TPS2373: Please tell me about the compliance standard of TPS2373.

Part Number: TPS2373


Hi, team.

My customers are looking for PD devices with 48 W output.

In order to be judge it whether TPS2373 can be used from customer,

I want to try promotion it.

A question here.

Although it is described as "PoE ++ compliant" in the data sheet of this product,

do you also support "(other company's standard) LT PoE++"?

Best regards,

Masumi Sekiguchi

    Sekiguchi-San,

    The TPS2373-4, released on 6/30/17, is IEEE802.3bt-ready. We believe it will pass all related testing once the new IEEE802.3bt standard is published in summer of 2018.

    In addition, and to your question, the part can receive power from a "PoE++" PSE from our competition (LT/ADI) - even though it is non-compliant to the IEEE802.3bt standard.

    I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to follow up if not clear to you. You may also email me if wanting stronger promotion material.

    Thank you very much, Thomas-san.

    By the way, is it possible to use the specifications of type 3 or lower?

    My pleasure Sekiguchi-San.

    Yes, the new IEEE802.3bt standard is backward compatible and inter-operable with existing power levels today (Types 1-2 and Classes 1-4). No problem!

    This new standard, and device, is quite flexible and powerful.
