Description
The Si3484 is a power manager intended for use with the Si3459 Power over
Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) controllers for power
management of up to 64 ports with three power sources.
The Si3459 is capable of delivering over 30 W per port, which means that, in a 24-
or 48-port system, a very large power supply would have to be used to avoid
overload. Typically, not all ports are used at full power; so, a smaller power supply
can be used along with the Si3484 power management controller.
Use of the Si3484 power manager greatly simplifies system implementation of
power management. The Si3484 power management controller is programmed
via a SPI or UART interface to set the system power supply capacity, the port
power configuration (Type 1: 15.4 W, or high-power Type 2: 30 W) ports, the port
priority, the detection timing (Alternative A or Alternative B), and the fault recovery
protocol. Once programmed, the configuration data can be saved, and the Si3484
can work without host intervention. Port and overall status information is available
and continuously updated.
The Si3484 uses the real-time overload and current monitoring capability of the
Si3459 to manage power shared among up to 64 ports. Power management is
selectable between grant-based or consumption-based algorithms in order to
supply power to the greatest number of ports.
In high-reliability systems, multiple power supplies are often connected to provide
redundancy, which further increases the power supply monitoring requirements.
The Si3484 can manage up to three power supplies automatically, enabling or
disabling ports in priority order.
