TPS23753A IEEE 802.3 PoE Interface and Converter Controller with Enhanced ESD
Immunity
The TPS23753A supports a number of input-voltage
ORing options including highest voltage, external
adapter preference, and PoE preference.
1 Features
Enhanced ESD ride-through capability
Optimized for isolated converters
Complete PoE interface
Adapter ORing support
12-V adapter support
Programmable frequency with synchronization
Robust 100-V, 0.7-Ω hotswap MOSFET
Small 14-Pin TSSOP package
15-kV and 8-kV system level ESD capable
–40°C to 125°C junction temperature range
Design procedure application note – SLVA305
Adapter oring application note – SLVA306
The PoE interface features an external detection
signature pin that can also be used to disable the
internal hotswap MOSFET. This allows the PoE
function to be turned off. Classification can be
programmed to any of the defined types with a single
resistor.
The DC-DC controller features a bootstrap start-up
mechanism with an internal, switched current source.
This provides the advantages of cycling overload fault
protection without the constant power loss of a pullup
resistor.
The programmable oscillator may be synchronized to
a higher-frequency external timing reference. The
TPS23753A features improvements for uninterrupted
device operation through an ESD event.

Device Information (1)
PART NUMBER
TPS23753A
The TPS23753A is a combined Power over Ethernet
(PoE) powered device (PD) interface and currentmode DC-DC controller optimized specifically for
isolated converter designs. The PoE implementation
supports the IEEE 802.3at standard as a 13-W, type 1
PD. The requirements for an IEEE 802.3at type 1
device are a superset of IEEE 802.3-2008 (originally
IEEE 802.3af).

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS23753A device has a PoE that contains all of the features needed to implement an IEEE802.3at Type 1
powered device (PD) such as detection, classification, and 140-mA inrush current mode DC-DC controller
optimized specifically for isolated converters. The TPS23753A device integrates a low 0.7-Ω internal switch to
allow for up to 405 mA of continuous current through the PD during normal operation. The TPS23753A device

8.3.1.1 APD
APD forces power to come from an external adapter connected from VDD1 to RTN by opening the hotswap
switch. TI recommends using a resistor divider. The divider provides ESD protection, leakage discharge for the
adapter ORing diode, and input voltage qualification. Voltage qualification assures the adapter can support the
PD before the PoE current is cut off.
Select the APD divider resistors per Equation 1 and Equation 2, where VADPTR-ON is the desired adapter voltage
that enables the APD function as adapter voltage rises.
RAPD1 = RAPD 2 x (VADPTR _ ON - VAPDEN ) VAPDEN
VADPTR _ OFF =
RAPD1 + RAPD 2
RAPD 2
(1)
x (VAPDEN - VAPDH )
(2)
The CLS output is disabled when a voltage above VAPDEN is applied to the APD pin.
Place the APD pulldown resistor adjacent to the APD pin.
APD must be tied to RTN when not used.
8.3.1.2 BLNK
Blanking provides an interval between the gate drive going high and the current comparator on CS actively
monitoring the input. This delay allows the normal turnon current transient (spike) to subside before the
comparator is active, preventing undesired short duty cycles and premature current limiting.
Connect BLNK to RTN to obtain the internally set blanking period. Connect a resistor from BLNK to RTN for a
programmable blanking period. The relationship between the desired blanking period and the programming
resistor is defined by Equation 3.
RBLNK (k Ω ) = t BLNK (ns )
(3)
Place the resistor adjacent to the BLNK pin when it is used.
8.3.1.3 CLS
Connect a resistor from CLS to VSS to program the classification current per IEEE 802.3-at. The PD power
ranges and corresponding resistor values are listed in Table 8-1. The power assigned must correspond to the
maximum average power drawn by the PD during operation. The TPS23753A supports class 0 – 3 power levels.
8.3.1.4 CS
The current-sense input for the DC-DC converter should be connected to the high side of the current-sense
resistor of the switching MOSFET. The current-limit threshold, VCSMAX, defines the voltage on CS above which
the GATE ON-time are terminated regardless of the voltage on CTL.
The TPS23753A provides internal slope compensation to stabilize the current mode control loop. If the provided
slope is not sufficient, the effective slope may be increased by addition of RS per Figure 8-8.
Routing between the current-sense resistor and the CS pin must be short to minimize cross-talk from noisy
traces such as the gate drive signal.
8.3.1.5 CTL
CTL is the voltage control loop input to the PWM (pulse width modulator). Pulling VCTL below VZDC causes GATE
to stop switching. Increasing VCTL above VZDC raises the switching MOSFET programmed peak current. The
maximum (peak) current is requested at approximately VZDC + (2 × VCSMAX). The AC gain from CTL to the PWM
comparator is 0.5.
Use VB as a pullup source for CTL.

