MAX5984
Single-Port, 40W, IEEE 802.3af/at PSE
Controller with Integrated MOSFET
19-6142; Rev 0; 12/11
Typical Operating Circuit
General Description
The MAX5984 is a single-port, power-sourcing equip-
ment (PSE) power controller designed for use in IEEE®
802.3af/at-compliant PSE. This device provides powered
device (PD) discovery, classification, current limit, and
DC and AC load-disconnect detections. The MAX5984
operates automatically without the need for any software
programming and features an integrated power MOSFET
and sense resistor. The device also supports new Class 5
and 2-Event classification for detection and classification
of high-power PDs. The MAX5984 provides up to 40W to
a single port (Class 5 enabled) and still provides high-
capacitance detection for legacy PDs.
The MAX5984 provides input undervoltage lockout
(UVLO), input overvoltage lockout, overtemperature
detection, output voltage slew-rate limit during startup,
and LED status indication.
The MAX5984 is available in a space-saving, 28-pin
TQFN (5mm x 5mm) power package, and is rated for the
extended (-40NC to +85NC) temperature range.

MAX5984
Single-Port, 40W, IEEE 802.3af/802.3at PSE
Controller with Integrated MOSFET
Simplified Diagram
Detailed Description
The MAX5984 is a single-port, PSE power controller
designed for use in IEEE 802.3af/IEEE 802.3at-compliant
PSE. This device provides PD discovery, classification,
current limit, and DC and AC load-disconnect detec-
tions. The MAX5984 operates automatically without the
need for any software programming and features an inte-
grated power MOSFET and sense resistor. The device
also supports new Class 5 and 2-event classification
for detection and classification of high-power PDs. The
MAX5984 provides up to 40W to a single port (Class 5
enabled) and still provides high-capacitance detection
for legacy PDs.
The MAX5984 provides input UVLO, input overvoltage
lockout, overtemperature detection, output voltage slew-
rate limit during startup, and LED status indication.
Reset
The MAX5984 is reset by any of the following conditions:
1) Power-up. Reset condition is cleared once VEE rises
above the UVLO threshold.
2) Hardware reset. Reset occurs once the EN input is
driven low (> 40µs typ) any time after power-up. The
device exits the reset condition once the EN input is
driven high again.
3) Thermal shutdown. The device enters thermal shut-
down at +150NC. The device exits thermal shutdown
and is reset once the temperature drops below 130NC.

Single-Port, 40W, IEEE 802.3af/802.3at PSE
Controller with Integrated MOSFET
During a reset, the MAX5984 latches in the state of
MIDSPAN, LEGACY, and OSC. During normal operation,
changes to these inputs are ignored.
Midspan Mode
In midspan mode, the device adopts cadence timing
during the detection phase. When cadence timing is
enabled and a failed detection occurs, the port waits
between 2s and 2.4s before attempting to detect again.
Midspan mode is activated by setting MIDSPAN high
and then powering or resetting the device. By default,
the MIDSPAN input is internally pulled high. Force
MIDSPAN low to disable this function.
Automatic Operation
The MAX5984 operates automatically after the reset
condition is cleared. The device performs detection and
classification, and powers up the port automatically once
a valid PD is detected at the port. If a valid PD is not con-
nected at the port, the MAX5984 repeats the detection
routine continuously until a valid PD is connected.
PD Detection
During normal operation, the MAX5984 probes the output
for a valid PD. A valid PD has a 25kI discovery signature
characteristic as specified in the IEEE 802.3af/802.3at
standard. Table 1 shows the IEEE 802.3at specification
for a PSE detecting a valid PD signature.
During detection, the MAX5984 keeps the internal
MOSFET off and forces two probe voltages through DET.
The current through DET is measured as well as the volt-
age at OUT. A two-point slope measurement is used, as
specified by the IEEE 802.3af/802.3at standard, to verify
the device connected to the port.
An external diode, in series with the DET input, restricts
PD detection to the first quadrant as specified by the
IEEE 802.3af/802.3at standard. To prevent damage to
non-PD devices, and to protect itself from an output short
circuit, the MAX5984 limits the current into DET to less
than 2mA maximum during PD detection.
In midspan mode, the MAX5984 waits at least 2.0s
before attempting another detection cycle after every
failed detection. The first detection, however, happens
immediately after exiting a reset condition.
High-Capacitance Detection
The status of the LEGACY input is latched during power-
up or after reset condition is cleared. The LEGACY
input is internally pulled high enabling high-capacitance
detection. Unless high-capacitance detection is needed,
connect LEGACY to VEE to disable this function. If high-
capacitance detection is enabled, PD signature capaci-
tances up to 47FF (typ) are accepted.

