[FAQ] PoE PD Controllers: Why am I failing Ppeak during inrush?

Part Number: TPS23751

Hi Sir,

I am exceeding Type 1 Ppeak (13W) during inrush current. Do you have any suggestion to avoid this issue?

  • Hi Chen,

    The load should be disconnected from the converter during the 81.5ms inrush period so that the input inrush current (limited to 140mA) can be used to fill the bulk capacitor. See sections 7.4.1.5 & 7.4.1.7 of the TPS23751 datasheet for more details.

    Additionally, be sure that you are not exceeding the operation current limit & staying within the 12.95W max power limit for class 3.

    Thanks,
