Power over Ethernet (PoE) continues to gain popularity  
as more products are taking advantage of having DC  
power and high speed data available from a single RJ45  
connector. As PoE continues to grow in the marketplace,  
Powered Device (PD) equipment vendors are running into  
the 12.95W power limit established by the IEEE 802.3af  
standard.

The IEE802.3at standard establishes a higher power  
allocation for Power over Ethernet while maintaining  
backwards compatibility with the existing IEEE 802.3af  
systems. Power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered  
devices are distinguished as Type 1 complying with the  
IEEE 802.3af/IEEE 802.3at power levels, or Type 2 com-  
plying with the IEEE 802.3at power levels. The maximum  
available power of a Type 2 PD is 25.5W.

The IEEE 802.3at standard also establishes a new method  
ofacquiringpowerclassificationfromaPDandcommuni-  
cating the presence of a Type 2 PSE. A Type 2 PSE has the  
option of acquiring PD power classification by performing  
2-event classification (layer 1) or by communicating with  
the PD over the data line (layer 2). In turn, a Type 2 PD  
must be able to recognize both layers of communications  
and identify a Type 2 PSE.

The LTC4269-1 is specifically designed to support the  
front end of a PD that must operate under the IEEE 802.3at  
standard. In particular, the LTC4269-1 provides the T2P  
indicator bit which recognizes 2-event classification.  
This indicator bit may be used to alert the LTC4269-1  
output load that a Type 2 PSE is present. With an internal  
signature resistor, classification circuitry, inrush control,  
and thermal shutdown, the LTC4269-1 is a complete PD

The input diode bridge introduces a voltage drop that  
affects the range for each mode of operation. The  
LTC4269-1 compensates for these voltage drops so that a  
PD built with the LTC4269-1 meets the IEEE 802.3af/IEEE  
802.3at-established voltage ranges. Note the Electrical

During detection, the PSE looks for a 25k signature resis-  
tor which identifies the device as a PD. The PSE will apply  
two voltages in the range of 2.8V to 10V and measures  
the corresponding currents. Figure 1 shows the detection  
voltagesV1andV2andthecorrespondingPDcurrent.The  
PSE calculates the signature resistance using the ΔV/ΔI  
measurement technique.  
*ON/OFF includes hysteresis. Rising input threshold, 37.2V Max.

by performing a 2-event classification (layer 1) or by  
communicating over the high speed data line (layer 2). A  
Type 2 PD must recognize both layers of communication.  
Since layer 2 communication takes place directly between  
the PSE and the LTC4269-1 load, the LTC4269-1 concerns  
itself only with recognizing 2-event classification.

In 2-event classification, a Type 2 PSE probes for power  
classification twice. Figure 4 presents an example of a  
2-event classification. The 1st classification event occurs  
when the PSE presents an input voltage between 15.5V  
to 20.5V and the LTC4269-1 presents a class 4 load cur-  
rent. The PSE then drops the input voltage into the mark  
voltage range of 7V to 10V, signaling the 1st mark event.  
The PD in the mark voltage range presents a load current  
between 0.25mA to 4mA.

CLASSIFICATION  
Classification provides a method for more efficient power  
allocation by allowing the PSE to identify a PD power clas-  
sification. Class 0 is included in the IEEE specification for  
PDsthatdonotsupportclassification. Class1-3partitions  
PDs into three distinct power ranges. Class 4 includes the  
new power range under IEEE802.3at (see Table 2).  
The PSE repeats this sequence, signaling the 2nd Clas-  
sification and 2nd mark event occurrence. This alerts the  
LTC4269-1 that a Type 2 PSE is present. The Type 2 PSE  
then applies power to the PD and the LTC4269-1 charges  
up the reservoir capacitor C1 with a controlled inrush cur-  
rent.WhenC1isfullycharged,andtheLTC4269-1declares

voltage between 15.5V and 20.5V to the PD (Figure 1).

