PM8800
Integrated solution for standard and high power PoE powered devices

PM8800A Product Page
The design of power supply sections of all powered devices can be greatly simplified with the new PM8800, which Integrates a standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) interface and a current mode PWM controller.
The PoE interface incorporates all the functions required by the IEEE 802.3af, including detection, classification, under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and in-rush current limitation.
PM8800
PM8800 specifically targets PDs with extended power requirements with respect to the limit imposed by the 802.3af standard, embedding a hot-swap Power MOSFET capable of sustaining twice the current of the 802.3af standard with a programmable DC current limit. The integrated switching regulator of the PM8800 is designed to work with power, either from the Ethernet cable connection or from an external power source such as an AC adapter. The DC/DC section of the PM8800 features a programmable oscillator frequency, soft-start, slope compensation and embeds a voltage output error amplifier allowing use in both isolated and non isolated configurations.