8.3.1.6 DEN
Connect a 24.9-kΩ resistor from DEN to VDD to provide the PoE detection signature. DEN goes to a high
impedance state when not in the detection voltage range. Pulling DEN to VSS during powered operation causes
the internal hotswap MOSFET and class regulator to turn off.
8.3.1.7 FRS
Connect a resistor from FRS to RTN to program the converter switching frequency. Select the resistor using
Equation 4.
RFRS ( k Ω ) =
15000
fSW ( kHz )
(4)
The converter may be synchronized to a frequency above its maximum free-running frequency by applying short
AC-coupled pulses into the FRS pin. More information is provided in Application and Implementation.
The FRS pin is high impedance. Keep the connections short and apart from potential noise sources.
8.3.1.8 GATE
Gate drive output for the DC-DC converter switching MOSFET.
8.3.1.9 RTN
RTN is internally connected to the drain of the PoE hotswap MOSFET, and the DC-DC controller return. RTN
must be treated as a local reference plane (ground plane) for the DC-DC controller and converter primary to
maintain signal integrity.
8.3.1.10 VB
VB is an internal 5-V control rail that must be bypassed by a 0.1-μF capacitor to RTN. VB should be used to bias
the feedback optocoupler.
8.3.1.11 VC
VC is the bias supply for the DC-DC controller. The MOSFET gate driver runs directly from VC. VB is regulated
down from VC, and is the bias voltage for the rest of the converter control. A start-up current source from VDD1 to
VC is controlled by a comparator with hysteresis to implement a bootstrap start-up of the converter. VC must be
connected to a bias source, such as a converter auxiliary output, during normal operation.
A minimum 0.22-μF capacitor, located adjacent to the VC pin, must be connected from VC to RTN to bypass the
gate driver. A larger total capacitance is required for start-up.
8.3.1.12 VDD
Positive input power rail for PoE control that is derived from the PoE. VDD should be bypassed to VSS with a
0.1-μF (X7R,10%) capacitor as required by the standard. A transient suppressor (Zener) diode, must be
connected from VDD to VSS to protect against overvoltage transients.
8.3.1.13 VDD1
Source of DC-DC converter start-up current. Connect to VDD for most applications. VDD1 may be isolated by a
diode from VDD to support PoE-priority operation.
8.3.1.14 VSS
VSS is the PoE input-power return side. It is the reference for the PoE interface circuits, and has a current-limited
hotswap switch that connects it to RTN. VSS is clamped to a diode drop above RTN by the hotswap switch. A
local VSS reference plane should be used to connect the input components and the VSS pin.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
The following text is intended as an aid in understanding the operation of the TPS23753A, but it is not a
substitute for the actual IEEE 802.3at standard. The IEEE 802.3at standard is an update to IEEE 802.3-2008
clause 33 (PoE), adding high-power options and enhanced classification.
Generally speaking, a device compliant to IEEE 802.3-2008 is referred to as a type 1 device, and devices with
high power or enhanced classification is referred to as type 2 devices. The TPS23753A is intended to power
type 1 devices (up to 13 W), and is fully compliant to IEEE 802.3at for hardware classes 0 - 3. Standards change
and must always be referenced when making design decisions.

