LTC4266
Quad IEEE 802.3at Power
over Ethernet Controller
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4266 is a quad PSE controller designed for use in
IEEE 802.3 Type 1 and Type 2 (high power) compliant Power
over Ethernet systems. External power MOSFETs enhance
system reliability and minimize channel resistance, cutting
power dissipation and eliminating the need for heatsinks
even at Type 2 power levels. External power components
also allow use at very high power levels while remaining
otherwise compatible with the IEEE standard. 80V-rated
port pins provide robust protection against external faults.
The LTC4266 includes advanced power management
features, including current and voltage readback and pro-
grammable ICUT and ILIM thresholds. Available C libraries
simplify power-management software development; an
optional AUTO pin mode provides fully IEEE-compliant
standalone operation with no software required. Proprietary
4-point PD detection circuitry minimizes false PD detec-
tion while supporting legacy phone operation. Midspan
operation is supported with built-in 2-event classification
and backoff timing. Host communication is via a 1MHz
I2C serial interface.
The LTC4266 is available in a 5mm × 7mm QFN package
that significantly reduces board space compared with
competing solutions. A legacy-compatible 36-pin SSOP
package is also available.
