APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
Power over Ethernet (PoE) continues to gain popularity 
as more products are taking advantage of having DC 
power and high speed data available from a single RJ45 
connector. As PoE continues to grow in the marketplace, 
powered device (PD) equipment vendors are running into 
the 12.95W power limit established by the IEEE 802.3af 
standard. 
The IEE802.3at standard establishes a higher power alloca-
tion for Power over Ethernet while maintaining backwards 
compatibility with the existing IEEE 802.3af systems. 
Power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered devices are 
distinguished as Type 1 complying with the IEEE 802.3af/
IEEE 802.3at power levels, or Type 2 complying with the 
IEEE 802.3at power levels. The maximum available power 
of a Type 2 PD is 25.5W.
The IEEE 802.3at standard also establishes a new method 
of acquiring power classification from a PD and communi-
cating the presence of a Type 2 PSE. A Type 2 PSE has the 
option of acquiring PD power classification by performing 
2-event classification (layer 1) or by communicating with 
the PD over the data line (layer 2). In turn, a Type 2 PD 
must be able to recognize both layers of communications 
and identify a Type 2 PSE.
The LTC4278 is specifically designed to support the front 
end of a PD that must operate under the IEEE 802.3at 
standard. In particular, the LTC4278 provides the T2P 
indicator bit which recognizes 2-event classification. This 
indicator bit may be used to alert the LTC4278 output load 
that a Type 2 PSE is present. With an internal signature 
resistor, classification circuitry, inrush control, and ther-
mal shutdown, the LTC4278 is a complete PD Interface 
solution capable of supporting in the next generation PD 
applications. 
MODES OF OPERATION
The LTC4278 has several modes of operation depending 
on the input voltage applied between the V
PORTP
 and 
V
PORTN
 pins. Figure 1 presents an illustration of voltage 
and current waveforms the LTC4278 may encounter with 
the various modes of operation summarized in Table 1.
