DESCRIPTION

The TPS23754/6 is a combined Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) interface and current-mode dc/dc controller optimized specifically for isolated converters. The PoE interface supports the IEEE 802.3at (draft) standard.
TPS23754
TPS23754-1
TPS23756
The TPS23754/6 supports a number of input voltage ORing options including highest voltage, external adapter preference, and PoE preference. These features allow the designer to determine which power source will carry the load under all conditions.
The PoE interface features the new extended hardware classification necessary for compatibility with high-power midspan power sourcing equipment (PSE) per IEEE 802.3at (draft). The detection signature pin can also be used to force power from the PoE source off. Classification can be programmed to any of the defined types with a single resistor.
The dc/dc controller features two complementary gate drivers with programmable dead time. This simplifies design of active-clamp forward converters or optimized gate drive for highly-efficient flyback topologies. The second gate driver may be disabled if desired for single MOSFET topologies. The controller also features internal softstart, bootstrap startup source, current-mode compensation, 78% maximum duty cycle. A programmable and synchronizable oscillator allows design optimization for efficiency and eases use of the controller to upgrade existing power supply designs. Accurate programmable blanking, with a default period, simplifies the usual current-sense filter design trade-offs.
The TPS23754 has a 15 V converter startup while the TPS23756 has a 9 V converter startup. The TPS23754-1 replaces the PPD pin with a no-connect for increased pin spacing.

This device contains circuits to protect its inputs and outputs against damage due to high static voltages or electrostatic fields. These circuits have been qualified to protect this device against electrostatic discharges (ESD) of up to 2 kV according to MIL-STD-883C, Method 3015; however, it is advised that precautions be taken to avoid application of any voltage higher than maximum-rated voltages to these high-impedance circuits. During storage or handling the device leads should be shorted together or the device should be placed in conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to an appropriate voltage level, preferably either the proper supply or ground. Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and Assemblies available from Texas Instruments.

PIN DESCRIPTION

Refer to Figure 1 for component reference designators (R for values denoted by reference (V
for example). Electrical Characteristic values take precedence over any
CSMAX
numerical values used in the following sections.
APD
APD forces power to come from an external adapter connected from V switch, disabling the CLS output (see PPD pin description), and enabling the T2P output. A resistor divider is recommended on APD when it is connected to an external adapter. The divider provides ESD protection, leakage discharge for the adapter ORing diode, and input voltage qualification. Voltage qualification assures the adapter output voltage is high enough that it can support the PD before the PoE current is cut off.
Select the APD divider resistors per Equation 1 where V APD function as adapter voltage rises.
Place the APD pull-down resistor adjacent to the APD pin. APD should be tied to ARTN when not used.

BLNK

Blanking provides an interval between GATE going high and the current-control comparators on CS actively monitoring the input. This delay allows the normal turn-on current transient (spike) to subside before the comparators are active, preventing undesired short duty cycles and premature current limiting.
Connect BLNK to ARTN to obtain the internally set blanking period. Connect a resistor from BLNK to ARTN for a more accurate, programmable blanking period. The relationship between the desired blanking period and the programming resistor is defined by Equation 2 .
Place the resistor adjacent to the BLNK pin when it is used.
CLS
A resistor from CLS to V
programs the classification current per the IEEE standard. The PD power ranges and
SS
corresponding resistor values are listed in Table 1 . The power assigned should correspond to the maximum average power drawn by the PD during operation.
High-power PSEs may perform two classification cycles if Class 4 is presented on the first cycle. The TPS23754 presents the same (resistor programmed) class each cycle per the standard.

CS
The CS (current sense) input for the dc/dc converter should be connected to the high side of the switching MOSFET ’ s current sense resistor (R which the GATE ON time will be terminated regardless of the voltage on CTL.
The TPS23754 provides internal slope compensation (150 mV, V compensation, a peak current limiter, and an off-time pull-down to this pin.
Routing between the current-sense resistor and the CS pin should be short to minimize cross-talk from noisy traces such as the gate drive signal.

