Note 3: The LTC4267-3 operates with a negative supply voltage in the  
range of – 1.5V to – 57V. To avoid confusion, voltages for the PD interface  
are always referred to in terms of absolute magnitude. Terms such as  
“maximum negative voltage” refer to the largest negative voltage and  
a “rising negative voltage” refers to a voltage that is becoming more  
negative.  
Note 4: The LTC4267-3 is designed to work with two polarity protection  
diode drops between the PSE and PD. Parameter ranges specified in the  
Electrical Characteristics section are with respect to this product pins and  
are designed to meet IEEE 802.3af specifications when these diode drops  
are included. See the Application Information section.  
Note 5: Signature resistance is measured via the two-point ΔV/ΔI method  
as defined by IEEE 802.3af. The PD signature resistance is offset from  
the 25k to account for diode resistance. With two series diodes, the total  
PD resistance will be between 23.75k and 26.25k and meet IEEE 802.3af  
specifications. The minimum probe voltages measured at the LTC4267-3  
pins are 1.5V and 2.5V. The maximum probe voltages are 8.5V and  
9.5V.  
Note 6: The PD interface includes hysteresis in the UVLO voltages to  
preclude any start-up oscillation. Per IEEE 802.3af requirements, the PD  
will power up from a voltage source with 20Ω series resistance on the first  
trial.  
Note 11: For the DHC package, this parameter is assured by design and  
wafer level testing.  
Note 12: The switching regulator is tested in a feedback loop that servos  
V
to the output of the error amplifier while maintaining I /RUN at the  
FB  
TH  
midpoint of the current limit range.  
Note 13: I includes current drawn through P  
by the power

good status circuit. This current is compensated for in the 25k signature  
resistance and does not affect PD operation.  
Note 14: The LTC4267-3 PD Interface includes thermal protection. In  
the event of an overtemperature condition, the PD interface will turn off  
the switching regulator until the part cools below the overtemperature  
limit. The LTC4267-3 is also protected against thermal damage from  
incorrect classification probing by the PSE. If the LTC4267-3 exceeds the  
overtemperature threshold, the classification load current is disabled.  
Note 15: The PD interface includes dual level input current limit. At turn-  
on, before the P

voltage difference is below the power good threshold, the PD switches to

input voltage drops below the UVLO turn-off threshold.

details, refer to the programmable slope compensation feature in the

Note 17: Guaranteed by design.  
Note 18: The LTC4267-3 features thermal overload protection. Thermal  
overload protection is intended to protect the device during momentary  
fault conditions and continuous operation in thermal overload should be  
avoided as it may impair device reliability.

OVERVIEW  
LTC4267-3hasbeenspecificallydesignedtointerfacewith  
both IEEE compliant Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)  
and legacy PSEs which do not meet the inrush current  
requirement of the IEEE 802.3af specification. By setting  
the initial inrush current limit to a low level, a PD using  
the LTC4267-3 minimizes the current drawn from the PSE  
duringstart-up.Afterpoweringup,theLTC4267-3switches  
to the high level current limit, thereby allowing the PD to  
consume up to 13.0W if an IEEE 802.3af PSE is present.  
This low level current limit also allows the LTC4267-3 to  
charge arbitrarily large load capacitors without exceeding  
the inrush limits of the IEEE 802.3af specification. This  
dual level current limit provides the system designer with  
flexibility to design PDs which are compatible with legacy  
PSEs while also being able to take advantage of the higher  
power available in an IEEE 802.3af system.  
The LTC4267-3 is partitioned into two major blocks: a  
Powered Device (PD) interface controller and a current  
mode flyback switching regulator. The Powered Device  
(PD) interface is intended for use as the front end of a  
PD adhering to the IEEE 802.3af standard, and includes  
a trimmed 25k signature resistor, classification current  
source, and an input current limit circuit. With these  
functions integrated into the LTC4267-3, the signature  
and power interface for a PD can be built that meets all  
the requirements of the IEEE 802.3af specification with a  
minimum of external components.  
The switching regulator portion of the LTC4267-3 is a  
constant-frequency current mode controller that is opti-  
mized for Power over Ethernet applications. The regulator  
is designed to drive a 6V N-channel MOSFET and features  
soft-start and programmable slope compensation. The  
integrated error amplifier and precision reference give the  
PD designer the option of using a nonisolated topology  
withouttheneedforanexternalamplifierorreference. The  
Using an LTC4267-3 for the power and signature inter-  
face functions of a PD provides several advantages. The  
LTC4267-3 current limit circuit includes an onboard 100V  
power MOSFET. This low leakage MOSFET is specified to

