LTPoE++/PoE+/PoE
PD Forward/Flyback Controller
The LT
®
4276 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 compli-
ant, 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.

pulls down HSGATE, disconnects the signature resistor
and disables classification. The AUX pin sinks IAUXH when
below its threshold voltage of VAUXT to provide hysteresis.
Connect to GND if not used.
RCLASS (Pin 4): Class Select Input. Connect a resistor
between RCLASS to GND per Table 1.
T2P (Pin 5, LT4276A and LT4276B only): PSE Type Indica-
tor. Low impedance to VCC indicates 2-event classification.
Alternating low/high impedance indicates LTPoE++ clas-
sification (LT4276A only, see Applications Information).
High impedance indicates 1-event classification. This pin
is not connected on the LT4276C. See the Applications
Information Section for pin behavior when using the AUX
pin.
DNC (Pin 22): Do Not Connect. Leave pin open.
ROSC (Pin 10): Programmable Frequency Adjustment.
Resistor to GND programs operating frequency. Leave
open for default frequency of 214kHz.
SFST (Pin 11): Soft-Start. Capacitor to GND sets soft-
start timing.
FFSDLY (Pin 12): Forward/Flyback Select and Primary
Gate Delay Adjustment. Resistor to GND adjusts gate drive
delay for a flyback topology. Resistor to VCC adjusts gate
drive delay for a forward topology.
ITHB (Pin 13): Current Threshold Control. The voltage on
this pin corresponds to the peak current of the external
FET. Note that the voltage gain from ITHB to the input of
the current sense comparator (VSENSE) is negative.
FB31 (Pin 14): Feedback Input. In flyback mode, connect
external resistive divider from the third winding feedback.
Reference voltage is 3.17V. Connect to GND in forward
mode.
RLDCMP (Pin 15): Load Compensation Adjustment. Op-
tional resistor to GND controls output voltage set point
as a function of peak switching current. Leave RLDCMP
open if load compensation is not needed.
ISEN(Pin 16): Current Sense, Negative Input. Route as
a dedicated trace to the current sense resistor.
ISEN+ (Pin 17): Current Sense, Positive Input. Route as
a dedicated trace to the current sense resistor.
SG (Pin 18): Secondary (Synchronous) Gate Drive, Output.
PG (Pin 20): Primary Gate Drive, Output.
VCC (Pins 6, 7, 8, 9, 21): Switching Regulator Controller
Supply Voltage. Connect a local 1µF ceramic capacitor
from VCC pin 21 to GND pin 19 as close as possible to
LT4276 as shown in Table 2.
SWVCC(Pin 23): Switch Driver for VCC’s Buck Regulator.
This pin drives the base of a PNP in a buck regulator to
generate VCC.
VIN (Pin 24): Buck Regulator Supply Voltage. Usually
separated from HSSRC by a pi filter.
HSSRC (Pin 25): External Hot Swap MOSFET Source.
Connect to source of the external MOSFET.
HSGATE (Pin 26): External Hot Swap MOSFET Gate Con-
trol, Output. Capacitance to GND determines inrush time.
NC (Pin 27): No Connection. Not internally connected.
VPORT (Pin 28): PD Interface Supply Voltage and External

