U APPLICATIO S - IEEE 802.3af pliant Endpoint and Midspan Power Sources - IP Phone Systems - DTE Power Distribution The LTC®4259A-1 is a quad - 48V Hot Swap TM controller designed for use in IEEE 802.3af pliant Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). It consists of four independent ports, each with output current limit, short-circuit protection, plete Powered Device (PD) detection and classification capability, and programmable PD disconnect using AC or DC sensing. Used with power MOSFETs and passives as in Figure 1, the LTC4259A-1 can implement a plete IEEE 802.3af-pliant PSE. The LTC4259A-1 can operate autonomously or be controlled by an I2C serial interface. Up to 16 LTC4259A-1s may coexist on the same data bus, allowing up to 64 powered Ethernet ports to be controlled with only two digital lines. Fault conditions are optionally signaled with a programmable INT pin to eliminate software polling. External power MOSFETs, current sense resistors and diodes allow easy scaling of current and power dissipation levels and provide protection against voltage and current spikes and ESD events. Linear Technology also provides solutions for 802.3af PD applications with the LTC4257, LTC4257-1 and LTC4267. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