is designed to allow multiple turn-on sequences without  
overheating the miniature 16-lead package. In the event of  
excessive power cycling, the LTC4267-3 provides thermal  
overload protection to keep the onboard power MOSFET  
within its safe operating area.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Series Diodes  
commodate the voltage drop of the two diodes. The IEEE  
specificationrequiresthePSEtouseaΔV/ΔImeasurement  
technique to keep the DC offset of these diodes from af-  
fecting the signature resistance measurement. However,  
the diode resistance appears in series with the signature  
resistor and must be included in the overall signature  
resistance of the PD. The LTC4267-3 compensates for  
the two series diodes in the signature path by offsetting  
the resistance so that a PD built using the LTC4267-3 will  
meet the IEEE specification.  
The IEEE 802.3af-defined operating modes for a PD refer-  
ence the input voltage at the RJ45 connector on the PD.  
The PD must be able to accept power of either polarity  
at each of its inputs, so it is common to install diode  
bridges (Figure 2). The LTC4267-3 takes this into account  
by compensating for these diode drops in the threshold  
points for each range of operation. A similar adjustment  
is made for the UVLO voltages.  
Detection  
In some applications it is necessary to control whether  
or not the PD is detected. In this case, the 25k signature  
resistor can be enabled and disabled with the use of the  
SIGDISA pin (Figure 3). Disabling the signature via the  
SIGDISA pin will change the signature resistor to 9k  
(typical) which is an invalid signature per the IEEE 802.3af  
specification. ThisinvalidsignatureispresentforPDinput  
voltagesfrom2.8Vto10V.Iftheinputrisesabove10V,  
the signature resistor reverts to 25k to minimize power  
dissipation in the LTC4267-3. To disable the signature,  
During detection, the PSE will apply a voltage in the range  
of 2.8V to –10V on the cable and look for a 25k signature  
resistor. This identifies the device at the end of the cable as  
aPD.Withtheterminalvoltageinthisrange,theLTC4267-3

Classification  
The IEEE 802.3af specification limits the classification  
time to 75ms because a significant amount of power is  
dissipated in the PD. The LTC4267-3 is designed to handle  
the power dissipation for this time period. If the PSE prob-  
ing exceeds 75ms, the LTC4267-3 may overheat. In this  
situation, the thermal protection circuit will engage and  
disabletheclassificationcurrentsourceinordertoprotect  
the part. The LTC4267-3 stays in classification mode until  
the input voltage rises above the UVLO turn-on voltage.  
Once the PSE has detected a PD, the PSE may option-  
ally classify the PD. Classification provides a method for  
more efficient allocation of power by allowing the PSE  
to identify lower power PDs and allocate less power for  
these devices. The IEEE 802.3af specification defines five  
classes (Table 2) with varying power levels. The designer  
selects the appropriate classification based on the power  
consumption of the PD. For each class, there is an as-  
sociated load current that the PD asserts onto the line  
during classification probing. The PSE measures the PD  
load current to determine the proper classification and  
PD power requirements.

As the LTC4267-3 switches from the low to high level  
current limit, the current will increase momentarily. This  
current spike is a result of the LTC4267-3 charging the  
last 1.5V at the high level current limit. When charging a

and 125% of the nominal low level current limit.

the LTC4267-3 will attempt to quickly charge capacitor C1  
using an internal secondary current limit circuit. In this  
scenario, the PSE current limit should provide the overall  
limit for the circuit. For slower rising inputs, the 375mA  
current limit in the LTC4267-3 will set the charge rate of  
the capacitor C1. In either case, the PWRGD signal may  
go inactive briefly while the capacitor is charged up to the  
new line voltage. In the design of a PD, it is necessary  
to determine if a step in the input voltage will cause the  
PWRGD signal to go inactive and how to respond to this  
event. In some designs, it may be desirable to filter the  
PWRGD signal so that intermittent power bad conditions  
are ignored. Figure 7 demonstrates a method to insert a  
lowpass filter on the power good interface.

