Power over Ethernet

ST now offers 2 choices for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interface controllers for powered device (PD) applications: the STHS2375x and the STHS4257x. The primary difference between the two parts is that the STHS4257x has an integrated signature resistor and the STHS2375x requires an external signature resistor. These controllers provide power to applications over your existing Ethernet cable. Both devices are IEEE802.3af compliant. Typical applications are: VoIP phones, web and security cameras, WLAN access points, POS terminals, internet appliances, and RFID readers.

Basic Features:

Integrated power MOSFET low-side switch
Inrush current limiting circuitry
Normal operation current limit
Integrated 25 kohm signature resistor (STHS4257x only)
Signature disable (STHS4257x1 only)
Resistor-programmable classification current (class 0 - 4)
Power good status output, open drain
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
Thermal overload protection