The IEEE 802.3at standard defines a method of safely powering a PD (powered device) over a cable, and then
removing power if a PD is disconnected. The process proceeds through an idle state and three operational
states of detection, classification, and operation. The PSE leaves the cable unpowered (idle state) while it
periodically looks to see if something has been plugged in; this is referred to as detection. The low power levels
used during detection are unlikely to damage devices not designed for PoE. If a valid PD signature is present,
the PSE may inquire how much power the PD requires; this is referred to as (hardware) classification. Only Type
2 PSEs are required to do hardware classification. The PD may return the default 13-W current-encoded class,
or one of four other choices. The PSE may then power the PD if it has adequate capacity. Once started, the PD
must present the maintain power signature (MPS) to assure the PSE that it is still present. The PSE monitors its
output for a valid MPS, and turns the port off if it loses the MPS. Loss of the MPS returns the PSE to the idle
state. Figure 8-1 shows the operational states as a function of PD input voltage.

PI Voltage (V)
Figure 8-1. IEEE 802.3-2005 (Type 1) Operational States
The PD input is typically an RJ-45 eight-lead connector which is referred to as the power interface (PI). PD input
requirements differ from PSE output requirements to account for voltage drops in the cable and operating
margin. The IEEE 802.3at standard uses a cable resistance of 20 Ω for type 1 devices to derive the voltage
limits at the PD based on the PSE output voltage requirements. Although the standard specifies an output power
of 15.4 W at the PSE, only 13 W is available at the PI due to the worst-case power loss in the cable. The PSE
can apply voltage either between the RX and TX pairs (pins 1–2 and 3–6 for 10baseT or 100baseT), or between
the two spare pairs (4–5 and 7–8). The PSE may only apply voltage to one set of pairs at a time. The PD uses
input diode bridges to accept power from any of the possible PSE configurations. The voltage drops associated
with the input bridges create a difference between the standard limits at the PI and the TPS23753A
specifications.
The PSE is permitted to disconnect a PD if it draws more than its maximum class power over a one second
interval. A Type 1 PSE compliant to IEEE 802.3at is required to limit current to between 400 mA and 450 mA
during powered operation, and it must disconnect the PD if it draws this current for more than 75 ms. Class 0
and 3 PDs may draw up to 400-mA peak currents for up to 50 ms. The PSE may set lower output current limits
based on the declared power requirements of the PD.

states as shown in Figure 8-1. Figure 8-2 relates the parameters in Electrical Characteristics: Controller Section
Only and Electrical Characterisics: PoE and Control to the PoE states. The mode labeled idle between

8.4.2 PoE Start-Up Sequence
The waveforms of Figure 8-3 demonstrate detection, classification, and start-up from a Type 1 PSE. The key
waveforms shown are VVDD-VSS, VRTN-VSS, and IPI. IEEE 802.3at requires a minimum of two detection levels;
however, four levels are shown in this example. Four levels guard against misdetection of a device when
plugged in during the detection sequence.
Figure 8-3. PoE Start-Up Sequence
8.4.3 Detection
The TPS23753A is in detection mode whenever VVDD-V SS is below the lower classification threshold. When the
input voltage rises above VCL_ON, the DEN pin goes to an open-drain condition to conserve power. While in
detection, RTN is high impedance, almost all the internal circuits are disabled, and the DEN pin is pulled to VSS.

