The LTC®4259A is a quad –48V Hot SwapTM 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 I2C 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.
