12 Independent PSE Channels
The LTC®4270/LTC4271 chipset is a 12-port power sourc-
ing equipment (PSE) controller designed for use in IEEE
802.3at Type 1 and Type 2 (high power) compliant Power
over Ethernet (PoE) systems. Transformer-isolated com-
munication protocol replaces expensive opto-couplers
and complex isolated 3.3V supply resulting in significant
BOMcostsavings.TheLTC4270/LTC4271chipsetdelivers

Very High Reliability 4-Point PD Detection
2-Point Forced Voltage
Advancedpowermanagementfeaturesincludeper-port12-
bit current monitoring ADCs, DAC-programmable current
limit, and versatile fast shut-down of preselected ports.
Advanced power management host software is available
under a no-cost license. PD discovery uses a proprietary
dual-mode 4-point detection mechanism ensuring excel-
lent immunity from false PD detection. Midspan PSEs
are supported with 2-event classification and a 2 second
2-Point Forced Current
