Power Over Ethernet PD Controller with Auxiliary Power

Interface

General Description

The LM5071 power interface port and pulse width modula-

tion (PWM) controller provides a complete integrated solu-

tion for Powered Devices (PD) that connect into Power over

Ethernet (PoE) systems. The LM5071 is specifically de-

signed for the PD that must accept power from auxiliary

sources such as ac adapters. The auxiliary power inter-

face of the LM5071 activates the PWM controller when the

ac adapter is connected to power the PD when PoE network

power is unavailable. The LM5071 integrates an 80V,

400mA line connection switch and associated control for a

fully IEEE 802.3af compliant interface with a full featured

current mode pulse width modulator dc-dc converter. All

power sequencing requirements between the controller in-

terface and switch mode power supply (SMPS) are inte-

grated into the IC.

Pin Descriptions

Pin Name Description Application Information

1 VIN System high potential input. The diode “OR” of several lines entering the PD, it is the more

positive input potential.

2 RSIG Signature resistor pin. Connect a resistor from V

to this pin for signature detection. The

resistor is in parallel with the UVLO resistors and should be valued

accordingly.

3 RCLASS Classification resistor pin. Connect the classification programming resistor from this pin to V

4 AUX Auxiliary input power startup pin. A resistor divider between the AUX voltage input to VEE programs

the startup levels with a 2.5V threshold. A high value (>300kΩ)

internal pull down resistor is present to pull the pin low if it is left

open. In practice, the divider voltage should be set well above 2.5V

by the programming resistors.

5 UVLO Line under-voltage lockout. An external resistor divider from V

to UVLORTN programs the

shutdown levels with a 2.00V threshold at the UVLO pin. Hysteresis

is set by a switched internal 10uA current source that forces

additional current into the resistor divider.

6 UVLORTN Return for the external UVLO resistors. Connect the bottom resistor of the resistor divider between the

UVLO pin and this pin.

7 VEE System low potential input. Diode “OR’d” to the RJ45 connector and PSE’s –48V supply, it is

the more negative input potential.

8 RTN System return for the PWM converter. The drain of the internal current limiting power MOSFET which

connects V

to the return path of the dc-dc converter.

9 OUT Output of the PWM controller. DC-DC converter gate driver output with 800mA peak sink current

capability.

10 V

Output of the internal high voltage

series pass regulator. Regulated output

voltage is nominally 7.8V.

When the auxiliary transformer winding (if used) raises the voltage

on this pin above the regulation set point, the internal series pass

regulator will shutdown, reducing the controller power dissipation.

11 FB Feedback signal. Inverting input of the internal error amplifier. The non-inverting input

is internally connected to a 1.25V reference.

12 COMP The output of the error amplifier and

input to the Pulse Width Modulator.

COMP pull-up is provided by an internal 5K resistor which may be

used to bias an opto-coupler transistor.

13 CS Current sense input. Current sense input for current mode control and over-current

protection. Current limiting is accomplished using a dedicated

current sense comparator. If the CS pin voltage exceeds 0.5V the

OUT pin switches low for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. CS is held

low for 50ns after OUT switches high to blank leading edge current

spikes.

14 RT / SYNC Oscillator timing resistor pin and

synchronization input.

An external resistor connected from RT to ARTN sets the oscillator

frequency. This pin will also accept narrow ac-coupled

synchronization pulses from an external clock.

15 SS Soft-start input. An external capacitor and an internal 10uA current source set the

soft-start ramp rate.

16 ARTN Analog PWM supply return. RTN for sensitive analog circuitry including the SMPS current limit

amplifier.

Detailed Operating Description

The LM5071 power interface port and pulse width modula-

tion (PWM) controller provides a complete integrated solu-

tion for Powered Devices (PD) that connect into Power over

Ethernet (PoE) systems. Major features of the PD interface

portion of the IC include detection, classification, thermal

limit, programmable undervoltage lockout, and current limit

monitoring. The device also includes a high-voltage start-up

bias regulator that operates over a wide input range up to

60V. The switch mode power supply (SMPS) control portion

of the IC includes power good sensing, V

regulator under-

voltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, error amplifier,

slope compensation, softstart, and oscillator sync capability.

This high speed BiCMOS IC has total propagation delays

less than 100ns and a 1MHz capable oscillator programmed

by a single external resistor. The LM5071 PWM controller

provides current-mode control for dc-dc converter topologies

requiring a single drive output, such as Flyback and Forward

topologies. The LM5071 PWM enables all of the advantages

of current-mode control including line feed-forward, cycle-by-

cycle current limit and simplified loop compensation. The

oscillator ramp is internally buffered and added to the PWM

comparator input ramp to provide slope compensation nec-

essary for current mode control at duty cycles greater than

50% (-80 suffix only).

