Ag5800 Evaluation Board Ag5800 PD Module Introduction This manual is intended to be a guide to using the “EVALAg5800 evaluation board” with the following Silver Telecom IEEE802.3bt PD module: - Ag5800 The board is designed to handle 10/100/1000/10GBASE-T Ethernet data rates.
Due to the amount of power and high currents involved in the IEEE802.3bt standard we would recommend using SMC package Schottky diodes with low reverse leakage current to be used as diode bridges. The EvalAg5800 is fitted with SS36 Schottky diodes configured as a diode bridge.
Legacy PSE’s such as PoH or Phihongs 12.5K signature PSE. 5.3.1 Powered from POH PSE If the EvalAg5800 is connected to a PoH (Power Over HDBaseT) PSE then by fitting a link to LK5 will alter the classification that the Ag5800 displays allowing the PSE to send the full amount of power to the Ag5800.
The Ag5800 has two DC outputs that must be connected in parallel or in series. The outputs cannot be run independently so the EVALAg5800 board has copper pads, LK3 and LK6, which should be soldered appropriately for the selected voltage variant required.
Full operating conditions and feature set can be found in the Ag5800 product datasheet, available from www.silvertel.com. 6 Set-up 6.1 Power Supply Input Figure 4 shows the basic set up using SilverTel’s EVALAG6800 evaluation board along with the EVALAG5800 evaluation board with a power supply input to JP1.
Ag6800 Eval Board. The Data and power is extracted through J100 of the EVALAg5800 board and then divided into its separate power and data through the data transformer. The data output is then available from J100 of the EvalAg5800 Board, which can then be connected to your device.
