Our application is an industrial control system with an embedded controller connected via Ethernet to a host computer. The embedded controller integrates a POE+ PSE supply using the TPS23881 controller. We have been using the TPS23881EVM to test basic power control and that is working as expected. We are now integrating the POE+ PSE supply into the embedded controller and need to make sure that the PHY to magnetics connections are correct. I've done a lot of embedded controllers but Ethernet and POE are new to me.
The attached schematic is in the early stages and very sparse but I want to make sure the PHY, magnetics and related PSE power connections are correct. At this time we are using a Microchip transceiver but would consider TI alternatives if available.
Appreciate your help - Duncan
