Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2511, TIDA-01463, TPS54560
I am looking to develop a simple USB charger that is powered over PoE.
I have identified the TPS2378 as a suitable PD Interface.
USB charging will be controlled using a TPS2511.
My question relates to the buck switcher i will need to take the PoE voltage (after the TPS2378) and drop to 5V for the USB supply. Does the switcher need to be an isolated design? My thought is yes, as it accessible by third parties? Is this correct?
Another project on the back burner is to provide LED lights powered from PoE. As there are no accessible parts, i presume any switchers i utilise in this design wouldn't need to be isolated?