Dead-time programming sets the delay between GATE and GAT2 to prevent overlap of MOSFET ON times as shown in Figure 2 . GAT2 turns the second MOSFET off when it transitions high. Both MOSFETs should be off between GAT2 going high to GATE going high, and GATE going low to GAT2 going low. The maximum GATE ON time is reduced by the programmed dead-time period. The dead time period is specified with 1 nF of capacitance on GATE and GAT2. Different loading on these pins will change the effective dead time.
A resistor connected from DT to ARTN sets the delay between GATE and GAT2 per Equation 3 .
Connect DT to V

Connect a resistor from FRS (frequency and synchronization) to ARTN to program the converter switching frequency. Select the resistor per the following relationship.
The converter may be synchronized to a frequency above its maximum free-running frequency by applying short ac-coupled pulses into the FRS pin per Figure 30 .
The FRS pin is high impedance. Keep the connections short and apart from potential noise sources. Special care should be taken to avoid crosstalk when synchronizing circuits are used.

GAT2

GAT2 is the second gate drive output for the dc/dc converter. GAT2 ’ s phase turns the second switch off when it transitions high, and on when it transitions low. This drives active-clamp PMOS devices per Figure 1 , and driven flyback synchronous rectifiers per Figure 28 . See the DT Pin Description for GATE to GAT2 timing. Connecting DT to V
disables GAT2 in a high-impedance condition. GAT2 is low when the converter is disabled.

PPD
PPD is a multifunction pin that has two voltage thresholds, PPD1 and PPD2. PPD1 permits power to come from an external low voltage adapter, e.g., 24 V, connected from V

) enables the hotswap MOSFET,
PPDEN
inhibits class current, and enables T2P. A resistor divider per Figure 35 provides ESD protection, leakage discharge for the adapter ORing diode, reverse adapter protection, and input voltage qualification.

RTN, ARTN, COM

RTN is internally connected to the drain of the PoE hotswap MOSFET, while ARTN is the quiet analog reference for the dc/dc controller return.

The ARTN / COM / RTN net should be treated as a local reference plane (ground plane) for the dc/dc control and converter primary. RTN and (ARTN/COM) may be separated by several volts for special applications.

PoE OVERVIEW

The following text is intended as an aid in understanding the operation of the TPS23754 but not as a substitute for the actual IEEE 802.3-2005 or IEEE 802.3at standard. The pending IEEE 802.3at standard is an update to IEEE 802.3-2005 clause 33 (PoE), adding high-power options and enhanced classification. Generally speaking, a device compliant to IEEE 802.3-2005 will be referred to as a type 1 device, and devices with high power and enhanced classification will be referred to as type 2 devices. Standards change and should always be referenced when making design decisions.

The IEEE 802.3-2005 (802.3at) standard defines a method of safely powering a PD (powered device) over a cable by power sourcing equipment (PSE), and then removing power if a PD is disconnected. The process proceeds through an idle state and three operational states of detection, classification, and operation. The PSE leaves the cable unpowered (idle state) while it periodically looks to see if something has been plugged in; this is referred to as detection. The low power levels used during detection are unlikely to damage devices not designed for PoE. If a valid PD signature is present, the PSE my inquire how much power the PD requires; this is referred to as classification. The PSE may then power the PD if it has adequate capacity.
Type 2 PSEs are required to do type 1 hardware classification plus a (new) data-layer classification, or an enhanced type 2 hardware classification. Type 1 PSEs are not required to do hardware or data link layer (DLL) classification. A type 2 PD must do type 2 hardware classification as well as DLL classification. The PD may return the default 12.95W (often referred to as 13W) current-encoded class, or one of four other choices. DLL classification occurs after power-on and the ethernet data link has been established.
Once started, the PD must present the maintain power signature (MPS) to assure the PSE that it is still present. The PSE monitors its output for a valid MPS, and turns the port off if it loses the MPS. Loss of the MPS returns the PSE to the idle state. Figure 21 shows the operational states as a function of PD input voltage. The upper half is for IEEE 802.3-2005, and the lower half shows specific differences for IEEE 802.3at. The dashed lines in the lower half indicate these are the same (e.g., Detect and Class) for both.

