STE12PS

www.DataSheet4U.com STE12PS 12 channel integrated PSE line manager Preliminary Data Features ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ PSE power control device Supports up to 12 independent or four 30W, “boosted” ports Wide operating range: up to 90V IEEE 802.3af compliant Open circuit detection: AC and DC methods Advanced power management algorithm Current sensing with as low as 500mΩ, external, series resistors No need for external FETs In-rush current control Short-circuit protection Adaptable signature detection capability On-chip 3.3V SMPS controller Low-noise, 12-bit ADC Standard I2C interface Parallel monitor interface The STE12PS is fully programmable, supporting the detection and powering of IEEE802.3af as well as legacy PDs. The flexibility of the STE12PS allows the user to select a suitable system configuration: up to 12 ports as well as 4 “boosted” channels. If needed, the STE12PS can also efficiently manage cases or applications where a limited amount of power is available to the ports (smart-power capability) by means of integrated, power MOSFET devices. All operations are controlled via the I2C bus also notifying externally some ports status condition via dedicated pins. Ethernet port isolation can be easily maintained thanks to an integrated 3.3V SMPS power source and by means of optocouplers. The STE12PS has five address selection inputs to choose up to 32 possible different addresses. Power can be provided to the PD using either spare lines of the Ethernet cable or u...
