DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4257-1 provides complete signature and power
interface functions for a device operating in an IEEE
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) system. The LTC4257-1
simplifies Powered Device (PD) design by incorporating
the 25k signature resistor, classification current source,
input current limit, undervoltage lockout, thermal over-
load protection, signature disable and power good signal-
ling, all in a single 8-pin package. The LTC4257-1 includes
a precision, dual level current limit circuit. This allows it to
charge large load capacitors and interface with legacy
Power over Ethernet systems while maintaining compat-
ibility with the current IEEE 802.3af specification. By
incorporating a high voltage power MOSFET onboard, the
LTC4257-1 provides the system designer with reduced
cost while also saving board space.
The LTC4257-1 can interface directly with a variety of Lin-
ear Technology DC/DC converter products to provide a cost
effective power solution for IP phones, wireless access
points and other PDs. Linear Technology also provides
network power controllers for Power Sourcing Equipment
(PSE) applications.
The LTC4257-1 is available in the 8-pin SO and low profile
(3mm × 3mm) DFN packages.
