interface functions for a device operating in an IEEE
802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) system. The LTC4257
simplifies Powered Device (PD) design by incorporating
the 25k signature resistor, the classification current source,
input current limit with thermal foldback, undervoltage
lockout and power good signalling, all in a single 8-pin
package. By incorporating a high voltage power MOSFET
onboard, the LTC4257 provides the system designer with
reduced cost while also saving board space.
The LTC4257 can interface directly with a variety of Linear
Technology DC/DC converter products to provide a cost
effective power solution for IP phones, wireless access
points and other PDs. Linear Technology also provides
solutions for Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) applica-
tions with quad network power controllers.
The LTC4257 is available in the 8-pin SO and low profile
(3mm
×
3mm) DFN packages.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All voltages are with respect to GND pin.
Note 3:
The LTC4257 operates with a negative supply voltage in the range
of –1.5V to –57V. To avoid confusion, voltages in this data sheet are
always referred to in terms of absolute magnitude. Terms such as
“maximum negative voltage” refer to the largest negative voltage and a
“rising negative voltage” refers to a voltage that is becoming more
negative.
Note 4:
The LTC4257 is designed to work with two polarity protection
diodes between the PSE and PD. Parameter ranges specified in the
Electrical Characteristics are with respect to LTC4257 pins and are
designed to meet IEEE 802.3af specifications when these diode drops are
included. See Applications Information.
Note 5:
Signature resistance is measured via the 2-point
∆V/∆I
method as
defined by IEEE 802.3af. The LTC4257 signature resistance is offset from
25k to account for diode resistance. With two series diodes, the total PD
resistance will be between 23.75k and 26.25k and meet IEEE 802.3af
specifications. The minimum probe voltages measured at the LTC4257
pins are –1.5V and –2.5V. The maximum probe voltages are –8.5V and
–9.5V.
Note 6:
The LTC4257 includes hysteresis in the UVLO voltages to preclude
any start-up oscillation. Per IEEE 802.3af requirements, the LTC4257 will
power up from a voltage source with 20Ω series resistance on the first
trial.
Note 7:
I
IN_CLASS
does not include classification current programmed at
Pin 2. Total supply current in classification mode will be I
IN_CLASS
+ I
CLASS
(see Note 8).
Note 8:
I
CLASS
is the measured current flowing through R
CLASS
.
∆I
CLASS
accuracy is with respect to the ideal current defined as
I
CLASS
= 1.237/R
CLASS
. The current accuracy specification does not
include variations in R
CLASS
resistance. The total classification current for
a PD also includes the IC quiescent current (I
IN_CLASS
). See Applications
Information.
Note 9:
For the DD package, this parameter is assured by design and
wafer level testing.
Note 10:
I
OUT_LEAK
includes current drawn at the V
OUT
pin by the power
good status circuit. This current is compensated for in the 25kΩ signature
resistance and does not affect PD operation.
Note 11:
The LTC4257 includes smart thermal protection. In the event of
an overtemperature condition, the LTC4257 will reduce the input current
limit by 50% to reduce the power dissipation in the package. If the part
continues heating and reaches the shutdown temperature, the current is
reduced to zero until the part cools below the overtemperature limit. The
LTC4257 is also protected against thermal damage from incorrect
classification probing by the PSE. If the LTC4257 exceeds the
overtemperature trip point, the classification load current is disabled.