Figure 21. Operational States for PD
The PD input, typically an RJ-45 eight-lead connector, is referred to as the power interface (PI). PD input requirements differ from PSE output requirements to account for voltage drops and operating margin. The standard allots the maximum loss to the cable regardless of the actual installation to simplify implementation. IEEE 802.3-2005 was designed to run over infrastructure including ISO/IEC 11801 class C (CAT3 per TIA/EIA-568) that may have had AWG 26 conductors. IEEE 802.3at cabling power loss allotments and voltage drops have been adjusted for 12.5 power loops per ISO/IEC11801 class D (CAT5 or higher per TIA/EIA-568, typically AWG #24 conductors). Table 2 shows key operational limits broken out for the two revisions of the standard.

The PSE can apply voltage either between the RX and TX pairs (pins 1 - 2 and 3 - 6 for 10baseT or 100baseT), or between the two spare pairs (4 - 5 and 7 - 8). Power application to the same pin combinations in 1000baseT systems is recognized in 802.3at. 1000baseT systems can handle data on all pairs, eliminating the spare pair terminology. The PSE may only apply voltage to one set of pairs at a time. The PD uses input diode bridges to accept power from any of the possible PSE configurations. The voltage drops associated with the input bridges create a difference between the standard limits at the PI and the TPS23754 specifications.
A compliant type 2 PD has power management requirements not present with a type 1 PD. These requirements include the following:
1. Must interpret type 2 hardware classification
2. Must present hardware class 4
3. Must implement DLL negotiation
4. Must behave like a type 1 PD during inrush and startup
5. Must not draw more than 13W for 80ms after PSE applies operating voltage (power-up)
6. Must not draw more than 13W if it has not received a type 2 hardware classification or received permission
7. Must meet various operating and transient templates
8. Optionally monitor for the presence or absence of an adapter (assume high power).
As a result of these requirements, the PD must be able to dynamically control its loading, and monitor T2P for changes. In cases where the design needs to know specifically if an adapter is plugged in and operational, the adapter should be individually monitored, typically with an optocoupler.

Threshold Voltages

The TPS23754 has a number of internal comparators with hysteresis for stable switching between the various states. Figure 22 relates the parameters in the Electrical Characteristics section to the PoE states. The mode labeled idle between classification and operation implies that the DEN, CLS, and RTN pins are all high impedance. The state labeled Mark, which is drawn in dashed lines, is part of the new type 2 hardware class state machine.

The type 2 hardware classification protocol of IEEE 802.3at specifies that a type 2 PSE drops its output voltage into the detection range during the classification sequence. The PD is required to have an incorrect detection signature in this condition, which is referred to as the mark event (see Figure 23 ). After the first mark event, the TPS23754 will present a signature less than 12 k until it has experienced a V reset (V
). This is explained more fully under Hardware Classification.

Hardware Classification

Hardware classification allows a PSE to determine a PD ’ s power requirements before powering, and helps with power management once power is applied. Type 2 hardware classification permits high power PSEs and PDs to determine whether the connected device can support high-power operation. A type 2 PD presents class 4 in hardware to indicate it is a high-power device. A type 1 PSE will treat a class 4 device like a class 0 device, allotting 12.95 W if it chooses to power the PD. A PD that receives a 2 event class understands that it is powered from a high-power PSE and it may draw up to 25.5 W immediately after the 80 ms startup period completes. A type 2 PD that does not receive a 2-event hardware classification may choose to not start, or must start in a 13 W condition and request more power through the DLL after startup. The standard requires a type 2 PD to indicate that it is underpowered if this occurs. Startup of a high-power PD under 13 W implicitly requires some form of powering down sections of the application circuits.
The maximum power entries in Table 1 determine the class the PD must advertise. The PSE may disconnect a PD if it draws more than its stated Class power, which may be the hardware class or a lower DLL-derived power level. The standard permits the PD to draw limited current peaks that increase the instantaneous power above the Table 1 limit, however the average power requirement always applies.

