Demonstration circuit 2911A is an IEEE 802.3bt compliant and LTPoE++ interoperable Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD). It features the LT4293 PD interface controller and the LT4321 PoE ideal diode bridge controller. The LT4293 provides LTPoE++, IEEE 802.3af (PoE, Type 1), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+, Type 2), and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++, Type 3 and 4) compliant interfacing. It utilizes an external, low RDS(ON) (30mΩ typical) N-channel MOSFET for the Hot Swap function to improve efficiency. Power good (PWRGD) output indicates the PD controller is ready to provide power to the downstream load. This signal can be used to enable an isolated power supply. The T2P output indicates the available power from the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). This signal communicates allocated power from either LTPoE++ or IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PSEs to the downstream PD circuitry. The LT4321 controls eight low RDS(ON) (57mΩ typical) N-channel MOSFETs to further improve end-to-end power delivery efficiency and ease thermal design. This solution replaces the eight diodes typically found in a passive PoE rectifier bridge. The DC2911A accepts up to 90W of delivered power from a PSE via the RJ45 connector (J1) or a local 48V DC power supply using the auxiliary supply input. When both supplies are connected, the auxiliary supply input has priority over the PoE input.

Demonstration circuit 2932A hosts a high accuracy RMS power detector featuring the LTC5597 IC.

Moreover, the LTC5597 offers unprecedented sensitivity, capable of detecting signals of –37dBm typical. Additionally, it has outstanding input dynamic range up to 35dB, achieving 1dB accuracy, depending on frequency. The detector output voltage slope is normally 29mV/dB. The PCB layout employs the recommended microstrip transmission line structure, as well as the recommended endpoint transitions. Input impedance to LTC5597 is internally matched to 50Ω. It is suitable for RMS measurements of high crest factor waveforms up to 12dB peak/average ratio. No external coupling capacitor is necessary if DC voltage at RFIN pin is kept below 1V.

The LTC4246 contains eight switches, each with an independent circuit breaker function. It is particularly well suited for extremely space constrained designs. Each switch can operate completely autonomously or be arbitrarily grouped with other switches that will respond together to the fault of any single device within its group. Optionally, channel grouping may be extended to multiple LTC4246 devices by selecting the FIN# (fault input) pin as part of a channel group. A required bias supply between 2.5V to 5V allows the switches to independently operate from 13.2V down to 0V. The LTC4246 provides an SPI serial interface to enable, disable and configure the timing and current thresholds of each channel as well as provide status to each channel?s fault state.A common open-drain FAULT status output indicates if any switch has opened due to a circuit breaker event.APPLICATIONSATE Wafer Probe ElectronicsScope Probe ProtectionIndustrial ControlRelay Replacement
