Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2373-4EVM-758
Dear Specialists,
My customer'd like to know whether or not TPS2379 is able to use IEEE802.3bt PoE++.
Could you please see the question below and advise?
--- Question
We currently use TI - TPS2379 driver for PoE on our products in Japanese market, and also, we’ve known that that works on IEEE 802.3af PoE (15.4 W) and IEEE 802.3 at PoE + (25.5 W) withou any problems.
But I don’t know whether IEEE 802.3 bt PoE ++ (4 pairs 100 W) works or not.
As you know, IEEE 802.3 bt PoE ++ will be formulated in 2017 or 2018, is this IC TPS2379 compatible? (We can change the software for the Rx and Tx, so the point of this question is for only regarding the hardware, I mean, about the power supply. )
To tidy up, if we want to support IEEE 802.3 bt PoE ++ for the products, do I have to change TPS2379 and its peripehral circuits/components? If we need to change the IC please kindly inform the model number to us.

I appreciate your great help in advance.
Best regards,
Shinichi