PD Interface Thermal Protection  
The LTC4267-3 PD Interface includes thermal overload  
protection in order to provide full device functionality  
in a miniature package while maintaining safe operating  
temperatures. Several factors create the possibility of  
significant power dissipation within the LTC4267-3. At  
turn-on, before the load capacitor has charged up, the  
instantaneous power dissipated by the LTC4267-3 can be  
as much as 10W. As the load capacitor charges up, the  
power dissipation in the LTC4267-3 will decrease until it  
reaches a steady-state value dependent on the DC load  
current. Thesizeoftheloadcapacitordetermineshowfast  
the power dissipation in the LTC4267-3 will subside. At  
roomtemperature,theLTC4267-3cantypicallyhandleload  
capacitors as large as 800µF without going into thermal  
shutdown. With large load capacitors, the LTC4267-3 die  
temperature will increase by as much as 50°C during a  
single turn-on sequence. If for some reason power were  
removed from the part and then quickly reapplied so that  
the LTC4267-3 had to charge up the load capacitor again,  
the temperature rise would be excessive if safety precau-  
tions were not implemented.  
For PD designs that use a large load capacitor and also  
consume a lot of power, it is important to delay activation  
of the switching regulator with the PWRGD signal. If the  
regulatorisnotdisabledduringthecurrent-limitedturn-on  
sequence, the PD circuitry will rob current intended for  
charging up the load capacitor and create a slow rising  
input, possibly causing the LTC4267-3 to go into thermal  
shutdown.  
The PWRGD pin connects to an internal open drain, 100V  
transistor capable of sinking 1mA. Low impedance to  
V
indicates power is good. PWRGD is high imped-

ance during signature and classification probing and in  
the event of a thermal overload. During turn-off, PWRGD  
is deactivated when the input voltage drops below 30V.  
In addition, PWRGD may go active briefly at turn-on for  
fast rising input waveforms. PWRGD is referenced to the  
V

temperature exceeds the overtemperature trip point, the  
current is reduced to zero and very little power is dissi-  
pated in the part until it cools below the overtemperature  
set point. Once the LTC4267-3 has charged up the load  
capacitor and the PD is powered and running, there will  
be minor residual heating due to the DC load current of  
the PD flowing through the internal MOSFET.  
In the typical application circuit (Figure 11), the isolated  
topology employs an external resistive voltage divider to  
present a fraction of the output voltage to an external er-  
ror amplifier. The error amplifier responds by pulling an  
analog current through the input LED on an optoisolator.  
The collector of the optoisolator output presents a corre-  
sponding current into the I /RUN pin via a series diode.

sets the RS latch. It turns off the MOSFET when the cur-  
rent comparator resets the latch or when 80% duty cycle  
is reached, whichever happens first. In this way, the peak

The PD is designed to operate at a high ambient tem-

mechanisms to enable and disable operation: an un-

points to meet IEEE 802.3af compliance. D13 is added  
to compensate for the change in UVLO turn-on voltage  
caused by the Schottky diodes and consumes little power.  
IEEE 802.3af allows power wiring in either of two configu-  
rations: on the TX/RX wires or via the spare wire pairs in  
the RJ45 connector. The PD is required to accept power in  
eitherpolarityoneitherthemainorspareinputs;therefore  
it is common to install diode bridges on both inputs in  
ordertoaccommodatethedifferentwiringconfigurations.  
Figure 9 demonstrates an implementation of these diode  
bridges. The IEEE 802.3af specification also mandates  
that the leakage back through the unused bridge be less  
than 28µA when the PD is powered with 57V.  
Input Capacitor  
The IEEE 802.3af/at standard includes an impedance  
requirement in order to implement the AC disconnect  
function. A 0.1µF capacitor (C14 in Figure 9) is used to  
meet the AC impedance requirement.