As a member of the IEEE 802.3at working group, Linear  
Technology noted that it is possible for a Type 2 PD to  
receiveafalseindicationofa2-eventclassificationifaPSE  
portispre-chargedtoavoltageabovethedetectionvoltage  
range before the first detection cycle. The IEEE working  
group modified the standard to prevent this possibility by  
requiring a Type 2 PD to corrupt the signature resistance  
duringthemarkevent, alertingthePSEnottoapplypower.  
The LTC4269-1 conforms to this standard by corrupting  
the signature resistance. This also discharges the port  
before the PSE begins the next detection cycle.

The onset of the classification load current introduces a  
voltage drop across the cable and increases the forward  
voltage of the input diode bridge. This may cause the PD  
to oscillate between detection and classification with the  
onset and removal of the classification load current.

input voltage falls below the OFF threshold, the PD load  
is disconnected, and classification mode resumes. C1  
discharges through the LTC4269-1 circuitry.  
The LTC4269-1 keeps the PD inrush current below the  
PSE current limit to provide a well controlled power-up  
characteristic that is independent of the PSE behavior.  
This ensures a PD using the LTC4269-1 interoperability  
with any PSE.  
COMPLEMENTARY POWER GOOD  
When LTC4269-1 fully charges the load capacitor (C1),  
power good is declared and the LTC4269-1 load can safely  
beginoperation. TheLTC4269-1providescomplementary  
power good signals that remain active during normal op-  
eration and are de-asserted when the input voltage falls  
below the OFF threshold, when the input voltage exceeds  
the overvoltage lockout (OVLO) threshold, or in the event  
of a thermal shutdown (see Figure 6).  
TURN-ON/ TURN-OFF THRESHOLD  
The IEEE 802.3af/at specification for the PD dictates a  
maximum turn-on voltage of 42V and a minimum turn-off  
voltage of 30V. This specification provides an adequate  
voltage to begin PD operation, and to discontinue PD op-  
eration when the input voltage is too low. In addition, this  
specification allows PD designs to incorporate an ON/OFF  
hysteresis window to prevent start-up oscillations.

PWRGD PIN WHEN SHDN IS INVOKED  
Nodes on an Ethernet network commonly interface to the  
outside world via an isolation transformer. For PDs, the  
isolation transformer must also include a center tap on  
the RJ45 connector side (see Figure 7).  
InPDapplicationswhereanauxiliarypowersupplyinvokes  
the SHDN feature, the PWRGD pin becomes high imped-  
ance. This prevents the PWRGD pin that is connected to  
the UVLO pin from interfering with the DC/DC converter  
operations when powered by an auxiliary power supply.  
The increased current levels in a Type 2 PD over a Type 1  
increase the current imbalance in the magnetics which  
can interfere with data transmission. In addition, proper  
termination is also required around the transformer to  
providecorrectimpedancematchingandtoavoidradiated  
and conducted emissions. Transformer vendors such as  
Bel Fuse, Coilcraft, Halo, Pulse, and Tyco (Table 4) can  
assist in selecting an appropriate isolation transformer  
and proper termination methods.  
OVERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT  
The LTC4269-1 includes an overvoltage lockout (OVLO)  
feature (Figure 6) which protects the LTC4269-1 and its  
load from an overvoltage event. If the input voltage ex-  
ceeds the OVLO threshold, the LTC4269-1 discontinues  
PD operation. Normal operations resume when the input  
voltage falls below the OVLO threshold and when C1 is  
charged up.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Input Diode Bridge  
bridge cannot generate more than 2.8V across a 100k  
resistor when a PD is powered with 57V.  
Figure 2 shows how two diode bridges are typically con-  
nected in a PD application. One bridge is dedicated to the  
data pair while the other bridge is dedicated to the spare  
pair. The LTC4269-1 supports the use of either silicon or  
Schottkyinputdiodebridges.However,therearetrade-offs  
in the choice of diode bridges.  
Sharing Input Diode Bridges  
At higher temperatures, a PD design may be forced to  
consider larger bridges in a bigger package because the  
maximum operating current for the input diode bridge is  
drastically derated. The larger package may not be accept-  
able in some space-limited environments.  
An input diode bridge must be rated above the maximum  
current the PD application will encounter at the tempera-  
ture the PD will operate. Diode bridge vendors typically  
call out the operating current at room temperature, but  
derate the maximum current with increasing temperature.  
Consultthediodebridgevendorsfortheoperatingcurrent  
derating curve.  
One solution to consider is to reconnect the diode bridges  
so that only one of the four diodes conducts current in  
each package. This configuration extends the maximum  
operating current while maintaining a smaller package  
profile. Figure 7 shows how to reconnect the two diode  
bridges. Consult the diode bridge vendors for the derating  
curve when only one of four diodes is in operation.  
Asilicondiodebridgecanconsumeover4%oftheavailable  
power in some PD applications. Using Schottky diodes can  
help reduce the power loss with a lower forward voltage.  
Input Capacitor  
A Schottky bridge may not be suitable for some high  
temperature PD application. The leakage current has a  
voltagedependencythatcanreducetheperceivedsignature

