The LTC4292/LTC4291 chipset is a 4-port power sourcing equipment (PSE) controller designed for use in IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and 4 compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. The LTC4292/LTC4291 is designed to power compliant 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt PDs. The LTC4292/LTC4291 chipset delivers lowest-in-industry heat dissipation by utilizing low-RDS(ON) external MOSFETs and 0.15Ω sense resistance per power channel. A transformer-isolated communication protocol replaces expensive opto-couplers and complex isolated 3.3V supply, resulting in significant BOM cost savings.
Advanced power management features include perport 14-bit current monitoring, programmable current limit, and versatile fast shut-down of preselected ports. Advanced power management host software is available under a no-cost license. PD detection uses a proprietary multipoint detection mechanism ensuring excellent immunity from false PD identification. Autoclass and 5-event physical classification are supported. The LTC4292/LTC4291 includes an I2C serial interface operable up to 1MHz. The LTC4292/LTC4291 is pin or I2C programmable to negotiate PD delivered power up to 71.3W.
