IEEE 802.3af/at-Compliant, Powered Device Interface
Controllers with Integrated Power MOSFET
General Description
The MAX5981 provides a com­plete interface for a pow-
ered device (PD) to comply with the IEEE^® 802.3af/at
standard in a power-over-ethernet (PoE) system. The
MAX5981 provides the PD with a detection signature,
classifica­tion signature, and an integrated isolation
power switch with inrush current control. During the
inrush period, the MAX5981 limits the current to less
than 180mA before switching to the higher curr­ent limit
(720mA to 880mA) when the isolation power MOSFET is
fully enhanced. The device features an input UVLO with
wide hysteresis and long deglitch time to compensate for
twisted-pair cable resistive drop and to assure glitch-free
transition during power-on/-off condi­tions. The MAX5981
can with­stand up to 100V at the input.
The MAX5981 supports a 2-Event classification method
as specified in the IEEE 802.3at standard and provides a
signal to indicate when probed by a Type 2 power sourc-
ing equipment (PSE). The device detects the presence
of a wall adapter power source connection and allows
a smooth switch over from the PoE power source to the
wall power adapter.
The MAX5981 also provides a power-good (PG) signal,
two-step current limit and fold­back, overtemperature
protection, and di/dt limit. A sleep mode feature in
the MAX5981 provides low power consumption while
supporting Maintain Power Signature (MPS). An ultra-
low-power sleep mode feature in the MAX5981 further
reduces power consump­tion while still supporting MPS.
The MAX5981 also features an LED driver that is auto-
matically activated during sleep mode. During sleep
mode, the LED driver sources a peri­odic current (ILED) at
250Hz (MAX5981A) or 15.625kHz (MAX5981B).
The MAX5981 is available in a 16-pin, 5mm x 5mm TQFN
power package. The device is rated over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.
