The MAX5969A/MAX5969B provide a complete interface
for a powered device (PD) to comply with the IEEE®
802.3af/at standard in a power-over-Ethernet (PoE) system. The MAX5969A/MAX5969B provide the PD with a
detection signature, classification signature, and an integrated isolation power switch with inrush current control.
During the inrush period, the MAX5969A/MAX5969B limit
the current to less than 180mA before switching to the
higher current limit (720mA to 880mA) when the isolation
power MOSFET is fully enhanced. The devices feature
an input UVLO with wide hysteresis and long deglitch
time to compensate for twisted-pair cable resistive drop
and to assure glitch-free transition during power-on/-off
conditions. The MAX5969A/MAX5969B can withstand up
to 100V at the input.
The MAX5969A/MAX5969B support a 2-event classification method as specified in the IEEE 802.3at standard
and provide a signal to indicate when probed by Type 2
power-sourcing equipment (PSE). The devices detect
the presence of a wall adapter power-source connection and allow a smooth switchover from the PoE power
source to the wall power adapter.
The MAX5969A/MAX5969B also provide a power-good
(PG) signal, two-step current limit and foldback, overtemperature protection, and di/dt limit.
The MAX5969A/MAX5969B are available in a space-saving, 10-pin, 3mm x 3mm, TDFN power package. These
devices are rated over the -40NC to +85NC extended
temperature range.

Detailed Description
Operating Modes
Depending on the input voltage (V
MAX5969A/MAX5969B operate in four different modes:
PD detection, PD classification, mark event, and PD
power. The devices enter PD detection mode when the
input voltage is between 1.4V and 10.1V. The device
enters PD classification mode when the input voltage is
between 12.6V and 20V. The device enters PD power
mode once the input voltage exceeds VON.
Detection Mode (1.4V ≤ VIN ≤ 10.1V)
In detection mode, the PSE applies two voltages on VIN
in the range of 1.4V to 10.1V (1V step minimum) and
then records the current measurements at the two points.
The PSE then computes DV/DI to ensure the presence
of the 24.9kω signature resistor. Connect the signature
resistor (R
) from VDD to DET for proper signature
DET
detection. The MAX5969A/MAX5969B pull DET low in
detection mode. DET goes high impedance when the
MAX5969A/MAX5969B
input voltage exceeds 12.5V. In detection mode, most of
the MAX5969A/MAX5969B internal circuitry is off and the
offset current is less than 10µA.
If the voltage applied to the PD is reversed, install protection diodes at the input terminal to prevent internal
damage to the MAX5969A/MAX5969B (see the Typical Application Circuit). Since the PSE uses a slope technique (DV/DI) to calculate the signature resistance, the
DC offset due to the protection diodes is subtracted and
does not affect the detection process.
= VDD - VSS), the
IN
Classification Mode (12.6V ≤ VIN ≤ 20V)
In the classification mode, the PSE classifies the PD
based on the power consumption required by the PD. This
allows the PSE to efficiently manage power distribution.
Class 0 to 5 is defined as shown in Table 1. (The IEEE
802.3af/at standard defines only Class 0 to 4 and Class 5
for any special requirement.) An external resistor (R
CLS
connected from CLS to VSS sets the classification current.
The PSE determines the class of a PD by applying a voltage at the PD input and measuring the current sourced
out of the PSE. When the PSE applies a voltage between
12.6V and 20V, the MAX5969A/MAX5969B exhibit a current characteristic with a value shown in Table 1. The
PSE uses the classification current information to classify
the power requirement of the PD. The classification current includes the current drawn by R
and the supply
CLS
current of the MAX5969A/MAX5969B so the total current
drawn by the PD is within the IEEE 802.3af/at standard
figures. The classification current is turned off whenever
the device is in power mode.
2-Event Classification and Detection
During 2-event classification, a Type 2 PSE probes PD
for classification twice. In the first classification event,
the PSE presents an input voltage between 12.6V and
20.5V and the MAX5969A/MAX5969B present the programmed load I
. The PSE then drops the probing
CLASS
voltage below the mark event threshold of 10.1V and
the MAX5969A/MAX5969B present the mark current
(I
). This sequence is repeated one more time.

*VIN is measured across the MAX5969A/MAX5969B input VDD to VSS.
When the MAX5969A/MAX5969B are powered by a Type 2
PSE, the 2-event identification output 2EC asserts low

turned on. 2EC current sink is turned off when VDD goes

Alternatively, the 2EC output also serves as a wall adapter detection output when the MAX5969A/MAX5969B are
powered by an external wall power adapter. See the Wall Power Adapter Detection and Operation section for more
information.
The MAX5969A/MAX5969B enter power mode when VIN
rises above the undervoltage lockout threshold (VON).
When VIN rises above VON, the MAX5969A/MAX5969B
turn on the internal n-channel isolation MOSFET to connect VSS to RTN with inrush current limit internally set
to 135mA (typ). The isolation MOSFET is fully turned on
when the voltage at RTN is near VSS and the inrush current is reduced below the inrush limit. Once the isolation
MOSFET is fully turned on, the MAX5969A/MAX5969B
change the current limit to 800mA. The open-drain

Thermal-Shutdown Protection
The MAX5969A/MAX5969B include thermal protection
from excessive heating. If the junction temperature
exceeds the thermal-shutdown threshold of +140NC,
the MAX5969A/MAX5969B turn off the internal power
MOSFET and 2EC current sink. When the junction temperature falls below +112NC, the devices enter inrush
mode and then return to power mode. Inrush mode
ensures the downstream DC-DC converter is turned off
as the internal power MOSFET is turned on.
Wall Power Adapter Detection
For applications where an auxiliary power source such
as a wall power adapter is used to power the PD,
the MAX5969A/MAX5969B feature wall power adapter
detection. Once the input voltage (VDD - VSS) exceeds
the mark event threshold, the MAX5969A/MAX5969B
enable wall adapter detection. The wall power adapter is connected from WAD to RTN. The MAX5969A/
MAX5969B detect the wall power adapter when the
voltage from WAD to RTN is greater than 9V. When a
wall power adapter is detected, the internal n-channel
isolation MOSFET turns off, 2EC current sink turns on,
and classification current is disabled if VIN is in the classification range.
