The PSE determines the class of a PD by applying a volt-
age at the PD input and measures the current sourced
out of the PSE. When the PSE applies a voltage between
12.6V and 20V, the MAX5941A/MAX5941B exhibit a cur-
rent characteristic with values indicated in Table 2. The
PSE uses the classification current information to classify
the power requirement of the PD. The classification cur-
rent includes the current drawn by the 25.5kΩ detection
signature resistor and the supply current of the
MAX5941A/MAX5941B so that the total current drawn by
the PD is within the IEEE 802.3af standard figures. The
classification current is turned off whenever the device is
in power mode.

MAX5941A/ MAX5941B gradually turn on the internal N-
channel MOSFET Q1 (see Figure 2). The MAX5941A/
MAX5941B charge the gate of Q1 with a constant current
source (10µA, typ). The drain-to-gate capacitance of Q1
limits the voltage rise rate at the drain of MOSFET, there-
by limiting the inrush current. To reduce the inrush cur-
rent, add external drain-to-gate capacitance (see the
Inrush Current section). When the drain of Q1 is within
1.2V of its source voltage and its gate-to-source voltage is
above 5V, the MAX5941A/MAX5941B assert the PGOOD/
PGOOD outputs. The MAX5941A/MAX5941B have a wide
UVLO hysteresis and turn-off deglitch time to compensate
for the high impedance of the twisted-pair cable.
The MAX5941A/MAX5941B operate up to a 67V supply
voltage with a default UVLO turn-on set at 39V and a
UVLO turn-off set at 30V. Adjust the UVLO threshold
using a resistor-divider connected to UVLO (see Figure
3). When the input voltage is above the UVLO threshold

To adjust the UVLO threshold, connect an external
resistor-divider from GND to UVLO and from UVLO to
V
R2 for a desired UVLO threshold:
where V
resistor-divider replaces the 25.5kΩ PD detection resis-
tor, ensure that the sum of R1 and R2 equals 25.5kΩ
±1%. When using the external resistor-divider, the

), the
MAX5941 has an external reference voltage hysteresis of
20% (typ). In other words, when UVLO is programmed
externally, the turn-off threshold is 80% (typ) of the new
UVLO turn-on threshold.
The MAX5941A/MAX5941B charge the gate of the inter-
nal MOSFET with a constant current source (10µA, typ).
The drain-to-gate capacitance of the MOSFET limits the
voltage rise rate at the drain, thereby limiting the inrush
current. Add an external capacitor from GATE to OUT
to further reduce the inrush current. Use the following
equation to calculate the inrush current:
The recommended inrush current for a PoE application
is 100mA.
PGOOD is an open-drain, active-high logic output.

PWM controller. No external pullup resistor is required.
PGOOD is an open-drain, active-low logic output.