The input diode bridge of a PD can consume over 4% of  
the available power in some applications. It may be de-  
sirable to use Schottky diodes in order to reduce power  
loss. However, if the standard diode bridge is replaced  
with a Schottky bridge, the transition points between the  
modes will be affected. Figure 10 shows a technique for  
usingSchottkydiodeswhilemaintainingproperthreshold  
LTC4267-3 based PD. (see Figure 9.) The TVS limits the  
voltage across the port while the 10Ω and 0.1µF capaci-  
tance reduces the edge rate the LTC4267-3 encounters  
across its pin. The added 10Ω series resistance does not  
operationally affect the LTC4267-3 PD Interface nor does  
it affect its compliance with the IEEE 802.3 standard.

capacitor and the LTC4267-3 can charge very large load  
capacitors before thermal issues become a problem. The  
load capacitor must be large enough to provide sufficient  
energy for proper operation of the switching regulator.  
However, the capacitor must not be too large or the PD  
design may violate IEEE 802.3af requirements.  
Power Good Interface  
The PWRGD signal is controlled by a high voltage, open-  
drain transistor. The designer has the option of using this  
signal to enable the onboard switching regulator through  
the I /RUN or the P  
pins. Examples of active-high  
TH  
VCC  
interface circuits for controlling the switching regulator  
are shown in Figure 7.  
If the load capacitor is too large, there can be a problem  
with inadvertent power shutdown by the PSE. Consider  
the following scenario. If the PSE is running at 57V  
(maximumallowed)andthePDhasdetectedandpowered  
up, the load capacitor will be charged to nearly 57V. If  
for some reason the PSE voltage is suddenly reduced to  
44V(minimumallowed),theinputbridgewillreversebias  
and the PD power will be supplied by the load capacitor.  
Depending on the size of the load capacitor and the DC  
load of the PD, the PD will not draw any power for a period  
of time. If this period of time exceeds the IEEE 802.3af  
300ms disconnect delay, the PSE will remove power from  
the PD. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that  
inadvertent shutdown cannot occur.  
In some applications, it is desirable to ignore intermittent  
power bad conditions. This can be accomplished by in-  
cluding capacitor C15 in Figure 7 to form a lowpass filter.  
With the components shown, power bad conditions less  
than about 200µs will be ignored. Conversely, in other  
applications it may be desirable to delay assertion of  
PWRGD to the switching regulator using C  
or C17  
PVCC  
as shown in Figure 7.  
It is recommended that the designer use the power  
good signal to enable the switching regulator. Using  
PWRGD ensures the capacitor C1 has reached within  
1.5V of the final value and is ready to accept a load. The  
LTC4267-3 is designed with wide power good hysteresis  
to handle sudden fluctuations in the load voltage and  
current without prematurely shutting off the switching  
regulator. Please refer to the Power-Up Sequencing of the  
Application Information section.  
Very small output capacitors (≤10µF) will charge very  
quickly in current limit. The rapidly changing voltage at  
the output may reduce the current limit temporarily, caus-  
ing the capacitor to charge at a somewhat reduced rate.  
Conversely, charging a very large capacitor may cause the  
current limit to increase slightly. In either case, once the  
output voltage reaches its final value, the input current  
limit will be restored to its nominal value.

Error Amplifier and Optoisolator Considerations  
In an isolated topology, the selection of the external error  
amplifier depends on the output voltage of the switching  
regulator. Typical error amplifiers include a voltage refer-  
ence of either 1.25V or 2.5V. The output of the amplifier  
and the amplifier upper supply rail are often tied together  
internally. The supply rail is usually specified with a wide  
upper voltage range, but it is not allowed to fall below the  
reference voltage. This can be a problem in an isolated  
switcher design if the amplifier supply voltage is not prop-  
erly managed. When the switcher load current decreases  
and the output voltage rises, the error amplifier responds  
by pulling more current through the LED. The LED voltage  
Maintain Power Signature  
In an IEEE 802.3af system, the PSE uses the Maintain  
Power Signature (MPS) to determine if a PD continues  
to require power. The MPS requires the PD to periodically  
draw at least 10mA and also have an AC impedance less  
than 26.25k in parallel with 0.05µF. If either the DC current  
is less than 10mA or the AC impedance is above 26.25k,  
the PSE may disconnect power. The DC current must be  
less than 5mA and the AC impedance must be above 2M  
to guarantee power will be removed.

