APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTC4264
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The IEEE 802.3af specifi cation dictates a maximum turn-
on voltage of 42V and a minimum turn-off voltage of 30V
for the PD. In addition, the PD must maintain large on-off
hysteresis to prevent current-resistance (I-R) drops in the
wiring between the PSE and the PD from causing start-up
oscillation. The LTC4264 incorporates an undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) circuit that monitors line voltage at V
determine when to apply power to the PD load (Figure 7).
Before power is applied to the load, the V
impedance and there is no charge on capacitor C1. When
the input voltage rises above the UVLO turn-on thresh-
old, the LTC4264 removes the classifi cation load current
and turns on the internal power MOSFET. C1 charges up
under LTC4264 inrush current limit control and the V
pin transitions from 0V to V
LTC4264 includes a hysteretic UVLO circuit on V

the LTC4264 integrates a dual current limit circuit using an
onboard power MOSFET and sense resistor to provide a
complete inrush control circuit without additional external
components.
At turn-on, the LTC4264 will limit the inrush current to
I
voltage in a controlled manner without interference from
the PSE current limit. By keeping the PD current limit below
the PSE current limit, PD power up characteristics are well
controlled and independent of PSE behavior. This ensures
interoperability regardless of PSE output characteristics.
After load capacitor C1 is charged up, the LTC4264 switches
to the high input current limit, I
LTC4264 to deliver up to 35W to the PD load for high power
applications. To maintain compatibility with IEEE 802.3af
power levels, it is necessary for the PD designer to ensure
the PD steady-state power consumption remains below
the limits shown in Table 2. The LTC4264 maintains the
high input current limit until the port voltage drops below
the UVLO turn-off threshold.
