General Description
The design features the MAX5969B and MAX5974A. The MAX5969B controller is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af/at standard in a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) system. The device can also get power from a wall adapter (WAD). The MAX5974A provides control for wide-input-voltage, ZVS active-clamped, current-mode PWM converters and frequency foldback for PoE applications. Using these devices, this reference design is IEEE 802.3af/at compliant. It is also a high-efficiency and low-EMI solution for a Class 4 PD.
Specifications