TPS23753A
www.ti.com
SLVS933D – JULY 2009 – REVISED DECEMBER 2020
An RDEN of 24.9 kΩ (1%), presents the correct signature. It may be a small, low-power resistor because it only
sees a stress of about 5 mW. A valid PD detection signature is an incremental resistance between 23.75 kΩ and
26.25 kΩ at the PI.
The detection resistance seen by the PSE at the PI is the result of the input bridge resistance in series with the
parallel combination of RDEN and the TPS23753A bias loading. The incremental resistance of the input diode
bridge may be hundreds of ohms at the very low currents drawn when 2.7 V is applied to the PI. The input bridge
resistance is partially cancelled by the effective resistance of the TPS23753A during detection.
8.4.4 Hardware Classification
Hardware classification allows a PSE to determine the power requirements of a PD before starting, and helps
with power management once power is applied. The maximum power entries in Table 8-1 determine the class
the PD must advertise. A Type 1 PD may not advertise Class 4. The PSE may disconnect a PD if it draws more
than its stated Class power. The standard permits the PD to draw limited current peaks; however, the average
power requirement always applies.
Voltage from 14.5 V to 20.5 V is applied to the PD for up to 75 ms during hardware classification. A fixed output
voltage is sourced by the CLS pin, causing a fixed current to be drawn from VDD through RCLS. The total current
drawn from the PSE during classification is the sum of bias and RCLS currents. PD current is measured and
decoded by the PSE to determine which of the five available classes is advertised (see Table 8-1). The
TPS23753A disables classification above VCU_OFF to avoid excessive power dissipation. CLS voltage is turned
off during PD thermal limit or when APD or DEN are active. The CLS output is inherently current-limited, but
should not be shorted to VSS for long periods of time.

8.4.5 Maintain Power Signature (MPS)
The MPS is an electrical signature presented by the PD to assure the PSE that it is still present after operating
voltage is applied. A valid MPS consists of a minimum DC current of 10 mA (at a duty cycle of at least 75 ms on
every 225 ms) and an AC impedance lower than 26.25 kΩ in parallel with 0.05 μF. The AC impedance is usually
accomplished by the minimum CIN requirement of 5 μF. When APD or DEN are used to force the hotswap switch
off, the DC MPS is not met. A PSE that monitors the DC MPS will remove power from the PD when this occurs.
A PSE that monitors only the AC MPS may remove power from the PD.
8.4.6 TPS23753A Operation
8.4.6.1 Start-Up and Converter Operation
The internal PoE undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit holds the hotswap switch off before the PSE provides full
voltage to the PD. This prevents the converter circuits from loading the PoE input during detection and
classification. The converter circuits discharges CIN, CVC, and CVB while the PD is unpowered. Thus VRTN-VDD
will be a small voltage just after full voltage is applied to the PD, as seen in Figure 8-3.
The PSE drives the PI voltage to the operating range once it has decided to power up the PD. When VDD rises
above the UVLO turnon threshold (VUVLO-R, approximately 35 V) with RTN high, the TPS23753A enables the
hotswap MOSFET with an approximately 140-mA (inrush) current limit. See the waveforms of Figure 8-4 for an
example. Converter switching is disabled while CIN charges and VRTN falls from VDD to nearly VSS; however, the
converter start-up circuit is allowed to charge CVC. Once the inrush current falls about 10% below the inrush

current limit, the PD control switches to the operational level (approximately 450 mA) and converter switching is
permitted.
Converter switching is allowed if the PD is not in inrush and the VC UVLO circuit permits it. Continuing the startup sequence shown in Figure 8-4, VVC rises as the start-up current source charges CVC and M1 switching is
inhibited by the status of the VC UVLO. The VB regulator powers the internal converter circuits as VVC rises.
Start-up current is turned off, converter switching is enabled, and a soft-start cycle starts when VVC exceeds
UVLO1 (approximately 9 V). VVC falls as it powers both the internal circuits and the switching MOSFET gate. If
the converter control-bias output rises to support VVC before it falls to UVLO1 – UVLO1H (approximately 5.5 V), a
successful start-up occurs. Figure 8-4 shows a small droop in VVC while the output voltage rises smoothly and a
successful start-up occurs.

