DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
4279
is an autonomous single port power sourc-
ing equipment (PSE) controller designed for use in IEEE
802.3at Type 1, Type 2 and LTPoE++ compliant Power
over Ethernet (PoE) systems. The LTC4279 provides fully
autonomous IEEE 802.3 and LTPoE++ compliant operation
without a microcontroller. The LTC4279 simplifies PSE
implementation, requiring only a single supply and a small
number of passive support components.
The LTC4279 delivers lowest-in-industry heat dissipation
by utilizing a low-R
DS(ON)
external MOSFET and a 0.1Ω
sense resistor, eliminating the need for expensive heat
sinks and increasing efficiency.
PD discovery uses a proprietary dual-mode 4-point detec-
tion mechanism ensuring excellent immunity from false
PD detection. Midspan PSEs are supported with physical
layer classification and a 2.5 second backoff timer.
Legacy and custom PDs are supported with pin-selectable
LEGACY and UltraPWR modes. LEGACY mode detects
and powers pre-IEEE specification PDs. UltraPWR mode
aggressively turns on and powers custom PDs requiring
high inrush and/or operational currents.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 140°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative.
Note 4:
The LTC4279 operates with a negative supply voltage (with
respect to AGND). To avoid confusion, voltages in this data sheet are
referred to in terms of absolute magnitude.
