  • [FAQ] Why is high efficiency important in PoE applications?

    Why is high efficiency important in PoE applications?

  • [FAQ] TPS23754: Can I use 24V PoE in my PD application?

    Part Number: TPS23754 Can I use 24V PoE in my PD application?

  • [FAQ] TPS23751: Can APD pin left floating on my PoE PD controller?

    Part Number: TPS23751 Hi Darwin, For all of TI's PoE PDs, even if there is an internal pull down on APD, it is recommended and good practice to terminate this pin to RTN or ARTN if APD is not used. This is also described in the PoE PD's datasheet.

  • [FAQ] TPS2372: What kind of MPS (maintain power signature) feature does my PoE PD application need?

    Part Number: TPS2372 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2373 , , TPS23752 Hi Darwin, In general, a PD can meet MPS by supplying at least 0.5W to the PSE (usually meets the MPS spec by the load going into normal operation). We have one family of…

  • [FAQ] TPS2372: What is the TPH, TPL, BT code when connected to an AT PSE, AF PSE or BT PSE, or a POE++ PSE, or an Adapter?

    Part Number: TPS2372 The table below shows the TPH-TPL-BT state when connected to an AT PSE (Type 1 or Type 2) or AF PSE (Type 1) , BT PSE (Type 3 or 4), non-standard POE++ PSE, or adapter (when APD goes high). PSE Type Power Sourced from…
