LTC4259A
Quad IEEE 802.3af
Power over Ethernet Controller
with AC Disconnect
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
廬
4259A is a quad 鈥?8V Hot Swap
TM
controller
designed for use in IEEE 802.3af compliant Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE). It consists of four independent
ports, each with output current limit, short-circuit protec-
tion, complete Powered Device (PD) detection and classi-
fication capability, and programmable PD disconnect using
AC or DC sensing. Used with power MOSFETs and passives
as in Figure 1, the LTC4259A can implement a complete IEEE
802.3af-compliant PSE.
The LTC4259A can operate autonomously or be controlled
by an I
2
C serial interface. Up to 16 LTC4259As may coexist
on the same data bus, allowing up to 64 powered Ethernet
ports to be controlled with only two digital lines. Fault con-
ditions are optionally signaled with the INT pin to eliminate
software polling.
External power MOSFETs, current sense resistors and di-
odes allow easy scaling of current and power dissipation
levels and provide protection against voltage and current
spikes and ESD events.
The LTC4259A is available in a 36-pin SSOP package.
Linear Technology also provides solutions for 802.3af PD
applications with the LTC4257 and LTC4257-1.