The TPS23754 implements two-event classification. Selecting an R
of 63.4 provides a valid type 2
CLS
signature. TPS23754 may be used as a compatible type 1 device simply by programming class 0 3 per Table 1 . DLL communication is implemented by the ethernet communication system in the PD and is not implemented by the TPS23754.
The TPS23754 disables classification above V
CU_OFF
to avoid excessive power dissipation. CLS voltage is turned off during PD thermal limit or when APD or DEN are active. The CLS output is inherently current limited, but should not be shorted to V
for long periods of time.
SS
Figure 24 shows how classification works for the TPS23754. Transition from state-to-state occurs when
comparator thresholds are crossed (see Figure 21 and Figure 22 ). These comparators have hysteresis, which adds inherent memory to the machine. Operation begins at idle (unpowered by PSE) and proceeds with increasing voltage from left to right. A 2-event classification follows the (heavy lined) path towards the bottom, ending up with a latched type 2 decode along the lower branch that is highlighted. This state results in a low T2P during normal operation. Once the valid path to type 2 PSE detection is broken, the input voltage must transition below the mark reset threshold to start anew.

Inrush and Startup

802.3at has a startup current and time limitation, providing type 2 PSE compatibility for type 1 PDs. A type 2 PSE limits output current to between 400 mA and 450 mA for up to 75 ms after power-up (applying “ 48 V ” to the PI) in order to mirror type 1 PSE functionality. The type 2 PSE will support higher output current after 75 ms. The TPS23754 implements a 140 mA inrush current, which is compatible with all PSE types. A high-power PD must control its converter startup peak and operational currents drawn to below 400 mA for 80 ms. The TPS23754 ’ s internal softstart permits control of the converter startup, however the application circuits must assure that their power draw does not cause the PD to exceed the current/time limitation. This requirement implicitly requires some form of powering down sections of the application circuits. T2P becomes valid within t starts, or if an adapter is plugged in while the PD is operating from a PSE.

Maintain Power Signature

The MPS is an electrical signature presented by the PD to assure the PSE that it is still present after operating voltage is applied. A valid MPS consists of a minimum dc current of 10 mA (or a 10 mA pulsed current for at least 75 ms every 225 ms) and an ac impedance lower than 26.25 k in parallel with 0.05 µ F. The ac impedance is usually accomplished by the minimum operating C force the hotswap switch off, the dc MPS will not be met. A PSE that monitors the dc MPS will remove power from the PD when this occurs. A PSE that monitors only the ac MPS may remove power from the PD.

PD Hotswap Operation

IEEE 802.3at has taken a new approach to PSE output limiting. A type 2 PSE must meet an output current vs. time template with specified minimum and maximum sourcing boundaries. The peak output current may be as high as 50 A for 10 µ s or 1.75 A for 75 ms. This makes robust protection of the PD device even more important than it was in IEEE 802.3-2005.
The internal hotswap MOSFET is protected against output faults and input voltage steps with a current limit and deglitched (time-delay filtered) foldback. An overload on the pass MOSFET engages the current limit, with V

The PD control has a thermal sensor that protects the internal hotswap MOSFET. Conditions like startup or operation into a V (OTSD) turns off the hotswap MOSFET and class regulator, which are restarted after the device cools. The hotswap MOSFET will be re-enabled with the inrush current limit when exiting from an over-temperature event.
Pulling DEN to V allows a PD with Option three ORing per Figure 27 to achieve adapter priority. Care must be taken with synchronous converter topologies that can deliver power in both directions.
The hotswap switch will be forced off under the following conditions:

Converter Controller Features

The TPS23754 dc/dc controller implements a typical current-mode control as shown in the Functional Block Diagram. Features include oscillator, over-current and PWM comparators, current-sense blanker, dead-time control, softstart, and gate driver. In addition, an internal slope-compensation ramp generator, frequency synchronization logic, thermal shutdown, and startup current source with control are provided.
The TPS23754 is optimized for isolated converters, and does not provide an internal error amplifier. Instead, the optocoupler feedback is directly fed to the CTL pin which serves as a current-demand control for the PWM. There is an offset of V V peak current in the switching MOSFET. Optocoupler biasing design is eased by this limited control range.

