LTPoE++/PoE+/PoE PD Forward/Flyback Controller

The LT4276 is a pin-for-pin compatible family of IEEE 802.3 and LTPoE++ Powered Device (PD) controllers. It includes an isolated switching regulator controller capable of synchronous operation in both forward and flyback topologies with auxiliary power support.

The LT4276A employs the LTPoE++ classification scheme, receiving 38.7W, 52.7W, 70W or 90W of power at the PD RJ45 connector, and is backwards compatible with IEEE 802.3. The LT4276B is a fully 802.3at compliant, 25.5W Type 2 (PoE+) PD. The LT4276C is a fully 802.3af compliant, 13W Type 1 (PoE) PD.

The LT4276 supports both forward and flyback power supply topologies, configurable for a wide range of PoE applications. The flyback topology supports No-Opto feedback. Auxiliary input voltage can be accurately sensed with just a resistor divider connected to the AUX pin.

The LT4276 utilizes an external, low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFET for the Hot Swap function, maximizing power delivery and efficiency, reducing heat dissipation, and easing the thermal design.
