Shwetha,
The datasheet has a section on 'smooth switchover' on page 31 when using adapters.
There is a diode and resistor in series to keep the PSE on. DHLD and RHLD.
With a lower voltage adapter there will be some voltage droop because the input of the converter needs to charge up to the PSE voltage. The time will depend on your total system solution and must be tested at that level.
The smoothest solution is to use a 48V adapter and circuit on Figure 34 if the customer wants a seamless transition between adapter and poe. 48V adapters are common and are available off the shelf.
Hi Darwin ,
Could you please review the schematics and layout , the POE+ is endspan , as the ethernet in the cable assembly we are using doesn't give access to unused pins , We have adapter feeding 12V, cince 23754 aux Vin is 36V min , we Oring externally using mosfet and dioides
POE will be and adapter 12V will be enabled based on priority which will be done before hand , when either of them is switches the other should provide power to camera module without any delay .
J1 connector is going to camera module , J5 is Power out from POE board to RF input in the housing .
J2 is adapter power in 12V, 2A
3.3V is generated in the camera module which is used for SD card.

Hi Shwetha,
It looks like the PDF schematic only outputted half of the design. Can you send a full schematic PDF? Thanks!
HI Daniel,
Hi Shwetha,
Schematic looks good! I saw no issues that stood out for me. I'm assuming you tested your application with the EVM. Did you test the EVM with your application load? Or a dummy load?
For the T2P design, actual application uses the design on page 30 of the datasheet. This is to signal the load that the PSE can provide type 2 power levels. The EVM only uses an LED as visual confirmation that type hardware classification was done by the PSE. It's important for the load to know if the PSE can provide higher power so that the load knows not to operate at that higher power.
I will do the board review next.
For board review I recommend looking at the EVM and copying that design. The layout should be divided into 3 different sections with different gnd planes as you can see in the user's guide. There's the PD front end side (shield), the primary side gnd, and secondary side gnd.
There should be no secondary ground plane at the front end of the PD (connector, diodes, and L4/L7). The shield ground (see user's guide).
L4/L7 should bridge the PD front end with the primary gound. Again see user's guide.
It's best to use SLUA469 design guidelines in your layout for optimum design. The EVM user's guide also has a good summary on page 8-9.