If VVDD-VSS drops below the lower PoE UVLO (UVLOR – UVLOH, approximately 30.5 V), the hotswap MOSFET
is turned off, but the converter still runs. The converter stops if VVC falls below the converter UVLO (UVLO1 –
UVLOH, approximately 5.5 V), the hotswap is in inrush current limit, or 0% duty cycle is demanded by VCTL (VCTL
< VZDC, approximately 1.5 V), or the converter is in thermal shutdown.
8.4.6.2 PD Self-Protection
The PD section has the following self-protection functions.
•
•
•
Hotswap switch current limit
Hotswap switch foldback
Hotswap thermal protection
The internal hotswap MOSFET is protected against output faults with a current limit and deglitched foldback. The
PSE output cannot be relied on to protect the PD MOSFET against transient conditions, requiring the PD to
provide fault protection. High stress conditions include converter output shorts, shorts from VDD1 to RTN, or
transients on the input line. An overload on the pass MOSFET engages the current limit, with VRTN-VSS rising as
a result. If VRTN rises above approximately 12 V for longer than approximately 400 μs, the current limit reverts to
the inrush limit, and turns the converter off. The 400-μs deglitch feature prevents momentary transients from
causing a PD reset, provided that recovery lies within the bounds of the hotswap and PSE protection. Figure 8-5
shows an example of recovery from a 15-V PSE rising voltage step. The hotswap MOSFET goes into current
limit, overshooting to a relatively low current, recovers to 420-mA, full-current limit, and charges the input
capacitor while the converter continues to run. The MOSFET did not go into foldback because VRTN-VSS was
below 12 V after the 400-μs deglitch.

Figure 8-5. Response to PSE Step Voltage
The PD control has a thermal sensor that protects the internal hotswap MOSFET. Conditions like start-up or
operation into a VDD to RTN short cause high power dissipation in the MOSFET. An overtemperature shutdown
(OTSD) turns off the hotswap MOSFET and class regulator, which are restarted after the device cools. The PD
restarts in inrush current limit when exiting from a PD overtemperature event.
Pulling DEN to VSS during powered operation causes the internal hotswap MOSFET to turn off. This feature
allows a PD with secondary-side adapter ORing to achieve adapter priority. Take care with synchronous
converter topologies that can deliver power in both directions.
The hotswap switch is forced off under the following conditions:

8.4.6.3 Converter Controller Features
The TPS23753A DC-DC controller implements a typical current-mode control as shown in Figure 8-6. Features
include oscillator, overcurrent and PWM comparators, current-sense blanker, soft start, and gate driver. In
addition, an internal current-compensation ramp generator, frequency synchronization logic, thermal shutdown,
and start-up current source with control are provided.
The TPS23753A is optimized for isolated converters, and does not provide an internal error amplifier. Instead,
the optocoupler feedback is directly fed to the CTL pin which serves as a current-demand control for the PWM
and converter. There is an offset of VZDC (approximately 1.5 V) and 2:1 resistor divider between the CTL pin and
the PWM. A VCTL below VZDC stops converter switching, while voltages above (VZDC + 2 × VCSMAX) does not
increase the requested peak current in the switching MOSFET. Optocoupler biasing design is eased by this
limited control range.
The internal start-up current source and control logic implement a bootstrap-type start-up. The start-up current
source charges CVC from VDD1 when the converter is disabled (either by the PD control or the VC control), while
operational power must come from a converter (bias winding) output. Loading on VC and VB must be minimal
while CVC charges, otherwise the converter may never start. The optocoupler does not load VB when the
converter is off. The converter shuts off when VC falls below its lower UVLO. This can happen when power is
removed from the PD, or during a fault on a converter output rail. When one output is shorted, all the output
voltages fall including the one that powers VC. The control circuit discharges VC until it hits the lower UVLO and
turns off. A restart initiates as described in Start-Up and Converter Operation if the converter turns off and there