Bootstrap Topology

The internal startup current source and control logic implement a bootstrap-type startup as discussed in “ Startup and Converter Operation. The startup current source charges C (either by the PD control or the V
control) to store enough energy to start the converter. Steady-state operating
C
power must come from a converter (bias winding) output or other source. Loading on V while C

when the converter

is off for most situations, however care should be taken in ORing topologies where the output is powered when PoE is off.
The converter will shut off when V
falls below its lower UVLO. This can happen when power is removed from
C
the PD, or during a fault on a converter output rail. When one output is shorted, all the output voltages fall including the one that powers VC. The control circuit discharges V
until it hits the lower UVLO and turns off. A
C
restart will initiate as described in Startup and Converter Operation if the converter turns off and there is sufficient V
voltage. This type of operation is sometimes referred to as hiccup mode which provides robust output short
DD1
protection by providing time-average heating reduction of the output rectifier. The bootstrap control logic disables most of the converter controller circuits except the V
regulator and internal
B
reference. Both GATE and GAT2 (assuming GAT2 is enabled) will be low when the converter is disabled. FRS, BLNK, and DT will be at ARTN while the V
UVLO disables the converter. While the converter runs, FRS, BLNK,
C
and DT will be about 1.25 V. The startup current source transitions to a resistance as (V

from adapters within tST. The lower test voltage for tSTwas chosen based on an assumed adapter tolerance, but is not meant to imply a hard cutoff exists. Startup takes longer and eventually will not occur as V below the test voltage. The bootstrap source provides reliable startup from widely varying input voltages, and eliminates the continual power loss of external resistors. The startup current source will not charge above the maximum recommended V
if the converter is disabled and there is sufficient V

Current Slope Compensation and Current Limit

Current-mode control requires addition of a compensation ramp to the sensed inductive (transformer or inductor) current for stability at duty cycles near and over 50%. The TPS23754 has a maximum duty cycle limit of 78%, permitting the design of wide input-range flyback and active clamp converters with a lower voltage stress on the output rectifiers. While the maximum duty cycle is 78%, converters may be designed that run at duty cycles well below this for a narrower, 36 V to 57 V PI range. The TPS23754 provides a fixed internal compensation ramp that suffices for most applications.
The TPS23754 provides internal, frequency independent, slope compensation (150 mV, V
) to the PWM
SLOPE
comparator input for current-mode control-loop stability. This voltage is not applied to the current-limit comparator whose threshold is 0.55 V (V by addition of R
per Figure 31 . The additional slope voltage is provided by (I
S
). If the provided slope is not sufficient, the effective slope may be increased

SL-EX
× RS). There is also a small dc offset caused by the ~2.5 µ A pin current. The peak current limit does not have duty cycle dependency unless R is used. This makes it easier to design the current limit to a fixed value. See Current Slope Compensation for more information.
The internal comparators monitoring CS are isolated from the IC pin by the blanking circuits while GATE is low, and for a short time (blanking period) just after GATE switches high. A 440 (max) equivalent pull down on CS is applied while GATE is low.
Blanking - R
BLNK
The TPS23754 provides a choice between internal fixed and programmable blanking periods. The blanking period is specified as an increase in the minimum GATE on time over the inherent gate driver and comparator delays. The default period (see the Electrical Characteristics table) is selected by connecting BLNK to RTN, and the programmable period is set with R
.
BLNK
The TPS23754 blanker timing is precise enough that the traditional R-C filters on CS can be eliminated. This avoids current-sense waveform distortion, which tends to get worse at light output loads. There may be some situations or designers that prefer an R-C approach. The TPS23754 provides a pull-down on CS during the GATE off time to improve sensing when an R-C filter must be used. The CS input signal should be protected from nearby noisy signals like GATE drive and the switching MOSFET drain.

