DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2911A is an IEEE 802.3bt compli-
ant and LTPoE ++ interoperable Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Powered Device (PD). It features the
controller and the
LT4321
The LT4293 provides LTPoE ++ , IEEE 802.3af (PoE,
Type 1), IEEE 802.3at (PoE + , Type 2), and IEEE 802.3bt
(PoE ++ , Type 3 and 4) compliant interfacing. It utilizes an
external, low R
(30mΩ typical) N-channel MOSFET
DS(ON)
for the Hot Swap function to improve efficiency.
Power good (PWRGD) output indicates the PD control-
ler is ready to provide power to the downstream load.
This signal can be used to enable an isolated power sup-
ply. The T2P output indicates the available power from
the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). This signal

DEMO MANUAL DC2911A
IEEE 802.3bt and LTPoE ++
Interoperable Powered Device
communicates allocated power from either LTPoE ++
or IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PSEs to the downstream
PD circuitry.
The LT4321 controls eight low R
N-channel MOSFETs to further improve end-to-end power
delivery efficiency and ease thermal design. This solution
replaces the eight diodes typically found in a passive PoE
rectifier bridge.
The DC2911A accepts up to 90W of delivered power from
a PSE via the RJ45 connector (J1) or a local 48V DC
power supply using the auxiliary supply input. When both
supplies are connected, the auxiliary supply input has
priority over the PoE input.
