Detailed Description
PD Interface
The devices include complete interface functions for a
PD to comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard as a Class
1/Class 2 PD. The devices provide the detection and
classification signatures using a single external signa-
ture resistor. An integrated MOSFET provides isolation
from the buck converter when the PSE has not applied
power. The devices guarantee a leakage current offset of
less than 10礎(chǔ) during the detection phase. The devices
feature power-mode undervoltage-lockout (UVLO) with
wide hysteresis and long deglitch time to compensate for
twisted-pair-cable resistive drop and to ensure glitch-free
transitions between detection, classification, and power-
on/-off modes.
Operating Modes
The devices operate in three different modes depending
on V
DD
. The three modes are detection mode, classifica-
tion mode, and power mode. The device is in detection
mode when V
DD
is between 1.4V and 10.1V, classifica-
tion mode when V
DD
is between 12.6V and 20V, and
power mode when the input voltage exceeds V
ON
.
Detection Mode (1.4V < V
DD
< 10.1V)
In detection mode, the devices provide a signature
differential resistance to V
DD
. During detection, the
power-sourcing equipment (PSE) applies two voltages to
V
DD
, both between 1.4V and 10.1V with a minimum 1V
increment. The PSE computes the differential resistance
to ensure the presence of the 24.9k?signature resis-
tor. Connect the 24.9k?signature resistor (R
SIG
) from
RREF to GND for proper signature detection. The device
applies V
DD
to RREF when in detection mode, and the
V
DD
offset current due to the device is less than 10礎(chǔ).
The DC offset due to protection diodes does not signifi-
cantly affect the signature resistance measurement.
Classification Mode (12.6V < V
DD
< 20V)
In classification mode, the devices sink Class 1/Class 2
classification currents. The PSE applies a classification
voltage between 12.6V and 20V, and measures the clas-
sification currents. The devices use the external 24.9k?
resistor (R
SIG
) and the CLASS2 pin to set the classifica-
tion current at 10.5mA (Class 1) or 18.5mA (Class 2). The
MAX5986A only provides the Class 1 operation, while the
MAX5986B/MAX5987A provide either Class 1 (CLASS2 =
GND) or Class 2 (CLASS2 = VDRV). The PSE uses this to
determine the maximum power to deliver. The classifica-
tion current includes current drawn by the supply current
of the device so the total current drawn by the PD is with-
in the IEEE 802.3af standard. The classification current
is turned off when the device leaves classification mode.
Power Mode (V
DD
> V
ON
)
In power mode, the devices have the isolation MOSFET
between V
DD
and V
CC
fully on. The MAX5987A has
the buck regulator enabled and the LDO enabled. The
MAX5986AMAX5986C can be in either wake mode,
sleep mode, or ultra-low power mode. The buck regulator
is enabled when the MAX5986AMAX5986C is in wake
mode.
The devices enter power mode when V
DD
rises above
the undervoltage lockout threshold (V
ON
). When V
DD
rises above V
ON
, the device turns on the internal p-chan-
nel isolation MOSFET to connect V
CC
to V
DD
with inrush
current limit internally set to 49mA (typ). The isolation
MOSFET is fully turned on when V
CC
is near V
DD
and the
inrush current is below the inrush limit. Once the isolation
MOSFET is fully turned on, the device changes the cur-
rent limit to 201mA (MAX5986A) or 323mA (MAX5986B/
MAX5986C/MAX5987A). The buck converter turns on
90ms (MAX5986A) or 123ms (MAX5986B/MAX5986C/
MAX5987A) after the isolation MOSFET turns on fully.
Undervoltage Lockout
The devices operate with up to a 60V supply voltage with
a turn-on UVLO threshold (V
ON
) at 35.4V/38.7V (typ),
and a turn-off UVLO threshold (V
OFF
) at 31.4V (typ).
When the input voltage is above V
ON
, the device enters
power mode and the internal isolation MOSFET is turned
on. When the input voltage is below V
OFF
for more than
t
OFF_DLY
, the MOSFET and the buck converter are off.
LED Driver (MAX5986AMAX5986C)
The MAX5986AMAX5986C drive an LED, or multiple
LEDs in series, with a maximum LED voltage of 6.5V.
In sleep mode and ultra-low power mode, the LED cur-
rent is pulse width modulated with a duty cycle of 25%
and the amplitude is set by R
SL
. The LED driver current
amplitude is programmable from 10mA to 20mA using R
SL
according to the formula:
I
LED
= 646/R
SL
(mA)
where R
SL
is in k?