Dead Time

The TPS23754 features two switching MOSFET gate drivers to ease implementation of high-efficiency topologies. Specifically, these include active (primary) clamp topologies and those with synchronous drivers that are hard-driven by the control circuit. In all cases, there is a need to assure that both driven MOSFETs are not on at the same time. The DT pin programs a fixed time period delay between the turn-off of one gate driver until the turn-on of the next. This feature is an improvement over the repeatability and accuracy of discrete solutions while eliminating a number of discrete parts on the board. Converter efficiency is easily tuned with this one repeatable adjustment. The programmed dead time is the same for both GATE-to-GAT2 and GAT2-to-GATE transitions. The dead time is triggered from internal signals that are several stages back in the driver to eliminate the effects of gate loading on the period, however the observed and actual dead-time will be somewhat dependent on the gate loading. The turnoff of GAT2 coincides with the start of the internal clock period.
DT may be used to disable GAT2, which goes to a high-impedance state. GATE ’ s phase turns the main switch on when it transitions high, and off when it transitions low. GAT2 ’ s phase
turns the second switch off when it transitions high, and on when it transitions low. Both switches should be off when GAT2 is high and GATE is low. The signal phasing is shown in Figure 2 . Many topologies that use secondary-side synchronous rectifiers also use N-Channel MOSFETs driven through a gate-drive transformer. The proper signal phase for these rectifiers may be achieved by inverting the phasing of the secondary winding (swapping the leads). Use of the two gate drives is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 28 .

FRS and Synchronization

The FRS pin programs the (free-running) oscillator frequency, and may also be used to synchronize the TPS23754 converter to a higher frequency. The internal oscillator sets the maximum duty cycle at 78% and controls the slope-compensation ramp circuit. Synchronization may be accomplished by applying a short pulse (T

before the converter is started. The APD and PPD terms allow the PD to operate from an adapter at high-power if a type 2 PSE is not present, assuming the adapter has sufficient capacity. Applications must monitor the state of T2P to detect power source transitions. Transitions could occur when a local power supply is added or dropped or when a PSE is enabled on the far end. The PD may be required to adjust the load appropriately. The usage of T2P is demonstrated in Figure 1 .
In order for a type 2 PD to operate at less than 13 W the first 80 ms after power application, the various delays must be estimated and used by the application controller to meet the requirement. The bootup time of many applications processors may be long enough to eliminate the need to do any timing.

Thermal Shutdown

The dc/dc controller has an OTSD that can be triggered by heat sources including the V
regulator, GATE driver,
B
bootstrap current source, and bias currents. The controller OTSD turns off VB, the GATE driver, and forces the V
control into an under-voltage state.

Adapter ORing

Many PoE-capable devices are designed to operate from either a wall adapter or PoE power. A local power solution adds cost and complexity, but allows a product to be used if PoE is not available in a particular installation. While most applications only require that the PD operate when both sources are present, the TPS23754 supports forced operation from either of the power sources. Figure 27 illustrates three options for diode ORing external power into a PD. Only one option would be used in any particular design. Option 1 applies power to the TPS23754 PoE input, option 2 applies power between the TPS23754 PoE section and the power circuit, and option 3 applies power to the output side of the converter. Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages. Many of the basic ORing configurations and discussion contained in application note Advanced Adapter ORing Solutions using the TPS23753 (literature number SLVA306A ), apply to the TPS23754.

Figure 27. ORing Configurations
The IEEE standards require that the Ethernet cable be isolated from ground and all other system potentials. The adapter must meet a minimum 1500 Vac dielectric withstand test between the output and all other connections for ORing options 1 and 2. The adapter only needs this isolation for option 3 if it is not provided by the converter.
Adapter ORing diodes are shown for all the options to protect against a reverse voltage adapter, a short on the adapter input pins, and damage to a low-voltage adapter. ORing is sometimes accomplished with a MOSFET in option 3.

PPD ORing Features

The TPS23754 provides several additional features to ease ORing based on the multifunction PPD pin (not available on TPS23754-1). These include T2P signaling of an option 1 adapter, use of a 24 V adapter (reduced output power) for option 1, and use of PoE as a power backup in conjunction with option 2. See the Advanced ORing Techniques section.