Modes of Operation

The LM5071 PD interface is designed to provide a fully

compliant IEEE 802.3af system. As such, the modes of

operation take into account the barrel rectifiers often utilized

to correctly polarize the dc input from the Ethernet cable.

Table 1 shows the LM5071 operating modes and associated

input voltage range.

Operation

An external signature resistor is connected to V

when V

exceeds 1.8V, initiating detection mode. During detection

mode, quiescent current drawn by the LM5071 is less than

10uA. Between 10.0V and 12.5V, the device enters classifi-

cation mode and the signature resistor is disabled. The

nominal range for classification mode is 11.5V to 25.0V. The

classification current is turned off once the classification

range voltage is exceeded, to reduce power dissipation.

Between 25.0V and UVLO release, the device is in a

standby state, awaiting the input voltage to reach the opera-

tional range to complete the power up sequence. Once the

voltage increases above the upper UVLO threshold volt-

age, the internal power MOSFET is enabled to deliver a

constant current to charge the input capacitor of the dc-dc

converter. When the MOSFET Vds voltage falls below 1.5V,

the internal Power Good signal enables the SMPS controller.

The LM5071 is specified to operate with an input voltage as

high as 60.0V. The SMPS controller and internal MOSFET

are disabled when V

falls to the lower UVLO threshold.

Detection Signature

To detect a potential powered device candidate, the PSE

(Power Sourcing Equipment) will apply a voltage from 2.8V

to 10V across the input terminals of the PD. The voltage can

be of either polarity so a diode barrel network is required on

both lines to ensure this capability. The PSE will take two

measurements, separated by at least 1V and 2ms of time.

The voltage ramp between measurement points will not

exceed 0.1V/us. The delta voltage / delta current calculation

is then performed; if the detected impedance is above

23.75kΩand below 26.25kΩ, the PSE will consider a PD to

be present. If the impedance is less than 15kΩor greater

than 33kΩa PD will be considered not present and will not

receive power. Impedances between these values may or

may not indicate the presence of a valid PD. The LM5071

will enable the signature resistor at a controller input voltage

of 1.5V to take into account the diode voltage drops. An

external signature resistor should be placed between the

VIN and RSIG pins. The signature resistor is in parallel with

the external UVLO resistor divider, and its value should be

calculated accordingly. Targeting 24.5kΩincreases margin in

the signature design as the input bridge rectifier diodes

contribute to the series resistance measured at the PD input

terminals. The PSE will tolerate no more than 1.9V of offset

voltage (caused by the external diodes) or more than 10uA

of offset current (bias current). The input capacitance must

be greater than 0.05uF and less than 0.12uF. To increase

efficiency, the signature resistor is disabled by the LM5071

controller once the input voltage is above the detection

range (>11V).

Classification

To classify the PD, the PSE will present a voltage between

14.5V and 20.5V to the PD. The LM5071 enables classifica-

tion mode at a nominal input voltage of 11.5V. An internal

1.5V linear regulator and an external resistor connected to

the RCLASS pin provide classification programming current.

Table 2 shows the external classification resistor required for

a particular class.

The classification current flows through the IC into the clas-

sification resistor. The suggested resistor values take into

account the bias current flowing into the IC. A different

desired RCLASS can be calculated by dividing 1.5V by the

desired classification current.

Per the IEEE 802.3af specification, classification is optional,

and the PSE will default to class 0 if a valid classification

current is not detected. If PD classification is not desired

(i.e., Class 0), simply leave the RCLASS pin open. The

classification time period may not last longer than 75ms as

per IEEE 802.3af. The LM5071 will remain in classification

mode until V

is greater than 25V.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The IEEE 802.3af specification states that the PSE will

supply power to the PD within 400ms after completion of

detection. The LM5071 contains a programmable line Under

Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) circuit. The first resistor should be

connected between the V

to UVLO pins; the bottom resis-

tor in the divider should be connected between the UVLO

and UVLORTN pins.

The divider must be designed such that the voltage at the

UVLO pin equals 2.0V when V

reaches the desired mini-

mum operating level. If the UVLO threshold is not met, the

interface control and SMPS control will remain in standby.

UVLO hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 10uA

current source that is switched on and off into the impedance

of the UVLO set point divider. When the UVLO threshold is

exceeded, the current source is activated to instantly raise

the voltage at the UVLO pin. When the UVLO pin voltage

falls below the 2.00V threshold, the current source is turned

off, causing the voltage at the UVLO pin to fall. The LM5071

UVLO thresholds cannot be programmed lower than 25V,

the AUX pin should be used to force UVLO release below

25V.

There are many additional uses for the UVLO pin. 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 SMPS controller

unless forced on via AUX pin operation.

