Description of Operation and Applications Information
The LM5073 integrates a fully IEEE 802.3af compliant PD interface with versatile auxiliary power support. When
combined with a separate DC-DC converter, it provides a complete power solution for Powered Devices (PD)
that connect to PoE systems.
The LM5073 provides the following features:
1. The input voltage rating up to 100V allows greater flexibility when selecting a transient surge suppressor to
protect the PD from voltage transients encountered in PoE applications.
2. The integration of the PD signature resistor, inrush current limit, programmable input voltage under-voltage
lock-out (UVLO), PD classification, and thermal shutdown simplifies PD implementation.
3. The PD interface accepts power from auxiliary sources including AC adapters and solar cells in various
configurations over a wide range of input voltages. Auxiliary power input can be programmed to be either
non-dominant or dominant over PoE power.
4. Programmable DC current limit to support PD applications requiring input currents up to 800 mA.
5. Complementary open drain outputs for controlling a DC-DC converter.
6. A power good flag pin allows an accurate power good delay to be programmed and provides the option of
driving a power good indicator LED.
7. Input line over voltage protection for downstream circuits, including the DC-DC converter.
DC-DC Converter Selection
A PD designed with LM5073 can be optimized for a variety of applications by selecting the DC-DC converter
from a wide range of topologies. Topology selection enables several design trade-offs including efficiency,
complexity, and cost.
For example, the LM5025 controller for the Active Clamp Forward topology can be paired with the LM5073 for
increased efficiency, especially at higher power levels. In cases where isolation is not required an LM5576
regulator with a built in buck switch provides a simple, low cost solution.
The 100V capability of the LM5073 protects against input voltage transients, especially in the case of a hot
swapping front auxiliary power. The LM5073 has built-in over-voltage protection such that a DC-DC converter
with input voltage rating as low as 65V can be safely used.
The DC-DC converter must have a soft start feature to control the input current during startup. The soft-start
process reduces the surge of inrush current and eliminates any tendency of the output voltage to overshoot
during startup. The converter should be started slowly enough such that the input current does not exceed the
PD interface hot swap MOSFET DC current limit or the current limit of the PSE, otherwise the PD will not start
correctly.
Modes of Operation
Per the IEEE 802.3af specification, when a PD is connected to a PoE system it transitions through several
operating modes in sequence including detection, classification (optional), turn-on inrush, and normal DC
operation. Each operating mode corresponds to a specific voltage range supplied from the PSE. Figure 8 shows
the IEEE 802.3af specified sequence of operating modes and the corresponding PD input voltages at the RJ-45
connector.
Current steering diode bridges are required for the PD interface to accept all allowable connections and polarities
of PoE voltage from the RJ-45 connector (see the example application circuit in Figure 17). The bridge voltage
drop will reduce the input voltage sensed by the LM5073. To ensure full compliance to the specification in all
operating modes, the LM5073 takes into account the voltage drop across the bridge diodes and responds
appropriately to the voltage received from the PoE cable. Table 1 presents the response in each operating mode
to voltages at the PD input connector and between the VIN and VEE pins.

Normal Operation 36V to 57V 65V to 32V (UVLO, VIN Falling)
Detection Signature
In the detection mode, a PD must present a signature resistance between 23.75 kand 26.25 kto the PoE
power sourcing equipment. This signature impedance distinguishes the PD from non-PoE equipment to protect
the latter from being accidentally damaged by inadvertent application of PoE voltage levels. To simplify the circuit
implementation, the LM5073 integrates the signature resistor, as shown in Figure 9.
During the detection mode, the voltage across the VIN and VEE pins is less than 10V. Once detection mode is
complete, the LM5073 will disengage the signature resistor to reduce power loss in all other modes.

