The LT®4276 is a pin-for-pin compatible family of IEEE 802.3 and LTPoE++ Powered Device (PD) controllers. It includes an isolated switching regulator controller capable of synchronous operation in both forward and flyback topologies with auxiliary power support.
The LT4276 LTPoE++, PoE+ and PoE compliant powered device (PD) interface controllers for applications requiring 2 to 90 W of delivered power. The LT4276 integrates a PD controller and an isolated switching regulator controller, capable of synchronous operation in both forward and flyback topologies with auxiliary power support. This integration simplifies front end PD designs by reducing component count and board space, allowing the LT4276A (LTPoE++), LT4276B (PoE+) and LT4276C (PoE) to efficiently deliver power to PD loads using just one IC.
Analog Devices' Power by Linear’s LTPoE++ standard extends support for today’s class of very high power applications, such as picocell base stations, signage and heated outdoor security cameras, by expanding the power budget to four new power levels (38.7 W, 52.7 W, 70 W and 90 W). Unlike traditional PD controllers that integrate the power MOSFET, the LT4276 controls an external MOSFET to drastically reduce overall PD heat dissipation and maximize power efficiency, especially important at higher power levels. This novel approach allows users to size the MOSFET to their application’s specific heating and efficiency requirements, enabling the use of MOSFETs with as low as 3.0 mΩ R where necessary. A 100 V rated input voltage means the LT4276 easily survives and protects PDs from the most common Ethernet line surges.
