TPS23861: Autonomous mode class selection

Part Number: TPS23861

Hi,

We are designing a 4 port POE switch. We want to limit the power sourcing to 802.3af class 3.

Is it possible in autonomous mode or should it be configured over I2C from host

  • Hi Akash,

    You will need to send I2C commands(disable 2-event classification in register 0x21) to limit the power to 15W for TPS23861. If you don't have host available in the system, TPS23882B1 is another option you can pre-configure the part to 15W class 3 through AUTO pin. Thanks. 

    Best regards,

    Penny
