MAX5969A cross ref

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2378

Hello E2E,

I am looking for a PoE interface for Powered Devices, and package size is of utmost importance. Competition is the MAX5969A, which has a Power Good output (also necessary) and is 3x3mm.

 

Does TI have any PD controller devices (Any class) that has similar functionality that is as small or smaller? I dont see any in our portfilio, but maybe on a roadmap?

 

Thanks guys,

Brian A

  • Hi Brian,

    TPS2378 is our best bet for PD only .at compliance. The CDB in the TPS2378 is similar to PG in the MAX5969 device.

    The IC is such small part of the entire solution (compared to the size of the DCDC converter after it). It will be best to compete against Maxim in a total solution basis and not just IC. Please let us know the specifics of the maxim total solution and maybe we can find a TI solution with better features such as smaller solution size.