AUX Pin Operation

The AUX pin can be used to force operation (UVLO release)

of the interface and switching regulator at any input voltage

above 9.5V. This is especially useful for auxiliary input (wall

transformer) input voltages. The pin has a 2.5V threshold

(0.5V hysteresis) and an input impedance of approximately

350kΩ. The input resistor provides a defined pull down

impedance if the pin is left open by the user. An external pull

down resistor should be used to provide additional noise

immunity. The resultant pin voltage from the external resistor

divider should be well above the 2.5V threshold to ensure

proper auxiliary operation. See Figure 4 for an example of a

simple yet robust auxiliary configuration.

20168422

FIGURE 4. Simplified Schematic Showing Auxiliary Implementation

LM5071

Power Supply Operation

Once the UVLO threshold has been satisfied, the interface

controller of the LM5071 will charge up the SMPS input

capacitor through the internal power MOSFET. This load

capacitance provides input filtering for the power converter

section and must be at least 5uF per the IEEE 802.3af

specification. To accomplish the charging in a controlled

manner, the power MOSFET is current limited to 100mA.

The SMPS controller will not initiate operation until the load

capacitor is completely charged. The power sequencing be-

tween the interface circuitry and the SMPS controller occurs

automatically within the LM5071. Detection circuitry monitors

the RTN pin to detect interface startup completion. When the

RTN pin potential drops below 1.5V with respect to V

, the

regulator of the SMPS controller is enabled. The soft-

start function is enabled once the V

regulator achieves

minimum operating voltage. The inrush current limit only

applies to the initial charging phase. The interface power

MOSFET current limit will revert to the default protection

current limit of 390mA once the SMPS is powered up and the

soft-start pin sequence begins.

High Voltage Start-up Regulator

The LM5071 contains an internal high voltage startup regu-

lator that allows the input pin (V

) to be connected directly to

line voltages as high as 60V. The regulator output is inter-

nally current limited to 15mA. The recommended capaci-

tance range for the V

regulator output is 0.1uF to 10uF.

When the voltage on the V

pin reaches the regulation

point of 7.8V, the controller output is enabled. The controller

will remain enabled until V

falls below 6.25V.

In typical applications, a transformer auxiliary winding is

diode connected to the V

pin. This winding should raise

the V

voltage above 8.1V to shut off the internal startup

regulator. Though not required, powering V

from an aux-

iliary winding improves conversion efficiency while reducing

the power dissipated in the controller. The external V

capacitor must be selected such that the capacitor maintains

the V

voltage greater than the V

UVLO falling threshold

(6.25V) during the initial start-up. During a fault condition

when the converter auxiliary winding is inactive, external

current draw on the V

line should be limited such that the

power dissipated in the start-up regulator does not exceed

the maximum power dissipation capability of the LM5071

package.

If the V

auxiliary winding is used with a low voltage aux-

iliary supply (wall transformer), the VCC pin could back feed

through the LM5071 to the VIN pin. A diode from VCC to VIN

should be used to clamp the VCC pin and prevent this

internal back feed. The winding voltage will remain the same

and extra power will be dissipated in the series resistor. Also,

note that when using a very low voltage auxiliary supply

(<14V), a diode from the AUX supply to the VCC pin should

be used to ensure VCC startup.

Error Amplifier

An internal high gain error amplifier is provided within the

LM5071. The amplifier’s non-inverting reference is set to a

fixed reference voltage of 1.25V. The inverting input is con-

nected to the FB pin. In non-isolated applications, the power

converter output is connected to the FB pin via voltage

scaling resistors. Loop compensation components are con-

nected between the COMP and FB pins. For most isolated

applications the error amplifier function is implemented on

the secondary side of the converter and the internal error

amplifier is not used. The internal error amplifier is config-

ured as an open drain output and can be disabled by con-

necting the FB pin to ARTN. An internal 5K pull-up resistor

between a 5V reference and COMP can be used as the

pull-up for an optocoupler in isolated applications.

Current Limit / Current Sense

The LM5071 provides a cycle-by-cycle over current protec-

tion function. Current limit is accomplished by an internal

current sense comparator. If the voltage at the current sense

comparator input CS exceeds 0.5V with respect to RTN/

ARTN, the output pulse will be immediately terminated. A

small RC filter, located near the CS pin of the controller, is

recommended to filter noise from the current sense signal.

The CS input has an internal MOSFET which discharges the

CS pin capacitance at the conclusion of every cycle. The

discharge device remains on an additional 50ns after the

beginning of the new cycle to attenuate the leading edge

spike on the current sense signal.

The LM5071 current sense and PWM comparators are very

fast, and may respond to short duration noise pulses. Layout

considerations are critical for the current sense filter and

sense resistor. The capacitor associated with the CS filter

must be located very close to the device and connected

directly to the pins of the controller (CS and ARTN). If a

current sense transformer is used, both leads of the trans-

former secondary should be routed to the sense resistor and

the current sense filter network. A sense resistor located in

the source of the primary power MOSFET may be used for

current sensing, but a low inductance resistor is required.

