Description
The Si3459 is a fully-programmable, eight-port power management
controller for IEEE 802.3 compliant Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
Designed for use in PSE endpoint (switches), the Si3459 integrates eight
independent ports, each with IEEE-required powered device (PD)
detection and classification functionality. In addition, the Si3459 features a
fully-programmable architecture that enables powered device (PD)
disconnect using a dc sense algorithm, a robust multipoint detection
algorithm, software-configurable per-port current and voltage monitoring,
and programmable current limits to support the IEEE 802.3at standard.
Intelligent protection circuitry includes input undervoltage detection,
output current limit, and short-circuit protection. The Si3459 operates by
host processor control through a three-wire, I
2
C-compatible serial
interface. Independent serial data input and output pins enable high-
voltage isolation through external isolators. An interrupt pin is used to
alert the host processor of various status and fault conditions. The device
also supports pin-programmable AUTO modes for autonomous operation,
without the need for a host processor. The Si3459 also features an on-
chip dc-dc converter for creating the digital voltage rail from the PoE
voltage, thus enabling single-rail power operation.
