TPS2373-4EVM-758: How to determine the minimum capacitance of C28 of the EVM?

Webber Chang

Tool/software:

Hi,

Good day.

I am currently designing a POE product with TPS2373-4+UCC2897ARGPR and encountered a lack of space to place the electrolytic capacitor.

So, could you please guide me in determining the minimum capacitance of C28 of the EVM?

Sincerely

Hi,

Our PoE team is currently out of office and will be back tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.,

Hi Webber

802.3BT 最worst的250us transient 没有input current，加上100m线 + PSE最低输出电压 + PD 满载load。这时为了不让PSE - PD port关断我们推荐如下的cap。但实际情况这个很难发生，很多设计不会用这么大的cap。

Power Bulk Cap

13W 10-22uF

25W 33-47uF

50W 68-100uF

70W 100uF-200uF

802.3BT还有个和Cport相关的最低要求。考虑到4-paris是两个port，可能需要Bulk >= 40uF for Class-7，8。其余的Cap要求就是和DC/DC相关了。

Best regards,

HI Diang,

感謝解釋.
請問EVM C28的目的是用於儲存電流,避免當PD抽重載導致PSE關閉電源?

如果是,有方式可以計算我需要多少電容才能達到這目的?

謝謝

Hi Webber,

正常工作时C28是为了稳定DC/DC input电压，保证DC/DC在优化的输入电压下运行。这时和SW 250kHz频率、start up时给Vout电容充电也有关系。

PSE-PD inrush Cport需要40uF。如果有250us PSE-PD 断电transient，C28是为了独立提供能量保证PD不落到低于undervoltage （36V）的情况。这时需要100uF-200uF的cap。

Best regards,

Diang
