PD-IM-7508 Evaluation Board - User Guide
2 Introduction
Microsemi’s Evaluation Board PD-IM-7508 provides the designer with the environment to evaluate the performance
and the implementation of 8-port Power over Ethernet (PoE), based on Microsemi’s PoE Devices (PD39100 &
PD69108).
Evaluation Board assists Switch designers to evaluate an IEEE- 802.3af-2003 and IEEE802.3at-2009PoE based
solution, with maximum flexibility and ease in configuration.
Microsemi’s PD69108 is a 8-port, mix-signal, high-voltage Power over Ethernet (PoE) Manager designed to support
IEEE- 802.3af-2003 and IEEE802.3at-2009 PoE applications.
