3 Description
The TPS2373 contains all of the features needed to
implement an IEEE802.3at or IEEE802.3bt (draft)
(Type 1-4) powered device (PD). The low internal
switch resistance allows the TPS2373-4 and
TPS2373-3 to support high power applications up to
90 W and 60 W respectively. Assuming 100-meter
CAT5 cable, this translates into 71.3 W and 51 W at
PD input.
The TPS2373 operates with enhanced features.
The Advanced Startup function for DC-DC results in a
simple, flexible, and minimal system cost solution,
while ensuring that IEEE802.3bt (draft) startup
requirements are met. It helps to reduce the size of
the low voltage bias capacitor considerably. It also
allows long DC-DC converter soft-start period and
enables the use of a low-voltage PWM controller.
The Automatic MPS function enables applications
requiring very low power standby modes. The
TPS2373 automatically generates the necessary
pulsed current to maintain the PSE power. An
external resistor is used to enable this functionality
and to program the MPS pulsed current amplitude.