OVERVIEW
Power over Ethernet (PoE) continues to gain popularity
as products take advantage of DC power and high speed
data available from a single RJ45 connector. The LT4276A
allows higher power while maintaining backwards compat-
ibility with existing PSE systems. The LT4276 combines
a PoE PD controller and a switching regulator controller
capable of either flyback or forward isolated power sup-
ply operation.
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES FROM PREVIOUS
PRODUCTS
The LT4276 has several significant differences from pre-
vious Linear Technology products. These differences are
briefly summarized below. See Applications Information
for more detail.
ITHB Is Inverted from the Usual ITH pin
The ITHB pin voltage has an inverse relationship to the cur-
rent sense comparator threshold, VSENSE. Furthermore, the
ITHB pin offset voltage, VITHB(OS), is 3.17V. See Figure 1.
Duty-Cycle Based Soft-Start
The LT4276 uses a duty cycle ramp soft-start that injects
charge into ITHB. This allows startup without appreciable
overshoot and with inexpensive external components.
The Feedback Pin (FB31) is 3.17V rather than 1.25V
The error amp feedback voltage (VFB) is 3.17V.
applicaTions inForMaTion
Figure 1. VSENSE vs. VITHB
Flyback/Forward Mode Is Pin Selectable
The LT4276 operates in flyback mode if FFSDLY is pulled
down by a resistor to GND. It operates in forward mode
if FFSDLY is pulled up by a resistor to VCC. The value of
this resistor determines the tPGDELAY and tPGSG.
T2P Pin Polarity Is Reversed
The T2P pin pulls up to VCC when active rather than pull-
ing down to GND.
VCC Is Powered by Internally Driven Buck Regulator
The LT4276 includes a buck regulator controller that must
be used to generate the VCC supply voltage.
PoE MODES OF OPERATION
The LT4276 has several modes of operation, depending
on the input voltage sequence applied to the VPORT pin.

Detection
During detection, the PSE looks for a 25kΩ signature
resistor which identifies the device as a PD. The LT4276
signature resistor is smaller than 25k to compensate for
the additional series resistance introduced by the IEEE
required bridge.
Classification
The detection/classification process varies depending on
whether the PSE is Type 1, Type 2, or LTPoE++. A Type 1
PSE, after a successful detection, may apply a classifica-
tion probe voltage of 15.5V to 20.5V and measure current.
In 2-event classification, a Type 2 PSE probes for power
classification twice as shown in Figure 3. The LT4276A or
LT4276B recognizes this and pulls the T2P pin up to VCC to
signal the load that Type 2 power is available. Otherwise it
does not pull up on the T2P pin, indicating that only Type
1 power is available. If an LT4276A senses an LTPoE++
PSE it alternates between pulling T2P up and floating T2P
at a rate of fT2P to indicate the LTPoE++ power is available.
LTPoE++ Classification
The LT4276A allows higher power allocation while main-
taining backwards compatibility with existing PSE systems
by extending the classification signaling of IEEE 802.3.
Linear Technology PSE controllers capable of LTPoE++
are listed in the Related Parts section. IEEE PSEs classify
an LTPoE++ PD as a Type 2 PD.
Classification Resistors (RCLS and RCLS++)
The RCLS and RCLS++ resistors set the classification cur-
rent corresponding to the PD power classification. Select
the value of RCLS from Table 1 and connect the resistor
between the RCLASS pin and GND. For LTPoE++, use
the LT4276A and select the value of RCLS++ from Table
1 in addition to RCLS. The resistor tolerance must be 1%
or better to avoid degrading the overall accuracy of the
classification circuit.

Inrush and Powered On
Once the PSE detects and optionally classifies the PD, the
PSE then powers on the PD. When the port voltage rises
above the VHSON threshold, it begins to source IGPU out
of the HSGATE pin. This current flows into an external
capacitor (CGATE in Figure 5) that causes a voltage to ramp
up the gate of the external MOSFET. The external MOSFET
acts as a source follower and ramps the voltage up on
the output bulk capacitor (CPORT in Figure 5), thereby
determining the inrush current (IINRUSH in Figure 5). To
meet IEEE requirements, design IINRUSH to be ~100mA.
The LT4276 internal charge pump provides an N-channel
MOSFET solution, eliminating a larger and more costly
P-channel FET. The low RDS(ON) MOSFET also maximizes
power delivery and efficiency, reduces power and heat
dissipation, and eases thermal design.

Figure 6. VCC Buck Regulator
EXTERNAL VCC SUPPLY
The external VCC supply must be configured as a buck
regulator shown in Figure 6. To optimize the buck regulator,
use the external component values in Table 2 correspond-
ing to the VIN operating range. This buck regulator runs
in discontinuous mode with the inductor peak current
considerably higher than average load current on VCC.
Thus, the saturation current rating of the inductor must
exceed the values shown in Table 2. Place the capacitor, C,
as close as possible to VCC pin 21 and GND pin 19. For
optimal performance, place the external components as
close as possible to the LT4276.