is sufficient VDD1 voltage. This type of operation is sometimes referred to as hiccup mode, which provides robust
output short protection by providing time-average heating reduction of the output rectifier.
Take care in the design of the transformer and VC bias circuit to obtain hiccup overload protection. Leading-edge
voltage overshoot on the bias winding may cause VC to peak-charge, preventing the expected tracking with
output voltage. RVC (Figure 9-1) is often required slow the peak charging. Good transformer bias-to-outputwinding coupling results in reduced overshoot and better voltage tracking.
The start-up current source transitions to a resistance as (VDD1 – VC) falls below 7 V, but starts the converter
from 12-V adapters within tST (VDD1 ≥ 10.2, tST approximately 85 ms). The converter starts from lower voltages,
limited by the case when charge current equals the device bias current at voltage below the upper VC UVLO.
The bootstrap source provides reliable start-up from widely varying input voltages, and eliminates the continual
power loss of external resistors. The start-up current source does not charge above the maximum recommended
VVC if the converter is disabled and there is sufficient VDD1 to charge higher.
The peak current limit does not have duty cycle dependency unless RS is used as shown in Figure 8-8 to
increase slope compensation. This makes it easier to design the current limit to a fixed value.
The TPS23753A blanker timing is precise enough that the traditional R-C filters on CS can be eliminated. This
avoids current-sense waveform distortion, which tends to get worse at light output loads. While the internally set
blanking period is relatively precise, almost all converters require their own blanking period. The TPS23753A
provides the BLNK pin to allow this programming. There may be some situations or designers that prefer an R-C
approach. The TPS23753A provides a pulldown on CS during the GATE OFF-time to improve sensing when an
R-C filter must be used. The CS input signal must be protected from nearby noisy signals like GATE drive and
the MOSFET drain.
Converters require a soft start on the voltage error amplifier to prevent output overshoot on start-up. Figure 8-6
shows a common implementation of a secondary-side soft start that works with the typical TL431 error amplifier
shown in Figure 9-1. This secondary-side error amplifier does not become active until there is sufficient voltage
on the secondary. The TPS23753A provides a primary-side soft start, which persists long enough (approximately
800 μs) for secondary side voltage-loop soft start to take over; however, the actual start-up is typically shorter
than this. The primary-side current-loop soft-start controls the switching MOSFET peak current by applying a
slowly rising ramp voltage to a second PWM control input. The lower of the CTL and soft-start ramps controls the
PWM comparator. Figure 8-4 shows an exaggerated handoff between the primary and secondary-side soft start
that is most easily seen in the IPI waveform. The output voltage rises in a smooth monotonic fashion with no
overshoot. The soft-start handoff in this example could have been optimized by decreasing the secondary-side
soft-start period.

The DC-DC controller has an OTSD that can be triggered by heat sources including the VB regulator, GATE
driver, bootstrap current source, and bias currents. The controller OTSD turns off VB, the GATE driver, resets the
soft-start generator, and forces the VC control into an undervoltage state.
8.4.7 Special Switching MOSFET Considerations
Take special care in selecting the converter switching MOSFET. The TPS23753A converter section has
minimum VC operating voltage of approximately 5.5 V, which is reflected in the applied gate voltage. This occurs
during an output overload, or towards the end of a (failed) bootstrap start-up. The MOSFET must be able to
carry the anticipated peak fault current at this gate voltage.
8.4.8 Thermal Considerations
Sources of nearby local PCB heating must be considered during the thermal design. Typical calculations assume
that the TPS23753A is the only heat source contributing to the PCB temperature rise. It is possible for a normally
operating TPS23753A device to experience an OTSD event if it is excessively heated by a nearby device.
8.4.9 FRS and Synchronization
The FRS pin programs the (free-running) oscillator frequency, and may also be used to synchronize the
TPS23753A converter to a higher frequency. The internal oscillator sets the maximum duty cycle and controls
the current-compensation ramp circuit, making the ramp height independent of frequency. RFRS must be
selected per Equation 5.
RFRS ( k Ω ) =
15000
fSW ( kHz )
(5)
The TPS23753A may be synchronized to an external clock to eliminate beat frequencies from a sampled
system, or to place emission spectrum away from an RF input frequency. Synchronization may be accomplished
by applying a short pulse ( > 25 ns) of magnitude VSYNC to FRS as shown in Figure 8-7. RFRS must be chosen
so that the maximum free-running frequency is just below the desired synchronization frequency. The
synchronization pulse terminates the potential ON-time period, and the OFF-time period does not begin until the
pulse terminates. A short pulse is preferred to avoid reducing the potential ON-time.

