temperature will exceed 140°C when overtemperature protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction  
temperature may impair device reliability.  
Note 3: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device  
pins are negative.  
Note 4: The LTC4266A/LTC4266C operates with a negative supply voltage  
(with respect to ground). To avoid confusion, voltages in this data sheet  
are referred to in terms of absolute magnitude.  
Note 6: The LTC4266A/LTC4266C digital interface operates with respect to  
DGND. All logic levels are measured with respect to DGND.  
Note 7: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.  
Note 8: The IEEE 802.3af specification allows a PD to present its  
Maintain Power Signature (MPS) on an intermittent basis without being  
disconnected. In order to stay powered, the PD must present the MPS for  
t
within any t  
time window.

OPERATION  
Overview  
LTC4266 Product Family  
The LTC4266 is a third-generation quad PSE controller  
that implements four PSE ports in either an end-point or  
midspandesign.Virtuallyallnecessarycircuitryisincluded  
to implement an IEEE 802.3at compliant PSE design,  
requiringonlyanexternalpowerMOSFETandsenseresis-  
tor per channel; these minimize power loss compared to  
alternative designs with on-board MOSFETs and increase  
system reliability in the event a single channel fails.  
Power over Ethernet, or PoE, is a standard protocol for  
sending DC power over copper Ethernet data wiring.  
The IEEE group that administers the 802.3 Ethernet data  
standards added PoE powering capability in 2003. This  
original PoE spec, known as 802.3af, allowed for 48V DC  
power at up to 13W. This initial spec was widely popular,  
but 13W was not adequate for some requirements. In  
2009, the IEEE released a new standard, known as 802.3at  
+
or PoE , increasing the voltage and current requirements  
The LTC4266 comes in three grades which support dif-  
ferent PD power levels.  
to provide 25W of power.  
The IEEE standard also defines PoE terminology. A device  
that provides power to the network is known as a PSE, or

The B-grade LTC4266 is a fully IEEE-compliant Type 2

PoE Evolution

Even during the process of creating the IEEE PoE 25.5W  
specification, it became clear that there was a significant  
and increasing need for more than 25.5W of delivered  
power. The LTC4266A family responds to this market by  
allowing a reliable means of providing up to 90W of deliv-

the C-grade chipset autonomously supports detection,

PSE, 2-event classification is prohibited and Class 4 PDs  
are automatically treated as Class 0 PDs.

To avoid damaging legacy data equipment that does not  
expect to see DC voltage, the PoE spec defines a protocol  
that determines when the PSE may apply and remove  
power. Valid PDs are required to have a specific 25k  
common-mode resistance at their input. When such a PD  
is connected to the cable, the PSE detects this signature  
resistance and turns on the power. When the PD is later  
disconnected, the PSE senses the open circuit and turns  
power off. The PSE also turns off power in the event of a  
current fault or short-circuit.  
New in 802.3at  
Thenewer802.3atstandardsupersedes802.3afandbrings  
several new features:  
• A PD may draw as much as 25.5W. Such PDs (and the  
PSEs that support them) are known as Type 2. Older  
13W 802.3af equipment is classified as Type 1. Type 1  
PDs will work with all PSEs; Type 2 PDs may require  
Type2PSEstoworkproperly.TheLTC4266A/LTC4266C  
is designed to work in both Type 1 and Type 2 PSE de-  
signs, and also supports non-standard configurations  
at higher power levels.  
When a PD is detected, the PSE optionally looks for a  
classification signature that tells the PSE the maximum  
power the PD will draw. The PSE can use this information  
to allocate power among several ports, police the current  
consumption of the PD, or to reject a PD that will draw  
more power that the PSE has available. For a 802.3af PSE,  
the classification step is optional; if a PSE chooses not to  
classify a PD, it must assume that the PD is a 13W (full  
802.3af power) device.  
• The Classification protocol is expanded to allow Type 2  
PSEs to detect Type 2 PDs, and to allow Type 2 PDs to  
determine if they are connected to a Type 2 PSE. Two  
versions of the new Classification protocol are avail-  
able: an expanded version of the 802.3af Class Pulse  
protocol, and an alternate method integrated with the  
existing LLDP protocol (using the Ethernet data path).  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C fully supports the new Class  
Pulse protocol and is also compatible with the LLDP  
protocol(whichisimplementedinthedatacommunica-  
tions layer, not in the PoE circuitry).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The IEEE specification requires that a valid PD have a  
common-mode resistance of 25k 5% at any port volt-  
age below 10V. The PSE must accept resistances that fall  
between 19k and 26.5k, and it must reject resistances  
above 33k or below 15k (shaded regions in Figure 11).  
The PSE may choose to accept or reject resistances in  
the undefined areas between the must-accept and must-  
reject ranges. In particular, the PSE must reject standard  
computer network ports, many of which have 150Ω  
common-mode termination resistors that will be dam-  
aged if power is applied to them (the black region at the  
left of Figure 11).  
PD signature resistances between 17k and 29k (typically)  
are detected as valid and reported as Detect Good in the  
corresponding Port Status register. Values outside this  
range,includingopenandshort-circuits,arealsoreported.

Proprietary PDs that predate the original IEEE 802.3af  
standard are commonly referred to today as legacy de-  
vices. One type of legacy PD uses a large common-mode  
capacitance (>10μF) as the detection signature. Note that  
PDs in this range of capacitance are defined as invalid, so  
a PSE that detects legacy PDs is technically noncompliant  
with the IEEE spec.