Classification
Classification is an optional feature of the IEEE 802.3af specification. It is primarily used to identify the power
requirements of a particular PD. This feature will allow the PSE to allocate the appropriate available power to
each device on the network. Classification is performed by measuring the current flowing into the PD during this
mode. IEEE 802.3af specifies five power classes, each corresponding to a unique range of classification current,
as presented in Table 2. As shown in Figure 10, the LM5073 simplifies the classification implementation by
requiring a single external resistor connected between the RCLASS and VEE pins to program the classification
current. The resistor value required for each class is also given in Table 2.
During the classification mode, the voltage between the VIN and VEE pins is between 12V and 23.5V. In this
voltage range, the class resistor RCLASS is engaged by enabling the 1.25V buffer amplifier and MOSFET. After
classification is complete, the voltage from the PSE will increase to the normal operating voltage of the PoE
system (48V nominal). When VIN rises above 23.5V, the LM5073 will disengage the RCLASS resistor to reduce
on-chip power dissipation.
The classification feature is disabled when either the front or rear auxiliary power options are selected, as the
classification function is not required when power is supplied from an auxiliary source. The classification function
is also disabled when the LM5073 reaches the thermal shutdown temperature threshold (nominally 165°C). This
may occur if the LM5073 is operated at elevated ambient temperatures and the classification time exceeds the
IEEE 802.3af limit of 75 ms.
When the classification option is not required, simply leave the RCLASS pin open to set the PD to the default
Class 0 state. Class 0 requires that the PSE allocate the maximum IEEE 802.3af specified power of 15.4W
(12.95W at the PD input terminals) to the PD.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The LM5073 contains both programmable and default input Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) circuits. Figure 11
illustrates the block diagram of the LM5073 UVLO circuit. When the UVLO pin is connected to the VIN pin the
internal default thresholds and hysteresis are selected, requiring no external components to comply with the
IEEE 802.3af UVLO specifications. To program the UVLO threshold and hysteresis to custom values, use two
external resistors R1 and R2. Connecting an external resistor divider to the UVLO pin automatically overrides the
default UVLO settings.
The LM5073’s UVLO circuit continuously monitors the PoE input voltage between the VIN and VEE pins. When
the VIN voltage rises above the upper threshold, either default or programmed, the UVLO circuit will enable the
hot swap MOSFET and initiate the startup inrush sequence. During normal operating mode, when the VIN
voltage falls below the default or the programmed lower threshold, the LM5073 disables the PD by disabling the
hot swap MOSFET. A built-in 300 µs timer delays the disable signal, to prevent disabling the hot swap MOSFET
during intermittent transients.
The UVLO thresholds are determined by the following considerations. The PD can draw a maximum current of
400 mA during IEEE 802.3af PoE operation. This current will cause a voltage drop of up to 8V over a 100m long
Ethernet cable. The PD front-end current steering diode bridges may introduce an additional 2V drop. To ensure
successful startup at the minimum PoE voltage of 42V and to continue operation at the minimum requirement of
36V, as specified by IEEE 802.3af, these voltage drops must be taken into account. Accordingly, the LM5073
UVLO default thresholds are set to 38V, on the rising edge of VIN, and 31V on the falling edge of VIN. The 7V
nominal hysteresis of the default UVLO function, along with the inrush current limit (discussed in the next
section), prevents false starts and chattering during startup.
In addition to the default settings, the UVLO threshold and hyteresis can be programmed independently to
custom values. After selecting R1 to program the UVLO hysteresis, the ratio between R1 and R2 determines the
UVLO threshold. The resistors should be selected to satisfy the following relationships:
R1 = VHYS / 20 µA (1)
where
VUVLO is the upper (positive going) trip point
VHYS is the difference betweeen the upper and lower trip points (2)
The UVLO thresholds should not be programmed below the classification threshold or above the OVP threshold.
The UVLO signal will be overridden by the front auxiliary power option (see details in the FAUX section).
The UVLO function can also be used to implement a remote enable / disable function. Pulling the UVLO pin
down below the UVLO threshold disables the interface and the control outputs for the DC-DC converter.

Figure 11. Programmable and Default Input UVLO Functions
Over-Voltage Protection
To protect the downstream DC-DC converter from excessive voltage, the hot swap MOSFET is disabled when
the 65V (nominal) over-voltage protection (OVP) threshold is exceeded. This allows the 100V rated LM5073 to
work safely with a lower voltage rated DC-DC converter. The SD and nSD signals which enable the DC-DC
converter are delayed by the power good filter as shown in Figure 13. The DC-DC converter will continue to
operate through a short duration UVLO condition provided the power good filter does not expire and sufficient
voltage remains at the input to the DC-DC converter. When the input voltage returns to normal, the hot swap
MOSFET is re-enabled. Once the voltage between RTN and VEE is below 1.5V, power good will be re-asserted.
Inrush Current Limit
Inrush current limit is required to control the charging of the DC-DC converter input capacitors when power is first
applied. This reduces stress on components and prevents startup oscillations that would occur if unlimited
current were drawn from the PoE network.
According to IEEE 802.3af, the input capacitance of the PD power supply must be at least 5 µF (between the
VIN and RTN pins). Considering the capacitor tolerance and the effects of voltage and temperature, a nominal
capacitor value of at least 10 µF is recommended. The input capacitors remain discharged during detection and
classification modes of the PD interface. The hot swap MOSFET is turned on when the voltage between the VIN
and VEE pins rises above the UVLO release threshold. When enabled, the hot swap MOSFET delivers a
regulated inrush current of 150 mA to charge the input capacitors of the DC-DC converter.
The inrush current causes a voltage drop along the PoE Ethernet cable (20maximum) that reduces the input
voltage sensed by the LM5073. To avoid erratic turn-on (hiccups), the UVLO hysteresis must be greater than the
input voltage drop due to cable resistance. If the 7V default hysteresis is insufficient, it should be programmed to
a higher value.

