Si3404 Data Sheet

Fully-Integrated IEEE 802.3 Type 1-Compliant POE PD Interface

and High-Efficiency Switching Regulator with Compact Footprint

The Si3404 integrates the power management and control functions required in a Pow-

er-over-Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) application. These devices convert the

high voltage supplied over the 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connection to a regulated,

low-voltage output supply. The optimized architecture of this device minimizes the solu-

tion footprint and external BOM cost and enables the use of low-cost external compo-

nents while maintaining high performance. The Si3404 integrates a transient surge

suppressor. The switching power FET and associated functions are also integrated.

The integrated, current mode controlled switching regulator supports isolated or non-

isolated flyback and buck converter topologies. The switching frequency for the regula-

tor is tunable with a simple external resistor value to help avoid unwanted harmonics

for better emissions control.

This device fully supports the IEEE 802.3at specification for Type 1, single-event classi-

fication. Standard external resistors provide the proper IEEE 802.3 signatures for the

detection function and programming of the classification mode, and internal startup cir-

cuits ensure well-controlled soft-start initial operation of both the hotswap switch and

the voltage regulator.

The Si3404 is available in a low-profile, 20-pin, 4 x 4 mm QFN package.

2.2 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Line-Side Interface

The PoE line interface consists of external diode bridges, internal surge protection, and protocol interface support for detection and

classification.

The chip features active protection against surge transients and accidentally applied telephony voltages.

2.2.1 Surge Protection

The surge protection circuit is activated if the VPOS-VNEG voltage exceeds VPROT and the hotswap switch is off (dc-dc is not pow-

ered). If the hotswap switch is on, the surge power is sunk in the dc-dc’s input capacitance.

The internal surge protection can be overridden with an external TVS if higher than specified surge conditions need be tolerated. The

external surge device must be connected in parallel to the internal one; therefore, the designer must ensure that the external surge

protection will activate prior to the internal surge protection.

2.2.2 Telephony Protection

The Si3404 provides protection against telephony ringing voltage. The telephony ringing is much longer than the surge pulse but it has

less energy, therefore, the Si3404 has a switch parallel with the supply (between VPOS and VNEG). When the protection circuit is acti-

vated, it turns ON the protection switch; the ringing energy then dissipates on this switch and ringing generator resistance (> 400 Ω).

2.2.3 Detection and Classification

When the Si3404 is connected via Ethernet cable to a PSE-enabled Ethernet switch, it has to provide a characteristic resistance (~25

kΩ) to the PSE in a given voltage range (2.7–10.1 V). This is called detection. After the PSE detects the PD, the PSE increases the

voltage above the classification threshold 14.5 V. Then, the PD provides the classification current to inform the PSE about its required

power class (Class 1, 2, 3, or 4). Type 1 PSEs cannot provide enough power for a Class 4 PD. Type 2 PSEs have additional voltage

steps before switching on the PD. After an initial classification voltage pulse, the Type 2 PSE reduces the voltage below the mark

threshold level (10 V) then raises it up again to the Class event range. Last, before switching ON the dc-dc, it reduces the voltage

again.

The Si3404 is a Type 1 PD. The following figure represents the typical turning ON procedure of the PD, which includes detection, clas-

sification and PD turn ON.

2.3 Hotswap Switch

The hotswap switch is a high voltage switch which separates the PoE inerface from the dc-dc converter domain. The internal hotswap

switch (HSSW) is turned on (conducting) when the PoE interface voltage goes above VUVLO_R. It provides limited inrush current until

the dc-dc side capacitor is charged. The hotswap switch turns off (open) if voltage on the HSSW switch is greater than VHSSW_OFF.

In overload, the hotswap switch goes into current-limiting mode with a current limit of IOVL. It will turn back ON after TWAITHSSW elapses

and the dc-dc input capacitor is recharged, meaning the HSO-VNEG voltage is less than VHSSW_ON.

2.4 HSSW State Machine

The HSSW operates as simple 4-state state machine:

INRUSH ON

170 mA

10 mA

Transitions

1. UVLO released.

2. Input capacitor charged; PWM starts with Soft-Start protection.

3. Overcurrent detected; going to Overload state.

4. Overcurrent not present; going back to ON state.

5. Turning OFF the PD.

OFF State

HSSW turn-on is controlled by UVLO, the undervoltage lockout feature. When UVLO is engaged, the HSSW is OFF. In this state, the

HSSW is in idle mode, VNEG and HSO pins are disconnected. In normal operation, a complete detect/classification procedure pre-

cedes the HSSW turn-on, and the control of this sequence is implemented in the state machine logic of the chip.

