[FAQ] Is there a way I can get my PoE design started quickly and speed up my time-to-market?

The Tools & Software Tab of TI's PoE landing page (www.TI.com/PoE) can be use to find PoE TI designs optimized for cost, size, or performance. In addition, the TI Designs Reference Library makes it easy to search for the most popular and useful designs by inputting common PoE criteria such as converter topology, output voltage, output current and isolation requirements. You can narrow down or broaden your search by including or omitting certain criteria. The results of your search will yield a list of reference designs geared toward your power requirements and links to the product pages of each reference design. The product pages contain all of the technical information you need for your design, such as schematics; BOMs; Gerber files; and a test report that showcases the performance of the design, like efficiency and transient response. This will reduce your design cycle and get you to market faster.