AUXILIARY SUPPLY OVERRIDE
If the AUX pin is held above VAUXT, the LT4276 enters
auxiliary power supply override mode. In this mode the
signature resistor is disconnected, classification is dis-
abled, and HSGATE is pulled down. The T2P pin pulls up
to VCC on the LT4276B (or the LT4276A when no RCLS++
resistor is present). The T2P pin alternates between pulling
up and floating at fT2P on the LT4276A when the RCLS++
resistor is present.
The AUX pin allows for setting the auxiliary supply turn on
(VAUXON) and turn off (VAUXOFF) voltage thresholds. The
auxiliary supply hysteresis voltage (VAUXHYS) is set by
sinking current (IAUXH) only when the AUX pin voltage is

SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROLLER OPERATION
The switching regulator controller portion of the LT4276
is a current mode controller capable of implementing
either a flyback or a forward power supply. When used in
flyback mode, no opto-isolator is required for feedback
because the output voltage is sensed via the transformer’s
third winding.
Flyback Mode
The LT4276 is programmed into flyback mode by placing
a resistor RFFSDLY from the FFSDLY pin to GND. This resis-
tor must be in the range of 5.23kΩ to 52.3kΩ. If using a
potentiometer to adjust RFFSDLY, ensure the adjustment
of the potentiometer does not exceed 52.3kΩ.The value
of RFFSDLY determines tPGDELAY according to the following
equations:
t
PGDELAY
2.69ns / kΩR
FFSDLY
+30ns
tPGSG 20ns
The PG and SG relationships in flyback mode are shown
in Figure 8.
The SG pin must be connected to the secondary side
MOSFET through a gate drive transformer as shown in
Figure 9. Add a Schottky diode from PG to GND as shown
in Figure 9 to prevent PG from going negative.

Forward Mode
The LT4276 is programmed into forward mode by placing
a resistor RFFSDLY from the FFSDLY pin to VCC. The RFFSDLY
resistor must be in the range of 10.5kΩ to 52.3kΩ. If using
a potentiometer to adjust RFFSDLY ensure the adjustment
of the potentiometer does not exceed 52.3kΩ.
The value of RFFSDLY determines tPGDELAY and tPGSG ac-
cording to the following equations:
tPGDELAY ≈ 7.16ns/kΩ RFFSDLY + 17ns
tPGSG ≈ 5.60ns/kΩ RFFSDLY + 7.9ns
The PG and SG relationships in forward mode are shown
in Figure 10.

and VAUXOFF via R1 and R2 in Figure 7. A capacitor up to
1000pF may be placed between the AUX pin and GND to
improve noise immunity.

In forward mode, the SG pin has the correct polarity to
drive the active clamp P-channel MOSFET through a simple
level shifter as shown in Figure 11. Add a Schottky diode
from the PG to GND as shown in Figure 11 to prevent PG
from going negative.
FEEDBACK AMPLIFIER
In the flyback mode, the feedback amplifier senses the
output voltage through the transformer’s third winding as
shown in Figure 12. The amplifier is enabled only during the
fixed interval, tFB, as shown in Figure 13. This eliminates
the opto-isolator in isolated designs, thus greatly improving
the dynamic response and stability over lifetime. Since tFB
is a fixed interval, the time-averaged transconductance,
gm, varies as a function of the user-selected switching
frequency.

FEEDBACK AMPLIFIER OUTPUT, ITHB
As shown in the Block Diagram, VSENSE is the input of
the Current Sense Comparator. VSENSE is derived from
the output of a linear amplifier whose input is the voltage
on the ITHB pin, VITHB.
This linear amplifier inverts its input, VITHB, with a gain,
ΔVSENSE/ΔVITHB, and with an offset voltage of VITHB(OS)
to yield its output, VSENSE. This relationship is shown
graphically in Figure 1. Note the slope ΔVSENSE/ΔVITHB
is a negative number and is provided in the electrical
characteristics table.

