables all functions of the LTC4257-1. If left floating,
