PM8800A
HTSSOP16
Description
The PM8800A integrates a standard 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 interface incorporates all the functions
required by the IEEE 802.3af including detection,
classification, under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and
in-rush current limitation.
PM8800A specifically targets PD with extended
power requirement with respect to the limit
imposed by the 802.3af standard, embedding a
hot-swap MOSFET capable of sustaining twice
the current of the 802.3af standard with a
programmable DC current limit.
The integrated switching regulator has been
designed to work with power either form the
Ethernet cable connection or from an external
power source such as AC adapter.
The DC-DC section of the PM8800A features a
programmable oscillator frequency, soft-start,
slope compensation and embeds a voltage output
error amplifier allowing use in both isolated and
non isolated configuration.

An external capacitor connected from SS and AGND and an internal
10 µA current source set the soft-start ramp rate. this pin is also used to set the
hiccup timer in case of overcurrent conditions. See Section 6 for detail.
Auxiliary source enable pin.
Use this pin to power up the DC/DC section only from the external source. The
auxiliary source can prevail over the PoE source depending on the value of the
resistor between this pin and the external source. See Section 7 for detail.
System high potential input.
The diode “OR” of PoE line and auxiliary sources connected to the PD, it is the
most positive input potential.
Classification resistor pin.
Connect a classification programming resistor between this pin and VSS.
In-rush current limit and auxiliary source enable pin.
Pulling up this pin to the auxiliary source will change the internal UVLO settings
and allow PD to be powered with voltage lower than nominal PoE voltages. In this
condition inrush current limit is set to default values. See Section 7 for details.
A resistance between this pin and VSS will set the level of inrush current limit.

System return for the PWM converter.
It is the drain of the internal hot-swap power MOSFET.
Output of the internal high voltage regulator.
When the auxiliary transformer winding (if used) raises the voltage on this pin
above the regulation set point, the internal regulator will be switched off, reducing
the controller power dissipation.
Power good, active low signal.
A high to low transition indicates that the inrush current phase has been
completed, the internal hot swap MOSFET is fully closed and the SMPS portion of
the PM8800A is activated.
Current sense input.
Current sense input for current mode control and over-current protection. Current
limiting is obtained with a dedicated current sense comparator. If the CS pin
voltage exceeds 0.5 V the GD pin switches low for cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Leading edge blanking is implemented to mask current spikes.
The output of the error amplifier and input of the Pulse Width Modulator.
COMP pull-up is provided by an internal 2.5 kΩ resistor which may be used to
bias an opto-coupler transistor.
Feedback signal.
Inverting input of the internal error amplifier. The non-inverting input is internally
connected to a 1.25 V reference.
If not used must be grounded to AGND.
Analog PWM supply return.
GND for sensitive analog circuitry including the SMPS current limit circuitry. Must
be connected to GND to improve noise immunity.
EP
Exposed pad.
Connect this to a board plane to improve heat dissipation; must be electrically
