TPS23754: The power powered off.

Part Number: TPS23754

Dears:

There will happen power off and the waveform as follows:

Verifying the 25W load ( using the cement resistor), running for a period of time (such as a few hours), there is no power failure problem, during this period may be overloaded. This time take off the load, and the device is then powered normally. In this case, the device has only the device (5W), but the problem happened.

1. PSE side waveform:

  • Lian,

    I have assigned this thread to PD Application Engineer Tom Amlee. As it is the weekend, his response will be delayed by ~12 hours.

    Thank you for your local support of PoE products from Texas Instruments,
  • Hi Luck,

    To clarify: your PSE is removing power to your PD when you startup with a 25W load attached. When a load is not attached, you are able to successfully startup with a PSE.

    Do I have this correct?

  • HI Luck,

    In section 7.4.1.5 of the TPS23754 datasheet, it says "the application circuits must assure that their power draw does not cause the PD to exceed the current/time limitation." You will need to make sure the load is not attached until after this inrush period.

    By startup up with a load attached, the inrush current is flowing in to the power stage instead of charging the bulk cap. If the bulk cap is not charged, PD stays in inrush for longer until it reaches thermal limit, shuts down, & tries again.
