Single-Port, 40W, IEEE 802.3af/at PSE Controller With Integrated MOSFET

The MAX5971A is a single-port, power-sourcing equipment (PSE) power controller designed for use in IEEE® 802.3af/at-compliant PSE. This device provides powered device (PD) discovery, classification, current limit, DC and AC load-disconnect detections. The MAX5971A operates automatically without the need for any software programming and features an integrated Power MOSFET and sense resistor. The device also supports new Class 5 and 2-event classification for detection and classification of high-power PDs. The MAX5971A provides up to 40W to a single port (Class 5 enabled) and still provides high-capacitance detection for legacy PDs. By Maxim Integrated Products
