Description
The Si3460 is a single-port, –48 V power management controller for
IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Designed
to minimize system cost and ease implementation in embedded PSE
endpoint (switches) or midspan (power injector) applications, the
Si3460 operates directly from a 12 or 15 V input supply and integrates
a digital PWM-based dc-dc converter for generating the –48 V PSE
output supply. The IEEE-required Powered Device (PD) detection
feature uses a robust 3-point algorithm to avoid false detection events.
The Si3460's reference design kit also provides full IEEE-compliant
classification and PD disconnect. Intelligent protection circuitry
includes input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), classification-based
current limiting, and output short-circuit protection. The Si3460 is
designed to operate completely independently of host processor
control. An LED status signal is provided to indicate the port status,
including detect, power good, and output fault event information for
use within the host system. The Si3460 is pin-programmable to
support endpoint and midspan applications as well as each of the
different classification power levels specified by the IEEE 802.3af
standard. A comprehensive reference design kit is available (Si3460-
EVB), including a complete schematic and BOM (Bill-of-Materials) for
the dc-dc converter and PSE functions.
