This reference design integrates a high power standard PoE-PD interface compliant with the third generation IEEE 802.3bt PoE standard, able to support applications up to 100 W.
The PoE-PD interface is based on the PM8805 system in package featuring two embedded active bridges with driving circuitry, a charge pump to drive the high side MOSFETs, a hot swap MOSFET and a standard single-signature interface compliant with IEEE 802.3bt, including detection, classification, UVLO and inrush current limitation.
The device implements IEEE 802.3bt physical layer classification schemes to signal successful PSE type identification to the system: it identifies a 4-pair PSE by monitoring the Ethernet cable pairs and providing the system with a dedicated matrix of Tx signals.
The PM8805 is suitable for building the interface for PoE switch mode power supplies for maximum conversion efficiency, with a PGD signal that can be used to enable downstream DC-DC converters or LED drivers with suitable electrical parameters.
