The LTC
4259 is a quad – 48V Hot SwapTM controller de-
signed for use in IEEE 802.3af compliant Power Sourc-
ing Equipment (PSE). It consists of four independent
channels, each with inrush control, short-circuit protection,
complete 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 LTC4259 can implement a complete IEEE
802.3af compliant PSE.
The LTC4259 can operate autonomously or be controlled by
an I2C serial interface. Up to 16 LTC4259s 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 signaled with the INT pin to eliminate software polling.
External power switches, 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.
The LTC4259 is available in a 36-pin SSOP package.
Linear Technology also provides solutions for 802.3af
powered device (PD) applications with the LTC4257.