The maximum recommended DC current limit is 800 mA. While thermal analysis should be a standard part of
any power supply design, it may warrant additional attention if the DC current limit is programmed to values in
excess of 440 mA. The analysis should include evaluations of the dissipation capability of LM5073 package, heat
sinking properties of the PC board, ambient temperature, and other heat dissipation factors of the operating
environment.

Power Good Operation
The nPGOOD pin serves as a power good flag. It can be used with a delay timing capacitor to delay the
assertion of the shutdown pins. It can also be used to drive an optional ‘powered from PoE’ indicator. The
voltage on the nPGOOD pin controls the shutdown pins used to enable the DC-DC converter. An internal 50 µA
pull-up current source will pull the nPGOOD pin up to about 4V. External loads (such as an LED) may pull the
output up to a maximum of 16V.
The power good status indicates that the input capacitors of the DC-DC converter are fully charged through the
hot swap MOSFET and the circuit is ready for the DC-DC converter to start up. The power good status is issued
by pulling down the nPGOOD pin to a logic low level relative to the RTN pin.
Once the power good status is established, the nPGOOD pin voltage will be pulled down quickly, and the two
DC-DC converter control outputs, SD and nSD, will change states. When the nPGOOD pin is low, the SD pin is
active low and the nSD pin is high impedance.
The nPGOOD pin can be configured to perform multiple functions. As shown in Figure 13, it can be used to
implement a “Powered from PoE” indicator using an LED with a series current limiting resistor connected to a
positive supply less than 16V. This is useful when the auxiliary power source is directly connected to the input of
the DC-DC converter stage, a situation known as rear auxiliary power (see Auxiliary Power Options below). In
such a configuration, the nPGOOD pin will illuminate the LED when the PD is operating from PoE power but not
when it is powered from the auxiliary source. The “Powered from PoE” indicator is not applicable in systems
implementing the front auxiliary power configuration (see Auxiliary Power Options below) because both PoE and
auxiliary supply current pass through the hot swap MOSFET. In this configuration, the nPGOOD pin is active
when either PoE power or auxiliary power is applied.

Figure 13. "Powered-from-PoE" Indictor, Power Good Delay Timer and Shut Down Control Outputs
The nPGOOD pin can also be used to implement a delay timer by adding a capacitor from the nPGOOD pin to
the RTN pin. This delay timer will prevent the interruption of the DC-DC converter’s operation in the event of an
intermittent loss of power good status. This can be caused by PoE line voltage transients that may occur when
switching between normal PoE power and a backup supply (e.g. a battery or UPS). Such a condition will create a
new “hot swap” event if the backup supply voltage is greater than the PoE supply. Since the hot swap MOSFET
will likely limit current during such a sudden input voltage change, the nPGOOD pin will momentarily switch to
the high state. A capacitor on this pin will delay the transition of the nPGOOD pin to provide continuous operation
of the DC-DC converter during such transients. The power good filter delay time and capacitor value can be
selected with the following equation:
CPGOOD (nF) = 20 x tPG_DELAY (ms) (4)
For example, selecting 100 nF for CPGOOD, the delay time will be 5 ms. The delay required for continuous
operation will depend on the amplitude of the transient, the DC current limit, the load, and the total amount of
input capacitance. The nPGOOD delay timer will not ensure continuous operation if the hot swap MOSFET is in
current limit for an extended period, causing a thermal limit condition. This will result in a complete shutdown of
the DC-DC converter, though no elements in the system will be permanently damaged and normal operation will
resume momentarily.
The power good status also affects the default DC current limit. Should the sensed drain to source voltage of the
hot swap MOSFET (from RTN to VEE) exceed 2.5V, the LM5073 will increase the DC current limit from the
default 440 mA to 800 mA (High DCCL). This higher current limit will speed recovery from an input voltage
downward step, allowing continued operation of the PD. This higher current limit will remain in effect until one of
the following events occurs: (i) the power good status is lost for longer than tPG_Delay, at which time the DC-DC
converter will be disabled, (ii) the increased power dissipation in the hot swap MOSFET causes a thermal limit
condition as previously discussed, or (iii) the hot swap MOSFET drain to source voltage falls below 1.5V to re-
establish power good status. Note that if the DC current limit has been programmed externally with RDCCL (see
the DC Current Limit section), then the DC current limit will remain at the programmed level even when the
power good status is lost.

