PM8805TR IEEE 802.3bt PoE-PD interface with embedded dual active bridge

The PM8805 is a system-in-package for smart power supply of Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Devices (PD) and it is applicable for power level up to 99.9 W.

It embeds: two active bridges and their driving circuitry, a charge pump to drive the high-side MOSFETs, the hot swap MOSFET and the interface compliant with IEEE 802.3bt.

The device performs the physical layer classification, providing the indication of successful PSE type identification. A 4-pair PSE is identified and the information is available by a dedicated matrix of Tx signals.

The device works with power either from the Ethernet cable or from an external power source such as a wall adapter, with possible prevalence of the auxiliary source with respect to the PoE.

The PM8805 is suitable to build the interface section of PoE switch mode power supplies targeting the highest conversion efficiency. It provides a PGD signal that can be used to enable a PWM controller, a DC-DC converter or an LED driver.
