LTC4263
Single IEEE 802.3af
Compliant PSE Controller
with Internal Switch
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4263 is an autonomous single-channel PSE
controller for use in IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over
Ethernet systems. It includes an onboard power MOSFET,
internal inrush, current limit, and short-circuit control,
IEEE 802.3af compliant PD detection and classification
circuitry, and selectable AC or DC disconnect sensing.

The LTC4263 simplifies PSE implementation, needing
only a single 48V supply and a small number of passive
support components.

Pin-Selectable Detection Backoff for Midspan PSEs
Programmable onboard power management circuitry
permits multiple LTC4263s to allocate and share power
in multi-port systems, allowing maximum utilization of
the 48V power supply—all without the intervention of a
host processor. The port current limit can be configured
to automatically adjust to the detected PD class. Detec-
tion backoff timing is configurable for either Endpoint or
Midspanoperation.Built-infoldbackandthermalprotection
provide comprehensive fault protection.

An LED pin indicates the state of the port controlled by
the LTC4263. When run from a single 48V supply, the LED
pin can operate as a simple switching current source to
reduce power dissipation in the LED drive circuitry.