ORing Challenges

Preference of one power source presents a number of challenges. Combinations of adapter output voltage (nominal and tolerance), power insertion point, and which source is preferred determine solution complexity. Several factors adding to the complexity are the natural high-voltage selection of diode ORing (the simplest method of combining sources), the current limit implicit in the PSE, and PD inrush and protection circuits (necessary for operation and reliability). Creating simple and seamless solutions is difficult if not impossible for many of the combinations. However the TPS23754 offers several built-in features that simplify some combinations.
Several examples will demonstrate the limitations inherent in ORing solutions. Diode ORing a 48 V adapter with PoE (option 1) presents the problem that either source might be higher. A blocking switch would be required to assure which source was active. A second example is combining a 12 V adapter with PoE using option 2. The converter will draw approximately four times the current at 12 V from the adapter than it does from PoE at 48 V. Transition from adapter power to PoE may demand more current than can be supplied by the PSE. The converter must be turned off while C voltage and lower input current. A third example is use of a 12 V adapter with ORing option 1. The PD hotswap would have to handle four times the current, and have 1/16 the resistance (be 16 times larger) to dissipate equal
capacitance charges, with a subsequent converter restart at the higher
IN
power. A fourth example is that MPS is lost when running from the adapter, causing the PSE to remove power from the PD. If ac power is then lost, the PD will stop operating until the PSE detects and powers the PD.

The TPS23754 will support many power supply topologies that require a single PWM gate drive or two complementary gate drives and will operate with current-mode control. Figure 1 provides an example of an active clamp forward converter that uses the second gate driver to control M2, the active element in the clamp. GAT2 may also be used to drive a synchronous rectifier as demonstrated in Figure 28 . The TPS23754 may be used in topologies that do not require GAT2, which may be disabled to reduce its idling loss.
Selecting a converter topology along with a design procedure is beyond the scope of this applications section. Examples to help in programming the TPS23754 are shown below. Additional special topics are included to explain the ORing capabilities, frequency dithering, and other design considerations.

Input Bridges and Schottky Diodes

Using Schottky diodes instead of PN junction diodes for the PoE input bridges and D this function by about 30%. There are however some things to consider when using them.
The IEEE standard specifies a maximum backfeed voltage of 2.8 V. A 100 k resistor is placed between the unpowered pairs and the voltage is measured across the resistor. Schottky diodes often have a higher reverse leakage current than PN diodes, making this a harder requirement to meet. Use conservative design for diode operating temperature, select lower-leakage devices where possible, and match leakage and temperatures by using packaged bridges to help with this.
Schottky diode leakage current and lower dynamic resistance can impact the detection signature. Setting reasonable expectations for the temperature range over which the detection signature is accurate is the simplest solution. Increasing R
Schottky diodes have proven less robust to the stresses of ESD transients, failing as a short or becoming leaky. Care must be taken to provide adequate protection in line with the exposure levels. This protection may be as simple as ferrite beads and capacitors.
A general recommendation for the input rectifiers are 1 A or 2 A, 100 V rated discrete or bridge diodes.

Protection, D1

A TVS, D1, across the rectified PoE voltage per Figure 29 must be used. An SMAJ58A, or a part with equal to or better performance, is recommended for general indoor applications. If an adapter is connected from V RTN, as in ORing option 2 above, voltage transients caused by the input cable inductance ringing with the internal PD capacitance can occur. Adequate capacitive filtering or a TVS must limit this voltage to be within the absolute maximum ratings. Outdoor transient levels or special applications require additional protection.

Selection of the blanking period is often empirical because it is affected by parasitics and thermal effects of every device between the gate-driver and output capacitors. The minimum blanking period prevents the current limit and PWM comparators from being falsely triggered by the inherent current spike that occurs when the switching MOSFET turns on. The maximum blanking period is bounded by the output rectifier's ability to withstand the currents experienced during a converter output short.