mandates the leakage back-feeding through the unused  
The IEEE 802.3af/at standard includes an impedance

meet this AC impedance requirement.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Transient Voltage Suppressor  
T2P Interface  
The LTC4269-1 specifies an absolute maximum voltage of  
100V and is designed to tolerate brief overvoltage events.  
However, the pins that interface to the outside world can  
routinely see excessive peak voltages. To protect the  
LTC4269-1, install a transient voltage suppressor (D3)  
between the input diode bridge and the LTC4269-1 as  
shown in Figure 7.  
When a 2-event classification sequence successfully  
completes, the LTC4269-1 recognizes this sequence,  
and provides an indicator bit, declaring the presence of  
a Type 2 PSE. The open-drain output provides the option  
to use this signal to communicate to the LTC4269-1 load,  
or to leave the pin unconnected.  
Figure 8 shows two interface options using the T2P  
pin and the opto-isolator. The T2P pin is active low and  
connects to an opto-isolator to communicate across the

Enable Delay Time (ENDLY)  
Load Compensation Theory  
The flyback pulse appears when the primary-side switch  
shutsoff.However,ittakesanitetimeuntilthetransformer  
primary-side voltage waveform represents the output  
voltage. This is partly due to rise time on the primary-  
side MOSFET drain node, but, more importantly, is due  
to transformer leakage inductance. The latter causes a  
voltage spike on the primary side, not directly related to  
output voltage. Some time is also required for internal  
settling of the feedback amplifier circuitry. In order to  
maintain immunity to these phenomena, a fixed delay is  
introduced between the switch turn-off command and the  
enabling of the feedback amplifier. This is termed “enable  
delay.” In certain cases where the leakage spike is not  
sufficiently settled by the end of the enable delay period,  
regulation error may result. See the subsequent sections  
for further details.  
The LTC4269-1 uses the flyback pulse to obtain  
information about the isolated output voltage. An error  
source is caused by transformer secondary current flow

When the flyback waveform drops below this level, the

This impedance error may be judged acceptable in less  
critical applications, or if the output load current remains  
relativelyconstant.Inthesecases,theexternalFBresistive  
divider is adjusted to compensate for nominal expected  
error. In more demanding applications, output impedance  
error is minimized by the use of the load compensation  
function. Figure 11 shows the block diagram of the load  
compensation function. Switch current is converted to a

Minimum Enable Time  
The feedback amplifier, once enabled, stays on for a fixed  
minimum time period, termed “minimum enable time.”  
This prevents lockup, especially when the output voltage  
is abnormally low, e.g., during start-up. The minimum  
enable time period ensures that the V

voltage regulation is affected. The feedback system has a  
deliberately limited input range, roughly 50mV referred  
to the FB node. This rejects higher voltage leakage spikes  
because once a leakage spike is several volts in amplitude,  
a further increase in amplitude has little effect on the  
feedback system. Therefore, it is advisable to arrange the  
clamp circuit to clamp at as high a voltage as possible,  
observing MOSFET breakdown, such that leakage spike  
duration is as short as possible. Application Note 19  
provides a good reference on clamp design.  
When building a supply with multiple outputs derived  
through a multiple winding transformer, lower duty cycle  
can improve cross regulation by keeping the synchronous

