Description
The PM8801 integrates a standard compliant
Power over Ethernet (PoE) interface and a
current mode PWM controller to simplify the
design of the power supply sections of all
powered devices.
The PoE/PoE+ interface incorporates all the
functions required by the IEEE 802.3at including
detection, classification, undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) and inrush current limitation.
The PM8801 specifically performs IEEE802.3at
Layer1 hardware classification, providing an
indication of type 2 PSE successful detection to
the rest of the system.
The PM8801 has been designed to work with
power either from the Ethernet cable connection
or from an external power source such as a wall
adapter, ensuring prevalence of the auxiliary
source with respect to the PoE interface.
The DC/DC section of the PM8801 features a
programmable oscillator frequency, an adjustable
slope compensation, dual complementary low-
side drivers with programmable delay time and
internal temperature sensor.
The PM8801 targets high-efficiency conversion at
all load conditions supporting flyback, forward,
forward activ e cla mp and synchr on ous
rectification.
