High Efficiency PoE++ PD Controllers Provide up to 90W Delivered Power
MILPITAS, CA – August 27, 2012 – Linear Technology Corporation
introduces the LT4275, LTPoE++™, PoE+ and PoE-compliant powered
device (PD) interface controllers for applications requiring up to
90W of delivered power. PoE+ limits the maximum PD power delivery
to 25.5W, which is insufficient to power today’s new class of
power-hungry applications, such as picocells, base stations,
signage and heated outdoor cameras. Linear Technology’s LTPoE++ standard addresses this
market by expanding the power budget to four different power levels
(38.7W, 52.7W, 70W and 90W), enabling complete high power LTPoE++
systems. The LTPoE++ standard employs a classification scheme that
simply enables LTPoE++ power sourcing equipment (PSE) controllers
and LTPoE++ PD controllers to reliably communicate with one another
while maintaining interoperability with IEEE standard equipment.
The LT4275A (LTPoE++), LT4275B (PoE+) and LT4275C (PoE) efficiently
deliver power to PD loads using just one IC.

Unlike traditional PD controllers that integrate the power MOSFET, the LT4275 controls an external MOSFET to drastically reduce overall PD heat dissipation and maximize power efficiency, especially important at higher power levels. This novel approach allows users to size the MOSFET to their application’s specific heating and efficiency requirements, enabling the use of low RDS(ON) 30mOhm MOSFETs if necessary. The LT4275 recognizes a PSE as either Type 1 hardware complying with the IEEE 802.3af 13W power level, Type 2 hardware, complying with IEEE 802.3at 25.5W power level or LTPoE++ hardware complying with 38.7W to 90W power levels, and passes power accordingly. For efficient power allocation, PD users can configure a classification that represents the PD power usage. A 100V abs max rated input voltage means the LT4275 easily survives and protects PDs from the most common Ethernet line surges. A programmable auxiliary power pin with signature corrupt provides support down to 9V. The LT4275 also includes a power good output, onboard signature resistor, undervoltage lockout and comprehensive thermal protection. |
The LT4275 is offered in industrial and automotive grades,
supporting operating temperature ranges from
-40°C to 85°C and -40°C to 125°C, respectively, and is available in
small RoHS-compliant 10-pin MSOP or
3mm x 3mm DFN packages. The LT4275 is priced starting at $1.45 each
in 1,000-piece quantities and is available in production
quantities. The LT4275 provides an upgrade path from Linear
Technology’s existing PD products, including the LTC4265 PoE+ PD
controller, and seamlessly connects to any of Linear Technology’s
latest PSE controllers, including the single-port LTC4274, 4-port LTC4266 and
12-port LTC4270/71
chipset. For more information, visit www.linear.com/LTPoE++.
