TPS23756: Asking for the TPS23756 POE design

Part Number: TPS23756

Hi Team,

Customer is designing TPS23756 POE.

Can TPS23756 inform the system MCU the PSE connection is POE or POE+ via T2P?

 

BR,

  • Hello SHH,

    The T2P pin detects if the PSE is a Type 2 (PD Class 4, 25W). 

    Back when there was only IEEE802.3.af standard (up to 13W), people called the new IEEE802.3.at standard (up to 25W) "PoE+."

    Then anything >25W was called "PoE++"

    However, PoE++ is not IEEE802.3.bt standard. 

    So the T2P pin shows if a valid IEEE802.3.at 25W PSE is present. 

    Does that make sense?

    If this post answers your question, please indicate so by marking this thread as resolved. Thank you.
