Part Number: TPS23881

I have read TI's explanation. The explanation is that POH is a one-way protocol, and TPS23881 only outputs 30W power to POH PD by default. If you need to output higher power, you need the host command.Does this mean that POH PD cannot be graded?

  • Hi user6251361,

    The PoH PD can be classified from class 0 to class 4 by BT PSEs, but if you need higher than 30W power, there's no way to classify through hardware classification. LLDP must be involved. This is true to all BT compliant PSEs. Thanks. 

    Best regards,