When designing with a current sense resistor, all of the noise

sensitive low power ground connections should be con-

nected together local to the controller and a single connec-

tion should be made to the high current power return (sense

resistor ground point).

Oscillator, Shutdown and Sync

Capability

A single external resistor connected between the RT and

ARTN pins sets the LM5071 oscillator frequency. Internal to

the LM5071–50 device (50% duty cycle limited option) is an

oscillator divide by two circuit. This divide by two circuit

creates an exact 50% duty cycle clock which is used inter-

nally to create a precise 50% duty cycle limit function. Be-

cause of this divide by two, the internal oscillator actually

operates at twice the frequency of the output (OUT). For the

LM5071–80 device the oscillator frequency and the opera-

tional output frequency are the same. To set a desired output

operational frequency (F), the RT resistor can be calculated

from:

LM5071-80:

LM5071-50:

The LM5071 can also be synchronized to an external clock.

The external clock must have a higher frequency than the

free running oscillator frequency set by the RT resistor. The

clock signal should be capacitively coupled into the RT pin

with a 100pF capacitor. A peak voltage level greater than 3.7

volts at the RT pin is required for detection of the sync pulse.

The sync pulse width should be set between 15 to 150ns by

the external components. The RT resistor is always required,

whether the oscillator is free running or externally synchro-

nized. The voltage at the RT pin is internally regulated to a 2

volts. The RT resistor should be located very close to the

device and connected directly to the pins of the controller

(RT and ARTN).

PWM Comparator / Slope

Compensation

The PWM comparator compares the current ramp signal

with the loop error voltage derived from the error amplifier

output. The error amplifier output voltage at the COMP pin is

offset by 1.4V and then further attenuated by a 3:1 resistor

divider. The PWM comparator polarity is such that 0 Volts on

the COMP pin will result in zero duty cycle at the controller

output. For duty cycles greater than 50 percent, current

mode control circuits are subject to sub-harmonic oscillation.

By adding an additional fixed slope voltage ramp signal

(slope compensation) to the current sense signal, this oscil-

lation can be avoided. The LM5071-80 integrates this slope

compensation by summing a current ramp generated by the

oscillator with the current sense signal. Additional slope

compensation may be added by increasing the source im-

pedance of the current sense signal (with an external resis-

tor between the CS pin and current sense resistor). Since

the LM5071-50 is not capable of duty cycles greater than

50%, there is no slope compensation feature in this device.

Softstart

The softstart feature allows the power converter to gradually

reach the initial steady state operating point, thereby reduc-

ing start-up stresses, output overshoot and current surges.

At power on, after the V

undervoltage lockout threshold is

satisfied, an internal 10µA current source charges an exter-

nal capacitor connected to the SS pin. The capacitor voltage

will ramp up slowly and will limit the COMP pin voltage and

the duty cycle of the output pulses.

Gate Driver and Maximum Duty

Cycle Limit

The LM5071 provides an internal gate driver (OUT), which

can source and sink a peak current of 800mA. The LM5071

is available in two duty cycle limit options. The maximum

output duty cycle is typically 80% for the LM5071-80 option

and precisely equal to 50% for the LM5071-50 option. The

maximum duty cycle function for the LM5071-50 is accom-

Gate Driver and Maximum Duty

Cycle Limit (Continued)

plished with an internal toggle flip-flop which ensures an

accurate duty cycle limit. The internal oscillator frequency of

the LM5071-50 is therefore twice the operating frequency of

the PWM controller (OUT pin).

The 80% maximum duty cycle limit of the LM5071-80 is

determined by the internal oscillator and varies more than

the 50% limit of the LM5071-50. For the LM5071-80, the

internal oscillator frequency and the operational frequency of

the PWM controller are equal.

Thermal Protection

Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the

integrated circuit in the event the maximum junction tem-

perature is exceeded. This feature prevents catastrophic

failures from accidental device overheating. When activated,

typically at 165 degrees Celsius, the controller is forced into

a low power standby state, disabling the output driver, bias

regulator, main interface pass MOSFET, and classification

regulator if enabled. After the temperature is reduced (typical

hysteresis = 25˚C ) the V

regulator will be enabled and a

softstart sequence initiated.

Thermal shutdown is not enabled during auxiliary power

operation as the power MOSFET is not running any current

and should not experience an over-temperature condition. If

the drain of the MOSFET exceeds 2.5V with respect to VEE

(internal Power Good de-assertion), PoE UVLO becomes

de-asserted (insertion of PoE or other 48V supply), or the

auxiliary power is removed, thermal limit will be re-enabled

immediately.