resistor.  
SENSE  
For example, a 0.020Ω sense resistor, with one milliohm  
(0.001Ω) of parasitic resistance will cause a 5% reduction  
in peak switch current. The resistance of printed circuit  
copper traces cannot necessarily be ignored and good  
layout techniques are mandatory.  
Since the external feedback resistor divider sets the  
output voltage, the PD designer has relative freedom in  
selecting the transformer turns ratio. The PD designer  
can use simple ratios of small integers (i.e. 1:1, 2:1, 3:2)  
which yields more freedom in setting the total turns and  
mutual inductance and may allow the use of an off the  
shelf transformer.  
Programmable Slope Compensation  
The LTC4267-3 switching regulator injects a ramping  
current through its SENSE pin into an external slope  
Transformer leakage inductance on either the primary or  
secondary causes a voltage spike to occur after the output  
switch (Q1 in Figure 11) turns off. The input supply volt-  
age plus the secondary-to-primary referred voltage of the  
flyback pulse (including leakage spike) must not exceed  
theallowedexternalMOSFETbreakdownrating.Thisspike  
is increasingly prominent at higher load currents, where  
more stored energy must be dissipated. In some cases,

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Selecting the Switching Transistor  
Figure 16 demonstrates three methods of diode ORing  
external power into a PD. Option 1 inserts power before  
the LTC4267-3 interface controller while options 2 and  
3 bypass the LTC4267-3 interface controller section and  
power the switching regulator directly.  
With the N-channel power MOSFET driving the primary of  
the transformer, the inductance will cause the drain of the  
MOSFET to traverse twice the voltage across V  
PGND. The LTC4267-3 operates with a maximum supply  
of – 57V; thus the MOSFET must be rated to handle 114V  
or more with sufficient design margin. Typical transis-  
tors have 150V ratings while some manufacturers have  
developed 120V rated MOSFETs specifically for Power-  
over-Ethernet applications.  
and  
PORTP  
If power is inserted before the LTC4267-3 interface con-  
troller, it is necessary for the wall transformer to exceed  
the LTC4267-3 UVLO turn-on requirement and include a  
transient voltage suppressor (TVS) to limit the maximum  
voltage to 57V. This option provides input current limit  
for the transformer, provides a valid power good signal,  
and simplifies power priority issues. As long as the wall  
transformer applies power to the PD before the PSE, it  
will take priority and the PSE will not power up the PD  
because the wall power will corrupt the 25k signature. If  
the PSE is already powering the PD, the wall transformer  
power will be in parallel with the PSE. In this case, prior-  
ity will be given to the higher supply voltage. If the wall  
transformer voltage is higher, the PSE should remove the  
line voltage since no current will be drawn from the PSE.  
On the other hand, if the wall transformer voltage is lower,  
the PSE will continue to supply power to the PD and the  
walltransformerwillnotbeused. Properoperationshould  
occur in either scenario.  
The NGATE pin of the LTC4267-3 drives the gate of the  
N-channel MOSFET. NGATE will traverse a rail-to-rail volt-  
age from PGND to P . The designer must ensure the  
VCC  
MOSFET provides a low “ON” resistance when switched  
to P  
as well as ensure the gate of the MOSFET can  
VCC  
handle the P  
supply voltage.  
VCC  
For high efficiency applications, select an N-channel  
MOSFET with low total gate charge. The lower total gate  
charge improves the efficiency of the NGATE drive circuit  
and minimizes the switching current needed to charge  
and discharge the gate.  
Auxiliary Power Source  
In some applications, it may be desirable to power the  
PD from an auxiliary power source such as a wall trans-  
former. The auxiliary power can be injected into the PD at  
several locations and various trade-offs exist. Power can  
be injected at the 3.3V or 5V output of the isolated power  
supply with the use of a diode ORing circuit. This method  
accesses the internal circuits of the PD after the isolation  
barrier and therefore meets the 802.3af isolation safety  
requirements for the wall transformer jack on the PD.  
Power can also be injected into the PD interface portion of  
the LTC4267-3. In this case, it is necessary to ensure the  
user cannot access the terminals of the wall transformer  
jack on the PD since this would compromise the 802.3af  
isolation safety requirements.  
If auxiliary power is applied directly to the LTC4267-3  
switching regulator (bypassing the LTC4267-3 PD inter-  
face), a different set of tradeoffs arise. In the configuration  
shown in option 2, the wall transformer does not need  
to exceed the LTC4267-3 turn-on UVLO requirement;  
however, it is necessary to include diode D9 to prevent  
the transformer from applying power to the LTC4267-3  
interface controller. The transformer voltage requirement  
will be governed by the needs of the onboard switching  
regulator. However, power priority issues require more  
intervention. If the wall transformer voltage is below  
the PSE voltage, then priority will be given to the PSE  
power.TheLTC4267-3interfacecontrollerwilldrawpower