For more information www.linear.com/LT4276
The block diagram shows VSENSE is compared against
the voltage across the current sense resistor, V(ISEN+)-
V(ISEN) modified by the internal slope compensation
voltage discussed subsequently.
LOAD COMPENSATION
As can be seen in Figure 13, the voltage on the FB31 pin
droops slightly during the flyback period. This is mostly
caused by resistances of components of the secondary
side such as: the secondary winding, RDS(ON) of the syn-
chronous MOSFET, ESR of the output capacitor, etc. These
resistances cause a feedback error that is proportional to
the current in the secondary loop at the time of feedback
sample window. To compensate for this error, the LT4276
places a voltage proportional to the peak current in the
primary winding on the RLDCMP pin.
Determining Feedback and Load Compensation
Resistors
Because the resistances of components on the secondary
side are generally not well known, an empirical method
must be used to determine the feedback and load com-
pensation resistor values.

Connect the resistor RLDCMP between the RLDCMP pin and

range. A potentiometer in series with 10kΩ may be initially
used for RLDCMP and adjusted. The potentiometer+10kΩ
may then be removed, measured, and replaced with the
equivalent fixed resistor. The resulting VOUT differs from
the desired VOUT due to offset injected by load compensa-
tion. The change to RFB2 to correct this is predicted by:

OPTO-ISOLATOR FEEDBACK
For forward mode operation, the flyback voltage cannot be
sensed across the transformer. Thus, opto-isolator feed-
back must be used. When using opto-isolator feedback,
connect the FB31 pin to GND and leave the RLDCMP pin
open. In this condition, the feedback amplifier sinks an
average current of ISINK into the ITHB pin. An example for
feedback connections is shown in Figure 14. Note that
since ISINK is time-averaged over the switching period,
the sink current varies as a function of the user-selected
switching frequency.

SOFT-START
In PoE applications, a proper soft-start design is required
to prevent the PD from drawing more current than the
PSE can provide.
The soft-start time, tSFST, is approximately the time in
which the power supply output voltage, VOUT, is charg-
ing its output capacitance, COUT. This results in an inrush
current at the port of the PD, Iport_inrush. Care must be
taken in selecting tSFST to prevent the PD from drawing
more current than the PSE can provide.
LT4276
14
4276fa
For more information www.linear.com/LT4276
applicaTions inForMaTion
In the absence of an output load current, the Iport_inrush,
is approximated by the following equation:
Iport_inrush ≈ (COUT VOUT2)/(η tSFST VIN)
where η is the power supply efficiency,
VIN is the input voltage of the PD
Iport_inrush plus the port current due to the load current
must be below the current the PSE can provide. Note that
the PSE current capability depends on the PSE operating
standard.
The LT4276 contains a soft-start function that controls
tSFST by connecting an external capacitor, CSFST, between
the SFST pin and GND. The SFST pin is pulled up with ISFST
when the LT4276 begins switching. The voltage ramp on
the SFST pin is proportional to the duty cycle ramp for PG.
For flyback mode, the soft-start time is:
tSFST =600µA
nF

