Acting as an interface between the power sourcing equipment (PSE) and the powered device (PD), An internal 0.3-Ω FET provides maximum power delivery. At low input voltages (1.8 V to 10 V), the TPS2370 draws less than 12 µA, allowing accurate sensing of the external 24.9-kΩ discovery resistor. At input voltages between 15 V and 20 V, an external resistor sets the level of current to be drawn during classification mode. TPS2370 is compatible with current as well as voltage measurement schemes for classification.