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
from the PSE while the transformer will sit unused. This  
configuration is not a problem in a PoE system. On the  
other hand, if the wall transformer voltage is higher than  
the PSE voltage, the LTC4267-3 switching regulator will  
draw power from the transformer. In this situation, it is  
necessary to address the issue of power cycling that may  
occur if a PSE is present. The PSE will detect the PD and  
apply power. If the switcher is being powered by the wall  
transformer, then the PD will not meet the minimum load  
requirementandthePSEwillsubsequentlyremovepower.  
The PSE will again detect the PD and power cycling will  
start. With a transformer voltage above the PSE voltage,  
it is necessary to either disable the signature, as shown  
in option 2, or install a minimum load on the output of the  
LTC4267-3 interface to prevent power cycling.  
The LTC4267-3 includes a power good signal in the PD  
interfacethatcanbeusedtoindicatetotheswitchingregu-  
lator that the load capacitor is fully charged and ready to  
handle the switcher load. Figure 7 shows two examples of  
waysthePWRGDsignalcanbeusedtocontroltheswitch-  
ing regulator. The first example employs an N-channel  
MOSFET to drive the I /RUN port below the shutdown  
TH  
threshold (typically 0.28V). The second example drives  
P
VCC  
below the P  
turn-off threshold. Employing the  
VCC  
second example has the added advantage of adding delay  
to the switching regulator start-up beyond the time the  
power good signal becomes active. The second example  
ensures additional timing margin at start-up without the  
needforaddeddelaycomponents. Inapplicationswhereit  
is not desirable to utilize the power good signal, sufficient  
timing margin can be achieved with R  
and C  
.
The third option also applies power directly to the  
LTC4267-3 switching regulator, bypassing the LTC4267-3  
interface controller and omitting diode D9. With the  
diode omitted, the transformer voltage is applied to the  
LTC4267-3interfacecontrollerinadditiontotheswitching  
regulator. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that the  
transformer maintain the voltage between 38V and 57V  
to keep the LTC4267-3 interface controller in its normal  
operating range. The third option has the advantage of  
automatically disabling the 25k signature resistor when  
the external voltage exceeds the PSE voltage.

Layout Considerations for the LTC4267-3  
The most critical layout considerations for the LTC4267-3  
are the placement of the supporting external components  
associatedwiththeswitching regulator.Efficiency,stability,  
and load transient response can deteriorate without good  
layout practices around critical components.  
For the LTC4267-3 switching regulator, the current loop  
through C1, T1 primary, Q1, and R  
must be given

careful layout attention. (Refer to Figure 11.) Because of  
the high switching current circulating in this loop, these  
components should be placed in close proximity to each  
other. In addition, wide copper traces or copper planes  
should be used between these components. If vias are  
necessarytocompletetheconnectivityofthisloop,placing  
multiple vias lined perpendicular to the flow of current is  
essential for minimizing parasitic resistance and reducing  
current density. Since the switching frequency and the  
power levels are substantial, shielding and high frequency  
layout techniques should be employed. A low current,  
The LTC4267-3 consists of two functional cells, the PD  
interface and the switching regulator, and the power up

ThePDdesignershouldensurethattheswitchingregulator  
doesnotbeginoperationuntiltheinterfacehas completed  
charging up the load capacitor. This will ensure that the  
switcher load current does not compete with the load  
capacitor charging current provided by the PD interface  
current limit circuit. Overlooking this consideration may