Secondary Leakage Inductance  
where:  
Leakage inductance on the secondary forms an inductive  
divider on the transformer secondary, reducing the size  
of the flyback pulse. This increases the output voltage  
target by a similar percentage. Note that unlike leakage  
spike behavior, this phenomenon is independent of load.  
Since the secondary leakage inductance is a constant  
percentage of mutual inductance (within manufacturing  
variations), the solution is to adjust the feedback resistive  
divider ratio to compensate.

Optimization might show that a more efficient solution

and the associated winding series resistance. A simple  
spreadsheet program is useful for looking at trade-offs.  
Bifilar Winding  
A bifilar, or similar winding, is a good way to minimize  
troublesome leakage inductances. Bifilar windings also  
improve coupling coefficients, and thus improve cross  
regulation in multiple winding transformers. However,  
tight coupling usually increases primary-to-secondary  
capacitance and limits the primary-to-secondary  
breakdown voltage, so is not always practical.  
Transformer Core Selection

efficiency converters use ferrite cores to minimize core

balancescoreandcopperlosses.Rememberthatincreased  
winding resistance will degrade cross regulation and  
increase the amount of load compensation required.  
Primary Inductance  
The transformer primary inductance, L , is selected

0.4).Highervaluesofripplewillincreaseconductionlosses,  
while lower values will require larger cores.  
The main design goals for core selection are reducing  
copper losses and preventing saturation. Ferrite core

then use a pulse on the SYNC pin of amplitude greater

Enable Delay Time (ENDLY)  
Enabledelaytimeprovidesaprogrammabledelaybetween

this delay allows the feedback amplifier to ignore the  
leakage inductance voltage spike on the primary side.  
The worst-case leakage spike pulse width is at maximum  
load conditions. So, set the enable delay time at these  
conditions.  
Selecting Timing Resistors  
There are three internal “one-shot” times that are  
programmed by external application resistors: minimum  
on-time, enable delay time and primary MOSFET turn-on  
delay. These are all part of the isolated flyback control  
technique, and their functions are previously outlined in  
theTheoryofOperationsection.Thefollowinginformation  
should help in selecting and/or optimizing these timing  
values.  
While the typical applications for this part use forced  
continuous operation, it is conceivable that a secondary-  
side controller might cause discontinuous operation at  
light loads. Under such conditions, the amount of energy  
stored in the transformer is small. The flyback waveform  
becomes “lazy” and some time elapses before it indicates  
theactualsecondaryoutputvoltage.Theenabledelaytime  
should be made long enough to ignore the “irrelevant”  
portion of the flyback waveform at light loads.

Primary Gate Delay Time (PGDLY)  
Switchers UVLO Pin Function  
Primary gate delay is the programmable time from the  
turn-off of the synchronous MOSFET to the turn-on of the  
primary-side MOSFET. Correct setting eliminates overlap  
betweentheprimary-sideswitchandsecondary-sidesyn-  
chronous switch(es) and the subsequent current spike in  
thetransformer.Thisspikewillcauseadditionalcomponent  
stress and a loss in regulator efficiency.  
The UVLO pin provides a user programming undervoltage  
lockout. This is typically used to provide undervoltage  
lockout based on V . The gate drivers are disabled when  
IN  
UVLO is below the 1.24V UVLO threshold. An external  
resistive divider between the input supply and ground is  
used to set the turn-on voltage.  
The bias current on this pin depends on the pin volt-  
age and UVLO state. The change provides the user with  
adjustable UVLO hysteresis. When the pin rises above  
the UVLO threshold a small current is sourced out of the  
pin, increasing the voltage on the pin. As the pin voltage  
drops below this threshold, the current is stopped, further  
dropping the voltage on UVLO. In this manner, hysteresis  
is produced.  
The primary gate delay resistor is set with the following  
equation:
