High Efficiency IEEE802.3bt (PoE
40W) PD with PoE Ideal Diode Bridge
Description
Demonstration circuit 2475A-A is an IEEE802.3bt (Draft 2.0)
compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered device(PD).
It features the LT
controller with the LT4321 PoE ideal diode bridge controller.
The LT4295 provides IEEE802.3af (PoE, Type 1),
IEEE802.3at (PoE+, Type 2), and IEEE802.3bt (PoE++,
Type3 and 4) compliant interfacing and power supply
control. It utilizes an external, low R
cal) N-channel FET for the Hot Swap function to improve
efficiency. The
utilizes a highly efficient flyback topology with synchro
nous rectification.
The LT4321 controls eight low R
N-channel FETs 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 DC2475A-A accepts up to 40W of delivered power
from a power sourcing equipment (PSE) via the RJ45
connector (J1) or a local 48VDC power supply using the
auxiliary supply input. When both supplies are connected,
the auxiliary supply input has priority over the PoE input.
The DC2475A-A supplies a 12V output at up to 3A.