T2P Pin Interface

The T2P pin is an active low, open-drain output indicating a high power source is available. An optocoupler is typically used to interface with the T2P pin to signal equipment on the secondary side of the converter of T2P status. Optocoupler current-gain is referred to as CTR (current transfer ratio), which is the ratio of transistor collector current to LED current. To preserve efficiency, a high-gain optocoupler ( 250% CTR 500%, or 300% CTR 600% ) along with a high-impedance (e.g., CMOS) receiver are recommended. Design of the T2P optocoupler interface can be accomplished as follows:

Advanced ORing Techniques

See Advanced Adapter ORing Solutions using the TSP23753, TI document number SLVA306A for ORing applications that also work with the TPS23754. The material in sections Adapter ORing and Protection, D1 are important to consider as well. The following applications are unique to the TPS23754 with the introduction of PPD.
Option 2 ORing with PoE acting as a hot backup is eased by connecting PPD to V connection enables the class regulator even when APD is high. The R-Zener network (1.8 k 24 V) is the simplest circuit that will satisfy MPS requirements, keeping the PSE online. This network may be switched out when the APD is not powered with an optocoupler. This works best with a 48-V adapter and the APD-programmed threshold as high as possible. An example of an adapter priority application with smooth switchover between a 48 V adapter and PoE is shown on the right side of Figure 34 .

Softstart

Converters require a softstart on the voltage error amplifier to prevent output overshoot on startup. Figure 36 shows a common implementation of a secondary-side softstart that works with the typical TL431 error amplifier. The softstart components consist of D V

CTL

charges through R
SS
are preset to the proper value as the output voltage reaches the regulated value, preventing
IZ
voltage overshoot due to the error amplifier recovery. The secondary-side error amplifier will not become active until there is sufficient voltage on the secondary. The TPS23754 provides a primary-side softstart which persists long enough (~4 ms) for secondary side voltage-loop softstart to take over. The primary-side current-loop softstart controls the switching MOSFET peak current by applying a slowly rising ramp voltage to a second PWM control input. The PWM is controlled by the lower of the softstart ramp or the CTL-derived current demand. The actual output voltage rise time is usually much shorter than the internal softstart period. Initially the internal softstart ramp limits the maximum current demand as a function of time. Either the current limit, secondary-side softstart, or output regulation assume control of the PWM before the internal softstart period is over. Figure 25 shows a smooth handoff between the primary and secondary-side softstart with minimal output voltage overshoot.

Special Switching MOSFET Considerations

Special care must be used in selecting the converter switching MOSFET. The TPS23756 minimum switching MOSFET V towards the end of a (failed) bootstrap startup. The MOSFET must be able to carry the anticipated peak fault current at this gate voltage.

Thermal Considerations and OTSD

Sources of nearby local PCB heating should be considered during the thermal design. Typical calculations assume that the TPS23754 is the only heat source contributing to the PCB temperature rise. It is possible for a normally operating TPS23754 device to experience an OTSD event if it is excessively heated by a nearby device.

Frequency Dithering for Conducted Emissions Control

The international standard CISPR 22 (and adopted versions) is often used as a requirement for conducted emissions. Ethernet cables are covered as a telecommunication port under section 5.2 for conducted emissions. Meeting EMI requirements is often a challenge, with the lower limits of Class B being especially hard. Circuit board layout, filtering, and snubbing various nodes in the power circuit are the first layer of control techniques. A more detailed discussion of EMI control is presented in Practical Guidelines to Designing an EMI Compliant PoE Powered Device With Isolated Flyback, TI literature number SLUA469 . Additionally, IEEE802.3-2005 sections
33.3 and 33.4 have requirements for noise injected onto the Ethernet cable based on compatibility with data transmission.
Occasionally, a technique referred to as frequency dithering is utilized to provide additional EMI measurement reduction. The switching frequency is modulated to spread the narrowband individual harmonics across a wider bandwidth, thus lowering peak measurements. The circuit of Figure 37 modulates the switching frequency by feeding a small ac signal into the FRS pin. These values may be adapted to suit individual needs.

ESD
The TPS23754 has been tested to EN61000-4-2 using a power supply based on Figure 1 . The levels used were 8 kV contact discharge and 15 kV air discharge. Surges were applied between the PoE input and the dc output, between the adapter input and the dc output, between the adapter and the PoE inputs, and to the dc output with respect to earth. Tests were done both powered and unpowered. No TPS23754 failures were observed and operation was continuous. See Figure 29 for additional protection for some test configurations.
ESD requirements for a unit that incorporates the TPS23754 have a much broader scope and operational implications than are used in TI ’ s testing. Unit-level requirements should not be confused with reference design testing that only validates the ruggedness of the TPS23754.
