Analog Devices Linear DC1366B Demo Manual

DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC1366B features the
quad network power controller with I
for use in IEEE 802.3at compliant Power Sourcing Equip-
ment (PSE). Integrated into a tiny 5mm × 7mm 38-pin
QFN package are four independent channels controlling
external N-channel power MOSFETs. Each port features:
Reliable 4-Point PD Detection

IEEE 802.3at PoE
Quad PSE Controller
The DC1366B is configured like a midspan PSE with two
RJ45 connectors for each port such that gigabit Ethernet
data can pass through the board at full line rates while
DC power is injected by the LTC4266 on the OUT TO PD
side of the board.
Often one of the most challenging aspects of designing a
PSE system is the power management software; Analog
Devices makes the job easier with the fully-featured
LTC4266 register set and a QuikEval™ GUI software ap-
plication. The GUI allows the user full and easy access to
the LTC4266 register set with detailed contextual help info.
LTC4266 example software is available only under a non-
disclosure agreement (NDA).
The DC1366B has increased surge protection and more
compact Hot Swap MOSFETs over the DC1366A. The
DC1366B is Ethernet Alliance™ certified.