ISFST
tPGon +tPGDELAY tMIN
( )
where tPGon is the time when PG is high as shown in
Figure 8 once the power supply is in steady-state.
In forward mode, each of the back page applications sche-
matics provides a chart with tSFST vs. CSFST. Select the
application and choose a value of CSFST that corresponds
to the desired soft-start time.
CURRENT SENSE COMPARATOR
The LT4276 uses a differential current sense comparator
to reduce the effects of stray resistance and inductance
on the measurement of the primary current. ISEN+ and
ISEN must be Kelvin connected to the sense resistor pads.
Like most switching regulator controllers, the current
sense comparator begins sensing the current tMIN after
PG turns on. Then, the comparator turns PG off after the
voltage across ISEN+ and ISEN– exceeds the current
sense comparator threshold, VSENSE. Note that the voltage
across ISEN+ and ISEN– is modified by LT4276’s internal
slope compensation.
SLOPE COMPENSATION
The LT4276 incorporates current slope compensation.
Slope compensation is required to ensure current loop
stability when the duty cycle is greater than or near 50%.
The slope compensation of the LT4276 does not reduce
the maximum peak current at higher duty cycles.
CONTROL LOOP COMPENSATION
In flyback mode, loop frequency compensation is per-
formed by connecting a resistor/capacitor network from
the output of the feedback amplifier (ITHB pin) to GND as
shown in Figure 12. In forward mode, loop compensation
is performed by varying RX and CX in Figure 14.
ADJUSTABLE SWITCHING FREQUENCY
The LT4276 has a default switching frequency, fOSC, of 214
kHz when the ROSC pin is left open. If a higher switching
frequency, fSW, is desired (up to 300 kHz), a resistor no
smaller than 45.3kΩ may be added between the ROSC pin
to GND. The resistor can be calculated below:
ROSC =
fSW fOSC
kΩ
( )
SHORT CIRCUIT RESPONSE
If the power supply output voltage is shorted, overloaded,
or if the soft-start capacitor is too small, an overcurrent
fault event occurs when the voltage across the sense pins
exceeds VFAULT (after the blanking period of tMIN). This
begins the internal fault timer tFAULT. For the duration
of tFAULT, the LT4276 turns off PG and SG and pulls the
SFST pin to GND. After tFAULT expires, the LT4276 initi-
ates soft-start.
The fault and soft-start sequence repeats as long as the
short circuit or overload conditions persist. This condition
is recognized by the PG waveform shown in Figure 15
re peating at an interval of tFAULT.

OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The IEEE 802.3 specification requires a PD to withstand
any applied voltage from 0V to 57V indefinitely. During
classification, however, the power dissipation in the LT4276
may be as high as 1.5W. The LT4276 can easily tolerate
this power for the maximum IEEE classification timing but
overheats if this condition persists abnormally.
The LT4276 includes an over-temperature protection
feature which is intended to protect the device during
momentary overload conditions. If the junction temperature
exceeds the over-temperature threshold, the LT4276 pulls
down HSGATE pin, disables classification, and disables
the switching regulator operation.
MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE
The maximum duty cycle of the PG pin is modified by the
chosen tPGDELAY and fSW. It is calculated below:
MAX POWER SUPPLY DUTY CYCLE
=DMAX tPGDELAY fSW
For an appropriate margin during transient operation, the
forward or flyback power supply should be designed so
that its maximum steady-state duty cycle should be about
10% lower than the LT4276 Maximum Power Supply Duty
Cycle calculated above.
EXTERNAL INTERFACE AND COMPONENT SELECTION
PoE Input Diode Bridge
PDs are required to polarity-correct its input voltage.
When diode bridges are used, the diode forward voltage
drops affect the voltage at the VPORT pin. The LT4276
is designed to tolerate these voltage drops. The voltage
parameters shown in the Electrical Characteristics are
specified at the LT4276 package pins.
For high efficiency applications, the LT4276 supports
an LT4321-based PoE ideal diode bridge that reduces
the forward voltage drop from 0.7V to nearly 20mV per
diode in normal operation, while maintaining IEEE 802.3
compliance.
Auxiliary Input Diode Bridge
Some PDs are required to receive AC or DC power from an
auxiliary power source. A diode bridge is typically required
to handle the voltage rectification and polarity correction.
In high efficiency applications, the voltage drop across the
rectifier cannot be tolerated. The LT4276 can be configured
with an LT4320-based ideal diode bridge to recover the
diode voltage drop and ease thermal design.
Input Capacitor
A 0.1µF capacitor is needed from VPORT to GND to meet
the input impedance requirement in IEEE 802.3 and to
properly bypass the LT4276. This capacitor must be placed
as close as possible to the VPORT and GND pins.
Transient Voltage Suppressor
The LT4276 specifies an absolute maximum voltage of
100V and is designed to tolerate brief overvoltage events
due to Ethernet cable surges.
To protect the LT4276, install a unidirectional transient
voltage suppressor (TVS) such as an SMAJ58A between
the VPORT and GND pins. This TVS must be placed as close
as possible to the VPORT and GND pins of the LT4276.
For PD applications that require an auxiliary power input,
install a TVS between VIN and GND as close as possible
to the LT4276.