PD Classification
During the PD classification mode, the MAX5984 forces
a probe voltage (-18V typ) at DET and measures the
current into DET. The measured current determines the
class of the PD. If the ILIM1 and ILIM2 pins are both left
unconnected, the MAX5984 classifies the PD based on
Table 33.9 of the IEEE 802.3at standard (Table 2). If the
measured current exceeds 51mA, the MAX5984 does
not power the PD, but returns to the idle state before
attempting a new detection cycle.
Class 5 PD Classification
The MAX5984 supports high power beyond the IEEE
802.3at standard by providing an additional classifica-
tion (Class 5) if needed. To enable Class 5 detection
and select the corresponding current-limit/overcurrent
thresholds, ILIM1 and ILIM2 must be set based on
the combinations detailed in Table 3. Once Class 5 is
enabled, during classification, if the MAX5984 detects
currents in excess of the Class 4 upper limit threshold,
the PD is classified as a Class 5 PD. The PD is guar-
anteed to be classified as a Class 5 device for any
classification current from 51mA up to the classification
current-limit threshold.
The Class 5 overcurrent threshold and current limit is
set with ILIM1 and ILIM2. ILIM1 and ILIM2 are both
referenced to VEE and are internally pulled up to the
digital supply. Leave ILIM1 and ILIM2 unconnected to
disable Class 5 detection and to be fully compliant to
IEEE 802.3at standard classification. Class 5 detection
is enabled, and the corresponding overcurrent threshold
and current limit is adjusted, by connecting one or both
to VEE (Table 3).
2-Event PD Classification
If the result of the first classification event is Class 0
through Class 3, then only a single classification event
occurs, as shown in Figure 1. However, if the result is
Class 4 or Class 5 (when enabled), the device performs
a second classification event, as shown in Figure 2.
Between the classification cycles, the MAX5984 per-
forms a first and second mark event as required by the
IEEE 802.3at standard, forcing a -9.0V probing voltage
at DET. The 2-Event function is disabled by default in the
MAX5984A/MAX5984B/MAX5984E. However, it is not
pin-selectable in the MAX5984E.
Powered State
When the MAX5984 enters a powered state, the tFAULT
and tDISC timers are reset. When the startup timer has
timed out, the device enters a normal powered condition,
allowing power delivery to the PD.

Controller with Integrated MOSFET
Overcurrent Protection
The MAX5984 has an internal sense resistor, RSENSE
(see the Simplified Diagram), connected between the
source of the internal MOSFET and VEE to monitor the
load current. Under normal operating conditions, the
current through RSENSE (IRSENSE) never exceeds the
threshold ILIM. If IRSENSE exceeds ILIM, an internal
current-limiting circuit regulates the gate voltage of the
internal MOSFET, limiting the current. During transient
conditions, if IRSENSE exceeds ILIM by more than 2A, a
fast pulldown circuit activates to quickly recover from the
current overshoot.
In the normal powered state, the MAX5984 checks for
overcurrent conditions, as determined by ICUT = ~88%
of ILIM. The tFAULT counter sets the maximum allowed
continuous overcurrent period. This timer is incremented
both in startup and in normal powered state, but under
different conditions. During startup, the counter increas-
es when IRSENSE exceeds ILIM, while in the normal pow-
ered state the counter increases when IRSENSE exceeds
ICUT. It decreases at a slower pace when IRSENSE
drops below ILIM or ICUT. A slower decrement for the
tFAULT counter allows for detection of repeated short-
duration overcurrent events. When the counter reaches
the tFAULT limit, the MAX5984 powers down the port. For
a continuous overstress, a fault occurs exactly after a
period of tFAULT.
After a power-off due to an overcurrent fault, the tFAULT
timer is not immediately reset but starts decrementing.
The MAX5984 allows the port to be powered on only
when the tFAULT counter reaches zero. This feature sets
an automatic port power duty-cycle protection to the
internal MOSFET to avoid overheating.
In the normal powered state, the ILIM and ICUT thresh-
olds are set automatically according to the classification
result (see Table 2 for classification results based on
detection current and the Electrical Characteristics table
for the corresponding thresholds). During startup, ILIM is
always set to 420mA regardless of the detected class.
Foldback Current
During startup and normal operation, an internal circuit
senses the port voltage and reduces the current-limit
value and the overcurrent threshold when (VAGND -
VOUT) < 27V. The foldback function helps to reduce the
power dissipation on the internal MOSFET. The current
limit eventually reduces down to ITH_FB when (VAGND -
VOUT) < 10V (Figure 3).

