DESCRIPTION
The LM5072 Powered Device (PD) interface and
Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) controller provides a
complete power solution, fully compliant to IEEE
802.3af, for the PD connecting into Power over
Ethernet (PoE) networks. This controller integrates all
functions necessary to implement both a PD powered
interface and DC-DC converter with a minimum
number of external components. The LM5072
provides the flexibility for the PD to also accept power
from auxiliary sources such as AC adapters in a
variety of configurations. The low RDS(ON) PD
interface hot swap MOSFET and programmable DC
current limit extend the range of LM5072 applications
up to twice the power level of 802.3af compliant PD
devices. The 100V maximum voltage rating simplifies
selection of the transient voltage suppressor that protects the PD from network transients. The LM5072
includes an easy-to-use PWM controller that
facilitates the various single-ended power supply
topologies including the flyback, forward and buck.
The PWM control scheme is based on peak current
mode control, which provides inherent advantages
including line feed-forward, cycle-by-cycle current
limit, and simplified feedback loop compensation.
Two versions of the LM5072 provide either an 80%
maximum duty cycle (-80 suffix), or a 50% maximum
duty cycle (-50 suffix).