Enabling the External DC-DC Converter
The LM5073 has complementary active high (SD) and active low (nSD) shut down outputs that can be used with
any DC-DC converter that has an enable input. When nPGOOD pin is low (< 2.5V), the SD pin will be in the low
state and the nSD pin will be high impedance. In cases where the pull up internal to the DC-DC converter is
weak, an additional pull-up may be desirable for better noise immunity. Alternatively, the nSD output may be
connected to the UVLO or Soft Start pins of the DC-DC converter when a dedicated enable input is not available.
The open drain output will not interfere with normal operation of the DC-DC converter’s UVLO or Soft-Start.
The external pull-ups for the SD or nSD pins must limit the voltage at each pin to no more than 16V relative to
RTN, and limit the sink current to 1 mA or less.
Auxiliary Power Options
The LM5073 allows the PD to receive power from auxiliary sources like AC adapters and solar cells in addition to
the PoE enabled network. This is a desirable feature when the total system power requirements exceed the
PSE’s load capacity. Furthermore, with the auxiliary power option, the PD can be used in a standard Ethernet
(non-PoE) system.
For maximum versatility, the LM5073 accepts two different auxiliary power configurations. The first one, shown in
Figure 14, is the front auxiliary (FAUX) configuration in which the auxiliary source is “diode OR’d” with the voltage
available from the Ethernet connector. The second configuration, shown in Figure 15, is the rear auxiliary
(RAUX) option in which the auxiliary power bypasses the PoE interface altogether and is connected directly to
the input of the DC-DC converter through a diode. The FAUX option is desirable if the auxiliary power voltage is
similar to the PoE input voltage. However, when the auxiliary supply voltage is much lower than the PoE input
voltage, the RAUX option is more favorable because the current from the auxiliary supply is not limited by the hot
swap MOSFET DC current limit. A comparison of the FAUX and RAUX options is presented in Table 3. Note the
FAUX and RAUX pins are not reverse voltage protected. If the polarity of the auxiliary supply is not ensured, then
a series blocking diode should be added for reverse polarity protection.

limit and other voltage protection.
The term “Auxiliary Dominance” mentioned in Table 3 means that when the auxiliary power source is connected,
it will always power the PD regardless of the state of PoE power. “Aux dominance” is achievable only with the
RAUX option.
If the PD is not designed for aux dominance, either the FAUX or RAUX power sources will deliver power to the
PD only under the following two conditions: (i) If auxiliary power is applied before PoE power, it will prevent the
PSE from detecting the PD and will supply power indefinitely. This occurs because the PoE input bridge rectifiers
will be reverse biased, and no detection signature will be observed. Under this condition, when the auxiliary
supply is removed, power continuity will not be maintained because it will take some time for the PSE to perform
signature detection and classification before it will supply power. (ii) If auxiliary power is applied after PoE power
is already present and the auxiliary supply voltage is greater than the voltage received from the PSE, then the
auxiliary supply will power the PD. Under the second case, if the PSE and auxiliary supply voltages are
essentially equal, the load will be shared inversely proportional to the respective output impedances of each
supply. (Note: The output impedance of the PSE supply is increased by the cable series resistance).
If PoE power is applied first and has a higher voltage than the non-dominant aux power source, it will continue
powering the PD even when the aux power source becomes available. In this case, should PoE power be
removed, the auxiliary source will assume power delivery and supply the DC-DC converter loads without
interruption.

