VSS 4 4 I Return line on the source side of the TPS2375 from the PSE.
Switched output side return line used as the low-side reference for the
RTN 5 5 O
TPS2375 load.
PG 6 6 O Open-drain, power-good output; active high.
Used only on the TPS2376. Connect a resistor divider from VDD to VSS to
UVLO - 7 I

NC 7 - No connection
VDD 8 8 I Positive line from the rectified PSE provided input.
The following descriptions refer to the schematic of Figure 1 and the functional block diagram.
ILIM: A resistor from this pin to VSS sets the inrush current limit per Equation 1 :
where ILIM is the desired inrush current value, in amperes, and R
(ILIM)
is the value of the programming resistor
from ILIM to VSS, in ohms. The practical limits on R
(ILIM)
are 62.5 k Ω to 500 k Ω . A value of 178 k Ω is
recommended for compatibility with legacy PSEs.
Inrush current limiting prevents current drawn by the bulk capacitor from causing the line voltage to sag below
the lower UVLO threshold. Adjustable inrush current limiting allows the use of arbitrarily large capacitors and also
accommodates legacy systems that require low inrush currents.
The ILIM pin must not be left open or shorted to VSS.
CLASS: Classification is implemented by means of an external resistor, R
(CLASS)
, connected between CLASS
and VSS. The controller draws current from the input line through R
(CLASS)
when the input voltage lies between
13 V and 21 V. The classification currents specified in the electrical characteristics table include the bias current
flowing into VDD and any RTN leakage current.

The CLASS pin must not be shorted to ground.
DET: Connect a resistor, R
(DET)
, between DET and VDD. This resistor should equal 24.9 k Ω , ± 1% for most
applications. R
(DET)
is connected across the input line when V
(VDD)
lies between 1.4 V and 11.3 V, and is
disconnected when the line voltage exceeds this range to conserve power. This voltage range has been chosen
to allow detection with two silicon rectifiers between the controller and the RJ-45 connector.
