MAX5969C

The MAX5969C/MAX5969E provide a complete interface for a powered device (PD) to comply with the IEEE® 802.3af/at standard in a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) system. The MAX5969C/MAX5969E provide the PD with a detection signature, classification signature, and an integrated isolation power switch with inrush current control. During the inrush period, the MAX5969C/MAX5969E limit 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 devices feature 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 MAX5969C/MAX5969E can withstand up to 100V at the input.

The MAX5969C/MAX5969E support a 2-Event classification method as specified in the IEEE 802.3at standard and provide a signal to indicate when probed by a Type 2 power sourcing equipment (PSE). The devices detect the presence of a wall adapter power source connection and allow a smooth switch over from the PoE power source to the wall power adaptor.

The MAX5969C/MAX5969E also provide a power-good (PG) signal, two-step current limit and foldback, over-temperature protection, and di/dt limit. A sleep mode feature in the MAX5969C/MAX5969E provides low power consumption while supporting Maintain Power Signature (MPS). A green sleep mode feature in the MAX5969C/MAX5969E further reduces power consumption to comply with green power requirements while still supporting MPS. The MAX5969C/MAX5969E also feature an LED driver that is automatically activated during sleep mode or manually activated during normal operation. During sleep mode, the LED driver sources a periodic current (I_LED) at 250Hz (MAX5969C) or 15.625kHz (MAX5969E).

The MAX5969C/MAX5969E are available in a 16-pin, 5mm x 5mm TQFN power package. These devices are rated over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
