DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®4257 provides complete signature and power
interface functions for a device operating in an IEEE
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) system. The LTC4257
simplifies Powered Device (PD) design by incorporating
the 25k signature resistor, the classification current source,
input current limit with thermal foldback, undervoltage
lockout and power good signalling, all in a single 8-pin
package. By incorporating a high voltage power MOSFET
onboard, the LTC4257 provides the system designer with
reduced cost while also saving board space.
The LTC4257 can interface directly with a variety of Linear
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
solutions for Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) applica-
tions with quad network power controllers.
The LTC4257 is available in the 8-pin SO and low profile
(3mm × 3mm) DFN packages.
