Evaluating the LTC9101-2A/LTC9101-2 and LTC9102 48-Channel IEEE 802.3at/bt PSE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-LTC9101-2 is a 48-channel IEEE 802.3at/bt compli-
ant power sourcing equipment (PSE). The EVAL-LTC9101-2
KIT includes the DC3159A-D or DC3159A-C daughter card,
the DC3017A-B motherboard, and features the LTC9101-2A/
LTC9101-2
and
LTC9102
chipset.
In the EVAL-LTC9101-2 KIT, the daughter card has a single
LTC9101-2A
or
LTC9101-2
digital controller. The DC3159A-D
daughter card has the
LTC9101-2A
LTC9101-2. The digital controller interfaces with four
(12-channel) analog controllers for a total of 48 PSE channels.