INRUSH State

After the controller enables the HSSW, the block starts operation in the INRUSH state. In this state the switch itself is not directly turned

on, but operating in a closed-loop current limit mode to avoid high current peaks during the charging of the input capacitor of the dc-dc

converter.

If the VHSSW voltage drops below 380 mV (meaning the bypass cap is 99% charged), the HSSW will change state to ON.

ON State

In ON state, the HSSW switch is completely turned on. The HSSW circuit continuously monitors VHSSW. HSSW will change to OVER-

LOAD state if VHSSW voltage increases over 3.5 V.

OVERLOAD State

In OVERLOAD state the HSSW operates in closed-loop low current limit mode. If the VHSSW voltage drops below 380 mV again, and

the HSSW has been in the OVERLOAD state for at least TWAITHSSW, the HSSW will change back to the ON state.

2.5 DC-DC Converter

The dc-dc converter is current-controlled for easier compensation and more robust protection of circuit magnetics. The controller has

the following features:

• High- and low-side error amplifier (supports Buck and Flyback topologies).

• <1 Ω internal switching FET

• Overcurrent detection

• Cycle skipping at low current and short circuit conditions

Figure 2.4. Si3404 DC-DC Converter Block Diagram

Feedback to the dc-dc converter can be provided in three ways:

•High side, referenced to VPOS, connected to FBH pin (Buck converter)

• Low side, referenced to VSS, connected to FBL pin (nonisolated Flyback)

• Directly to EROUT pin by a voltage to current converter (isolated Flyback)

The EROUT pin provides current output (if FBL or FBH is used) and voltage input. Also, the loop compensation impedance is connec-

ted to EROUT. The active voltage range is VEROUT, which is proportional to the converter peak current.

The converter startup is not configurable; soft start is accomplished by internal circuitry. Soft start time is TSOFTSTART. The intelligent

soft start circuit dynamically adjusts the soft start time depending on the connected load.

2.5.1 Average Current Sensing, Overcurrent, Low-Current Detection, and Output Short Protection

The application average current is sensed by an external resistor (RSENSE) connected between VSS and ISNS. Overcurrent is detected

and triggered when the voltage on the sense resistor exceeds VISNS_OVC. Sizing the resistor allows the designer to set the overcurrent

limit according to application needs. When overcurrent is triggered, the dc-dc controller goes into reset until the overcurrent resolves.

When the overcurrent is no longer present, the controller starts up again with softstart.

The Si3404 integrates an output short protection. If the output is shorted for more than 1 ms, the controller will detect a high EROUT

signal for more than 1 ms, which will reset the dc-dc controller. A new startup cycle with soft-start turn ON will follow.

2.6 Tunable Oscillator

The dc-dc frequency can be fixed to 250 kHz or tunable by an external resistor.

The tuning resistor must be connected between the RFREQ pin and VPOS. If RFREQ is shorted to VPOS, the fixed frequency oscillator

will provide the clock, FOSCINT, to the dc-dc converter; otherwise, the resistor will determine the frequency as shown in the curve below.

Figure 2.5. RFREQ Frequency Selector Diagram

2.7 Regulators

The chip provides a 5 V output to power LEDs or optocouplers. This is a closed-loop regulator, which ensures accurate output voltage.

The 5 V regulator is supplied by an internal 11 V open loop regulator. The 11 V regulator is supplied by a coarse regulator, which is also

open-loop. With the Si3404, the VT15 pin can be used to supply this regulator from an optional auxiliary transformer bias winding. The

advantage of doing so is additional power saving. The application must be designed to ensure that the absolute maximum rating volt-

age for the VT15 pin is not exceeded.

2.8 External Wall Adapter Support

The Si3404 allows the use of a range of external wall adapters as a primary or secondary supply. For details on adapter connection,

please refer to "AN1130: Using the Si3406/Si34061/Si34062 PoE+ and Si3404 PoE PD Controller In Isolated and Non-Isolated De-

signs".