Digital Logic
The MAX5984 internally generates digital supplies (ref-
erenced to VEE) to power the internal logic circuitry. All
logic inputs and outputs are referenced to VEE. See the
Electrical Characteristics table for digital input thresh-
olds. If digital logic inputs are driven externally, the
nominal digital logic level is 3.3V.
Undervoltage and Overvoltage Protection
The MAX5984 contains undervoltage and overvoltage
protection features. An internal VEE undervoltage lockout
(VEE_UVLO) circuit keeps the port off and the MAX5984 in
reset until VAGND - VEE exceeds 28.5V (typ) for more than
2.5ms. An internal VEE overvoltage (VEE_OV) circuit shuts
down the port when (VAGND - VEE) exceeds 62.5V (typ).
DC Disconnect Monitoring
Force OSC to VEE and power or reset the device to acti-
vate DC load-disconnect monitoring. If IRSENSE (the cur-
rent across RSENSE) falls below the DC load-disconnect
threshold, IDCTH, for more than tDISC, the device turns
off port power.
AC Disconnect Monitoring
The MAX5984 features AC load-disconnect monitoring.
Bypass OSC with a 100nF (Q10% tolerance) external
capacitor to VEE and power or reset the device to
enable AC disconnect. When AC disconnect is enabled,
a blocking diode in series to OUT and an RC circuit in
parallel to the DET diode must be used, as shown in
Figure 7.
The AC disconnect uses an internal triangle wave gen-
erator to supply the probing signal. Then the resulting
4VP-P amplitude wave is forced on DET. The common
mode of the output signal probed on DET is 5V below
AGND. If the AC current peak into DET falls below IACTH
for more than tDISC, the device powers down the port.
PWM and LED Signals
The MAX5984 includes a multifunction LED driver to
inform the user of the port status. LED is an open-drain,
multifunction output referenced to VEE and can sink up
to 10mA (typ) while driving an external LED. The LED is
turned on when the port is connected to a valid PD and
powered. If the port is not powered or is disconnected,
the LED will be off.
For two other conditions, the MAX5984 blinks a code to
communicate the port status. A series of two flashes indi-
cates an overcurrent fault occurred during port power-on,
and has a timing characteristic detailed by Figure 4. A
series of five flashes indicates that during detection an
invalid low or high discovery signature resistance was
detected and has a timing characteristic detailed by
Figure 5.

Controller with Integrated MOSFET
The MAX5984 also contains an internal square wave,
PWM signal generator. The PWM runs at a typical fre-
quency of 25kHz with an approximate typical duty cycle
of 6.25%. PWMEN is used to enable or disable the PWM.
PWMEN is internally pulled up to the digital supply, and
can be left unconnected to enable the internal PWM.
When enabled, the LED pulses are driven by the PWM
to reduce the power dissipation and increase the system
efficiency. Force PWMEN low to disable the internal
PWM; the LED is then driven directly.
Thermal Shutdown
If the MAX5984 die temperature reaches +150NC, an
overtemperature fault is generated and the device shuts
down. The die temperature must cool down below 130NC
to remove the overtemperature fault condition. After a
thermal shutdown condition clears, the device is reset.
Applications Information
Layout Procedure
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve high efficiency
and low EMI. Follow these layout guidelines for optimal
performance.
1) Place the input bypass capacitance and the output
bypass capacitor (0.1µF ceramic capacitor from
AGND to OUTP) as close as possible to the MAX5984.
2) Use large SMT component pads for power dissipat-
ing devices such as the MAX5984 and the external
diodes in the high-power path.
3) Use short, wide traces whenever possible for high-
power paths.
4) Use the MAX5971 Evaluation Kit as a design and
layout reference.
5) The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered evenly to the
PCB ground plane for proper operation and power
dissipation. Use multiple vias beneath the exposed
pad for maximum heat dissipation. A 1.0mm to
1.2mm pitch is the recommended spacing for these
vias and they should be plated (1oz copper) with a
small barrel diameter (0.30mm to 0.33mm).
