Analog Devices Inc. LTC4291/LTC4292 4-Port PoE PSE Controllers

Analog Devices Inc. LTC4291/LTC®4292 chipsets include isolated 4-port power sourcing equipment (PSE) controllers designed for use in IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. The LTC4291/LTC4292 Controllers offer four independent PSE ports comprised of two channels each, ensuring fully compliant support for the next generation of IEEE 802.3bt powered devices (PDs). The LTC4291 series includes a digital interface to the PSE host, while the Analog Devices LTC4292 series implements the high-voltage Ethernet power interface. The two ICs communicate using an Ethernet transformer. The transformer-isolated communication protocol replaces up to six optocouplers and a complex isolated 3.3V supply used in traditional designs.

The LTC4291/LTC4292 devices operate seamlessly with compliant 802.3bt PD controllers. The LTC4292/LTC4291 PoE PSE Controllers achieve extremely low heat dissipation by using low-RDS(ON) external MOSFETs and 0.15Ω sense resistance per power channel. PD discovery is accomplished using a multi-point voltage and current detection mechanism, ensuring the best immunity from false PD detection. Using the LTC4291/LTC4292 PoE PSE Controllers can deliver up to 71.3W of power to single-signature or dual-signature PDs.
