The LTC4290/LTC4271 chipset is an 8-port power sourcing equipment (PSE) controller designed for use in IEEE 802.3at Type 1 and Type 2 (high power) compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. Transformer-isolated communication protocol replaces expensive opto-couplers and complex isolated 3.3V supply resulting in significant BOM cost savings. The LTC4290/LTC4271 chipset delivers lowest-in-industry heat dissipation by utilizing low-RDS(ON) external MOSFETs and 0.25Ω sense resistors.

Advanced power management features include per-port 12-bit current monitoring ADCs, DAC-programmable current limit, and versatile fast shut-down of preselected ports. Advanced power management host software is available under a no-cost license. PD discovery uses a proprietary dual-mode 4-point detection mechanism ensuring excellent immunity from false PD detection. Midspan PSEs are supported with 2-event classification and a 2 second backoff timer. The LTC4290/LTC4271 includes an I2C serial interface operable up to 1MHz.

The LTC4290/LTC4271 is available in multiple power grades allowing delivered PD power up to 90W.

DC1843B

LTC4290B/LTC4271: (DC1680 + DC1842) 8-Port 25.5W Demo Kit (requires DC590)

Product Details

Demonstration kit DC1843B is an 8-port Ethernet Alliance certified IEEE 802.3at Type 2 power sourcing equipment (PSE) composed of a DC1842B daughter card and DC1680B motherboard. The kit is used for evaluation of the LTC4290B and LTC4271 PSE chipset. Up to 8 powered devices (PDs) can be connected and powered from this system using a single power supply. A DC590 is connected to the DC1843 for I2C interfacing with QuikEval. This demonstration manual provides a Quick Start Procedure, a DC1842B overview, a DC1680B overview, schematics, and layout printouts. Refer to the Layout Guide for Demonstration Circuit 1842B when laying out the LTC4290B/LTC4271 circuit. Contact Analog Devices for this document.

The DC1842B has increased surge protection over the DC1842A. The DC1680B uses discrete Ethernet transformers while the DC1680A has an integrated 12-port RJ45 jack.