The LTC4266A/LTC4266C can be configured to detect  
this type of legacy PD. Legacy detection is disabled by  
default, but can be manually enabled on a per-port basis.  
When enabled, the port will report Detect Good when it  
sees either a valid IEEE PD or a high-capacitance legacy  
PD. With legacy mode disabled, only valid IEEE PDs will  
be recognized.  
If classification is enabled, the port will classify the PD  
immediatelyafterasuccessfuldetectioncycleinsemi-auto  
or AUTO pin modes, or when commanded to in manual  
mode. It measures the PD classification signature by ap-  
plying 18V for 12ms (both values typical) to the port via  
the OUTn pin and measuring the resulting current; it then  
reports the discovered class in the Port Status register.

Foldback  
LIM  
LTC4266A/LTC4266C PSE ports are designed to tolerate  
significant levels of abuse, but in extreme cases it is pos-  
sible for the external MOSFET to be damaged. A failed  
MOSFET may short source to drain, which will make the  
port appear to be on when it should be off; this condition  
may also cause the sense resistor to fuse open, turning  
off the port but causing the LTC4266A/LTC4266C SENSE  
pin to rise to an abnormally high voltage. A failed MOSFET  
4266acfd  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C features a two-stage foldback  
circuit that reduces the port current if the port voltage falls  
below the normal operating voltage. This keeps MOSFET  
power dissipation at safe levels for typical 802.3af MOS-  
FETs, even at extended 802.3at power levels. Current  
limit and foldback behavior are programmable on a per-  
port basis. Table 6 gives examples of recommended I  
register settings.

may also short from gate to drain, causing the LTC4266A/

The LTC4266A/LTC4266C OUT, SENSE and GATE pins  
are designed to tolerate up to 80V faults without damage.  
Enable bits. Note that this defeats the protection mecha-  
nisms built into the IEEE spec, since a powered port will  
stay powered after the PD is removed. If the still-powered  
port is subsequently connected to a non-PoE data device,  
the device may be damaged.  
If the LTC4266A/LTC4266C sees any of these conditions  
for more than 180μs, it disables all port functionality,  
reduces the gate drive pull-down current for the port and  
reports a FET Bad fault. This is typically a permanent fault,  
but the host can attempt to recover by resetting the port,  
or by resetting the entire chip if a port reset fails to clear  
the fault. If the MOSFET is in fact bad, the fault will quickly  
return, and the port will disable itself again. The remaining  
ports of the LTC4266A/LTC4266C are unaffected.

circuitry, but includes AC Disconnect Enable bits to main-

Shutdown Pins  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C includes a hardware SHDN pin  
for each port. When a SHDN pin is pulled to DGND, the  
corresponding port will be shut off immediately. The port

attempts to turn on the port.  
Masked Shutdown  
Voltage and Current Readback  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C provides a low latency port  
shedding feature to quickly reduce the system load when  
required. By allowing a pre-determined set of ports to  
be turned off, the current on an overloaded main power  
supply can be reduced rapidly while keeping high priority  
devices powered. Each port can be configured to high or  
low priority; all low-priority ports will shut down within  
6.5μs after the MSD pin is pulled low. If multiple ports in  
a LTC4266A/LTC4266C device are shut down via MSD,  
they are staggered by at least 0.55μs to help reduce volt-  
age transients on the main supply. If a port is turned off  
via MSD, the corresponding Detection and Classification  
Enable bits are cleared, so the port will remain off until  
the host explicitly re-enables detection.  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C measures the output voltage  
and current at each port with an internal A/D converter.  
Port data is only valid when the port power is on. The  
converter has two modes:  
• Slow mode: 14 samples per second, 14.5 bits resolution  
• Fast mode: 440 samples per second, 9.5 bits resolution  
In fast mode, the least significant 5 bits of the lower byte  
are zeroes so that bit scaling is the same in both modes.  
Disconnect  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C monitors the port to make  
sure that the PD continues to draw the minimum speci-  
fied current. A disconnect timer counts up whenever port  
current is below 7.5mA (typ), indicating that the PD has

LTC4266C chip.  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C’s primary serial bus address  
is 010xxxxb, with the lower four bits set by the AD3-AD0  
pins; this allows up to 16 LTC4266A/LTC4266Cs on a  
single bus. All LTC4266A/LTC4266Cs also respond to  
the address 0110000b, allowing the host to write the  
same command (typically configuration commands) to  
multiple LTC4266A/LTC4266Cs in a single transaction. If  
the LTC4266A/LTC4266C is asserting the INT pin, it will  
also respond to the alert response address (0001100b)  
per the SMBus spec.

reliability. LTC recommends either Fairchild IRFM120A,  
FDT3612, FDMC3612 or Philips PHT6NQ10T for their  
proven reliability in Type 1 and Type 2 PSE applications.  
Non-standard applications that provide more current than  
the 850mA IEEE maximum may require heat sinking and  
other MOSFET design considerations. Contact LTC Ap-  
plications before using a MOSFET other than one of these  
recommended parts.  
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specifications require that network  
segments (including PoE circuitry) be electrically isolated  
from the chassis ground of each network interface de-  
vice. However, network segments are not required to be  
isolated from each other, provided that the segments are  
connected to devices residing within a single building on  
a single power distribution system.  
For simple devices such as small PoE switches, the isola-  
tion requirement can be met by using an isolated main  
power supply for the entire device. This strategy can be  
used if the device has no electrically conducting ports  
other than twisted-pair Ethernet. In this case, the SDAIN  
and SDAOUT pins can be tied together and will act as a  
Sense Resistor  
The LTC4266A/LTC4266C is designed to use either  
0.5Ω or 0.25Ω current sense resistors. For new designs  
0.25Ω is recommended to reduce power dissipation; the  
0.5Ω option is intended for existing systems where the
