Application note
Power over Ethernet - PD converter with 12 V 1 A output,
standard IEEE 802.3af compliant
By Antonio Rotta
Introduction
This document focuses on a reference design for a simple, low cost 12 V 1 A flyback
converter based on the PM8800A device.
The PM8800A is a highly integrated device embedding an IEEE 802.3af compliant
“Powered Device” (PD) interface together with a PWM controller.
It can be successfully used in all low power, low cost PoE applications.

This document details the characteristics and performances of the PM8800A demonstration
kit STEVAL-TSP003V2 which has been designed to cover a broad range of power over
Ethernet (PoE) applications.
The PM8800A is a highly integrated device embedding an IEEE 802.3af compliant powered
device (PD) interface together with a PWM controller and support for auxiliary sources.
Even though the PM8800A can be configured to work in both isolated and non-isolated
topologies, single or double output; this application note focuses on a low cost isolated
flyback converter topology with diode rectification, 12 V output voltage with up to 1 A output
current capability.
Auxiliary sources can be connected to the board on 2 input connectors. One input (AUX II)
allows prevalence of the auxiliary sources with respect to the PoE, while the other input
(AUX I) allows the usage of a wall adaptor with voltage lower than the internal PoE UVLO
threshold and still benefits from the inherent inrush and DC current limit.
The above mentioned configurations are all supported by the PM8800 demonstration kit as
options on the same PCB. The bill of material (BOM) in
Table 3
provides the list of
components to be mounted to obtain a 12 V at 1 A demonstration board.
