GENERAL DESCRIPTION
During the inrush period, the MAX5982A/MAX5982B/MAX5982C limit the current to less than 182mA before switching to the higher current limit (1700mA to 2100mA) when the isolation power MOSFET is fully enhanced. The MAX5982A/MAX5982B/MAX5982C can withstand up to 100V at the input. The MAX5982A/MAX5982B/MAX5982C support a 2-Event classification method as specified in the IEEE 802.3at standard and provide a signal to indicate when probed by a Type 2 power sourcing equipment (PSE). The devices detect the presence of a wall adapter power source connection and allow a smooth switchover from the PoE power source to the wall power adapter. The MAX5982A/MAX5982B/MAX5982C also provide a power-good (PG) signal, two-step current limit and foldback, overtemperature protection, and di/dt limit. A sleep mode feature in the MAX5982A/MAX5982B provides low power consumption while supporting Maintain Power Signature (MPS). An ultra-low-power sleep mode feature in the MAX5982A/MAX5982B further reduces power consumption while still supporting MPS.