FAUX Option
With the FAUX option, the LM5073 hot swap MOSFET provides inrush and DC current limit protection for the
auxiliary power source. To select the FAUX configuration for an auxiliary voltage lower than nominal PoE
voltages, the FAUX pin must be forced above its high threshold to override the UVLO function.
Pulling up the FAUX pin will increase the default DC current limit to 800 mA. This increase in DC current limit is
desirable because higher current is required to support the PD output power at the lower input potentials often
delivered by auxiliary sources. In cases where the auxiliary supply voltage is comparable to the PoE voltage,
there is no need to pull-up the FAUX pin to override UVLO, and the default DC current limit remains at 440 mA.
However, if the DC current limit is externally programmed with RDCCL, the condition of the FAUX pin will not affect
the programmed DC current limit. In other words, the programmed DC current limit can be considered a “hard
limit” that will not vary in any configuration.
RAUX Option
The RAUX option is desirable when the auxiliary supply voltage is significantly lower than the PoE voltage or
when aux dominance is desired. The inrush and DC current limits of the LM5073 do not protect or limit the RAUX
power source, and an additional resistor in the RAUX input path will be needed to provide transient protection.
To select the RAUX option without aux dominance, simply pull up the RAUX pin to the auxiliary power supply
voltage through a high value resistor. Depending on the auxiliary supply voltage, the resistor value should be
selected such that the current flowing into the RAUX pin is approximately 100 µA when the pin is mid-way
between the lower and upper RAUX thresholds (approximately 4V). For example, with an 18V non-dominant rear
auxiliary supply, the pull up resistor should be:
(5)
If the PSE load capacity is limited and insufficient, aux dominance will be a desired feature to off-load PoE power
for other PDs that do not have auxiliary power available. Aux dominance is achieved by pulling the RAUX pin up
to the auxiliary supply voltage through a lower value (~5 k) resistor that delivers at least 330 µA into the RAUX
pin. When this higher RAUX current level is detected, the LM5073 shuts down the PD interface. In aux dominant
mode, the auxiliary power source will supply the PD as soon as it is applied. PD operation will not be interrupted
when the aux power source is connected. The PoE source may or may not actually be removed by the PSE,
although the DC current from the network cable is effectively reduced to zero (<150 µA). IEEE 802.3af requires
the AC input impedance to be greater than 2 Mto ensure PoE power removal. This condition is not satisfied
when the auxiliary power source is applied. The PSE may remove power from a port based on the reduction in
DC current. This is commonly known as DC Maintain Power Signature (DC MPS), a common feature in many
PSE systems.
When using the RAUX configuration, the hot swap MOSFET may become disabled which will cause a high
impedance at the VEE pin. To provide a high frequency, low impedance path for the IC’s substrate current from
VEE to RTN, the 0.1 µF signature capacitor is split equally between VIN to VEE, and VEE to RTN, as shown in
Figure 15. The two capacitors are effectively connected in parallel. This will not affect signature mode, and can
be used for all configurations.
It should be noted that rear auxiliary non-dominance does not imply PoE dominance. PoE dominance requires a
different circuit configuration if continuity of power is desired. Please contact Texas Instruments for support on
PoE dominant solutions.

A Note About FAUX and RAUX Pin False Input State Detection
The FAUX and RAUX pins are used to sense the presence of auxiliary power sources. The input voltage of each
pin must remain low when the auxiliary power sources are absent. However, the Or-ing diodes feeding the
auxiliary power are not ideal and exhibit reverse leakage current that can flow from the PoE input to both the
FAUX and RAUX pins. When PoE power is applied, these leakage currents may elevate the potentials of the
FAUX and RAUX pins to false logic states.
A failure mode may be observed when the power diode feeding the front auxiliary input leaks excessively. The
leakage current may elevate the voltage on the FAUX pin above the FAUX input threshold, which will force
UVLO release. This would certainly interrupt any attempt by the LM5073 PD interface to perform the signature or
classification functions.
When the power diode that feeds the rear auxiliary input leaks, the false signal could imply a rear auxiliary supply
is present. In this case, the internal hot swap MOSFET will be turned off. This would block PoE power flow and
prevent startup.
This leakage problem at the control input pins can be easily solved. As shown in Figure 15, an additional pull-
down resistor (Rpd) across each auxiliary power control input provides a path for the diode leakage current so
that it will not create false states on the FAUX or RAUX pins.
Figure 16. Bypassing Resistor Prevents False FAUX and RAUX Pin Signaling
Thermal Protection
The LM5073 includes internal thermal shutdown circuitry to protect the IC in the event the maximum junction
temperature is exceeded. This circuit prevents catastrophic overheating due to accidental overload of the hot
swap MOSFET or other circuitry. Typically, thermal shutdown is activated at 165°C, causing the hot swap
MOSFET and classification regulator to be disabled. The DC-DC converter control outputs will be disabled after
the power good timer has expired. The thermal protection is non-latching, therefore after the temperature drops
by the 20°C nominal hysteresis, the hot swap MOSFET is re-activated. If the cause of overheating has not been
eliminated, the circuit will oscillate in and out of the thermal shutdown mode.
