LTC4259A
Quad IEEE 802.3af
Power over Ethernet Controller
with AC Disconnect
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
4259A is a quad –48V Hot Swap
TM
controller
designed for use in IEEE 802.3af compliant Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE). It consists of four independent
ports, each with output current limit, short-circuit protec-
tion, complete Powered Device (PD) detection and classi-
fication capability, and programmable PD disconnect using
AC or DC sensing. Used with power MOSFETs and passives
as in Figure 1, the LTC4259A can implement a complete IEEE
802.3af-compliant PSE.
The LTC4259A can operate autonomously or be controlled
by an I
2
C serial interface. Up to 16 LTC4259As may coexist
on the same data bus, allowing up to 64 powered Ethernet
ports to be controlled with only two digital lines. Fault con-
ditions are optionally signaled with the INT pin to eliminate
software polling.
External power MOSFETs, current sense resistors and di-
odes allow easy scaling of current and power dissipation
levels and provide protection against voltage and current
spikes and ESD events.
The LTC4259A is available in a 36-pin SSOP package.
Linear Technology also provides solutions for 802.3af PD
applications with the LTC4257, LTC4257-1 and LTC4267.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
DGND and AGND should be tied together in normal operation.
Note 3:
An internal clamp limits the GATE pins to a minimum of 12V above
V
EE
. Driving this pin beyond the clamp may damage the part.
Note 4:
When a port powers on or off, the transient voltage on the port
couples through C
DET
(Figure 16). The LTC4259A contains internal
protection circuitry to withstand transient currents of up to 80mA for 5ms.
As long as the absolute value of the current remains below 80mA, the
LTC4259A will keep the voltage at the DETECTn pin within the absolute
maximum voltage range. A properly sized R
DET
should limit the current to
less than 60mA.
Note 5:
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 6:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground (AGND and DGND)
unless otherwise specified.
Note 7:
The LTC4259A is designed to maintain a port voltage of –46.6V to
–57V. The V
EE
supply voltage range accounts for the drop across the
diode, MOSFET and sense resistor.
Note 8:
V
EE
supply current, while classifying a short, is measured
indirectly by measuring the DETECTn pin current while classifying a short.
Note 9:
The LTC4259A implements overload current detection per IEEE
802.3af. The minimum overload current (I
CUT
) is dependent on port
voltage; I
CUT_MIN
= 15.4W/V
PORT_MIN
. An IEEE compliant system using the
LTC4259A should maintain port voltage above –46.6V.
Note 10:
Unless otherwise specified, AC disconnect specifications require
the following conditions: the DETECT pin is connected to the port as
shown in Figure 1, a valid sine wave is applied to OSCIN, the OSCFAIL bit
is cleared and the AC Disconnect Enable bits are set.
Note 11:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 12:
Values measured at V
ILD
and V
IHD
.
Note 13:
If fault occurs during an I
2
C transaction, the INT pin will not be
pulled down until a stop condition is present on the I
2
C bus.
