Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings  
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute  
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 2: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
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 LTC4274A/LTC4274C operates with a negative supply voltage

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 LTC4274A family responds to this market by  
allowing a reliable means of providing up to 90W of deliv-  
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

LTC4274 Product Family  
TheC-gradeLTC4274isafullyautonomous802.3atType1  
PSE solution. Intended for use only in AUTO pin mode,  
the C-grade chipset autonomously supports detection,  
classification and powering of Type 1 PDs. As a Type 1  
PSE, 2-event classification is prohibited and Class 4 PDs  
are automatically treated as Class 0 PDs.  
The LTC4274 is a third-generation single PSE controller  
that implements four PSE ports in either an end-point  
or midspan design. Virtually all necessary circuitry is  
included to implement an IEEE 802.3at compliant PSE  
design, requiring only an external power MOSFET and  
sense resistor; these minimize power loss compared to  
alternative designs with an on-board MOSFET.  
PoE Basics  
Common Ethernet data connections consist of two or four  
twisted pairs of copper wire (commonly known as CAT-5  
cable), transformer-coupled at each end to avoid ground  
loops. PoE systems take advantage of this coupling ar-  
rangement by applying voltage between the center-taps  
of the data transformers to transmit power from the PSE  
to the PD without affecting data transmission. Figure 10  
shows a high-level PoE system schematic.  
The LTC4274 comes in three grades which support dif-  
ferent PD power levels.  
The A-grade LTC4274 extends PoE power delivery capa-  
++  
++  
bilities to LTPoE levels. LTPoE is a Linear Technology  
proprietary specification allowing for the delivery of up to  
++  
++  
90WtoLTPoE compliantPDs.TheLTPoE architecture  
extends the IEEE physical power negotiation to include  
38.7W, 52.7W, 70W and 90W power levels. The A-grade  
LTC4274 also incorporates all B- and C-grade features.  
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.  
The B-grade LTC4274 is a fully IEEE-compliant Type 2  
PSE supporting autonomous detection, classification  
and powering of Type 1 and Type 2 PDs. The B-grade  
LTC4274 also incorporates all C-grade features. The  
B-grade LTC4274 is marketed and numbered without the  
B suffix for legacy reasons; the absence of power grade  
suffix infers a B-grade part.

OPERATION  
++  
Extended Power LTPoE  
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 higher levels of LTPoE delivery impose additional

is offered in four power levels (-1, -2, -3, and -4) which  
allows the AUTO pin mode LTC4274A to autonomously  
power up to supported power levels. If the AUTO pin is  
high, internal circuitry determines the maximum deliver-  
able power. PDsrequesting more than theavailablepower  
limits are not powered.

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.TheLTC4274A/LTC4274C  
is designed to work in both Type 1 and Type 2 PSE de-  
signs, and also supports non-standard configurations  
at higher power levels.

• 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 LTC4274A/LTC4274C fully supports the new Class  
Pulse protocol and is also compatible with the LLDP  
protocol(whichisimplementedinthedatacommunica-  
tions layer, not in the PoE circuitry).

• Fault protection current levels and timing are adjusted  
to reduce peak power in the MOSFET during a fault;  
this allows the new 25.5W power levels to be reached  
using the same MOSFETs as older 13W designs.

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-

computer network ports, many of which have 150Ω

Detection of Legacy PDs  
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.

2-event classification.  
One method adds extra fields to the Ethernet LLDP data  
protocol;althoughtheLTC4274A/LTC4274Ciscompatible  
with this classification method, it cannot perform clas-  
sification directly since it doesn’t have access to the data  
path. LLDP classification requires the PSE to power the  
PD as a standard 802.3af (Type 1) device. It then waits  
for the host to perform LLDP communication with the PD  
and update the PSE port data. The LTC4274A/LTC4274C

The primary function of the LTC4274A/LTC4274C is to  
control the delivery of power to the PSE port. It does this  
by controlling the gate drive voltage of an external power  
MOSFET while monitoring the current via an external  
sense resistor and the output voltage at the OUT pin. This

The second 802.3at classification method, known as  
2-event classification or ping-pong, is supported by the  
LTC4274A. A Type 2 PD that is requesting more than 13W  
will indicate Class 4 during normal 802.3af classification.  
If the LTC4274A sees Class 4, it forces the port to a speci-  
fied lower voltage (called the mark voltage, typically 9V),  
pauses briefly, and then re-runs classification to verify the  
Class 4 reading (Figure 1). It also sets a bit in the High  
Power Status register to indicate that it ran the second  
classification cycle. The second cycle alerts the PD that  
it is connected to a Type 2 PSE which can supply Type 2  
power levels.

CUT  
The LTC4274A/LTC4274C 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

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The LTC4274A/LTC4274C will support current levels well  
beyond the maximum values in the 802.3at specification.  
The shaded areas in Table 6 indicate settings that may  
require a larger external MOSFET, additional heat sinking,  
Disconnect  
The LTC4274A/LTC4274C 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

The LTC4274A/LTC4274C PSE port is designed to toler-  
ate significant levels of abuse, but in extreme cases it is  
possible 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 LTC4274A/LTC4274C SENSE  
pin to rise to an abnormally high voltage. A failed MOSFET  
may also short from gate to drain, causing the LTC4274A/  
LTC4274C GATE pin to rise to an abnormally high voltage.  
The LTC4274A/LTC4274C OUT, SENSE and GATE pins  
are designed to tolerate up to 80V faults without damage.  
ister will be set. If the current returns before the t timer  
DIS  
runs out, the timer resets and will start counting from the  
beginning if the undercurrent condition returns. As long  
as the PD exceeds the minimum current level more often  
than t , it will stay powered.  
DIS  
Although not recommended, the DC disconnect feature  
can be disabled by clearing the DC Disconnect Enable  
bit. Note that this defeats the protection mechanisms  
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 LTC4274A/LTC4274C 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 LTC4274A/LTC4274C does not include AC discon-  
nect circuitry, but includes an AC Disconnect Enable bit  
to maintain compatibility with the LTC4259A. If the AC  
Disconnect Enable bit is set, DC disconnect will be used.  
Shutdown Pin  
The LTC4274A/LTC4274C includes a hardware SHDN pin.  
When the SHDN pin is pulled to DGND, the port will be  
shut off immediately. The port remains shut down until

attempts to turn on the port.  
Masked Shutdown  
Voltage and Current Readback  
The LTC4274A/LTC4274C 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 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 LTC4274A/LTC4274C measures the output voltage  
and current at the 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.

Bus Addressing  
LTC4274C chip.  
The LTC4274A/LTC4274C’s primary serial bus address  
is 010xxxxb, with the lower four bits set by the AD3-AD0  
pins; this allows up to 16 LTC4274A/LTC4274Cs on a  
single bus. All LTC4274A/LTC4274Cs also respond to  
the address 0110000b, allowing the host to write the  
same command (typically configuration commands) to  
multiple LTC4274A/LTC4274Cs in a single transaction. If  
the LTC4274A/LTC4274C is asserting the INT pin, it will  
also respond to the alert response address (0001100b)  
per the SMBus spec.

IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specifications require that network  
segments (including PoE circuitry) be electrically isolated

isolated from each other, provided that the segments are  
connected to devices residing within a single building on  
a single power distribution system.  
Sense Resistor  
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