8.4.10 Blanking – RBLNK
The TPS23753A BLNK feature permits programming of the blanking period with specified tolerance. Selection of
the blanking period is often empirical because it is affected by parasitics and thermal effects of every device
between the gate-driver and output capacitors.
There is a critical range of blanking period that is bounded on the short side by erratic operation, and on the long
side by potentially harmful switching-MOSFET and output rectifier currents during a short circuit. The minimum
blanking period prevents the current limit and PWM comparators from being falsely triggered by the inherent
current spike that occurs when the switching MOSFET turns on. The maximum blanking period is bounded by
the ability of the output rectifier to withstand the currents experienced during a converter output short.

SLVS933D – JULY 2009 – REVISED DECEMBER 2020
The TPS23753A provides a choice between internal fixed and programmable blanking periods. The blanking
period is specified as an increase in the minimum GATE on time over the inherent gate driver and comparator
delays. The default period (see Electrical Characteristics: Controller Section Only and Electrical Characterisics:
PoE and Control) is selected by connecting BLNK to RTN, and the programmable period is set with a resistor
from BLNK to RTN using Equation 6.
RBLNK (k Ω ) = t BLNK (ns )
(6)
For example, a 100-ns period is programmed by a 100-kΩ resistor. For a brand-new design, TI recommends
designing an initial blanking period of 125 ns. This period must be turned when the converter is operational.
8.4.11 Current Slope Compensation
Current-mode control requires addition of a compensation ramp to the sensed inductor (flyback transformer)
current for stability at duty cycles near and over 50%. The TPS23753A has a maximum duty cycle limit of 78%,
permitting the design of wide input-range flyback converters with a lower voltage stress on the output rectifiers.
While the maximum duty cycle is 78%, converters may be designed that run at duty cycles well below this for a
narrower, 36-V to 57-V range. The TPS23753A provides a fixed internal compensation ramp that suffices for
most applications. RS (see Figure 8-8) may be used if the internally provided slope compensation is not enough.
It works with ramp current (IPK = ISL-EX, approximately 40 μA) that flows out of the CS pin when the MOSFET is
on. The IPK specification does not include the approximately 3-μA fixed current that flows out of the CS pin.
Most current-mode control papers and application notes define the slope values in terms of VPP/TS (peak ramp
voltage / switching period); however, Electrical Characteristics: Controller Section Only specifies the slope peak
(VSLOPE) based on the maximum duty cycle. Assuming that the desired slope, VSLOPE-D (in mV/period), is based
on the full period, compute RS per Equation 7 where VSLOPE, DMAX, and ISL-EX are from Electrical
Characteristics: Controller Section Only with voltages in mV, current in μA, and the duty cycle is unitless (for
example, DMAX = 0.78).

CS may be required if the presence of RS causes increased noise, due to adjacent signals like the gate drive, to
appear at the CS pin. The TPS23753A has an internal pulldown on CS ( approximately 400 Ω maximum) while
the MOSFET is OFF to reduce cycle-to-cycle carry-over voltage on CS.
8.4.12 Adapter ORing
Many PoE-capable devices are designed to operate from either a wall adapter or PoE power. A local power
solution adds cost and complexity, but allows a product to be used if PoE is not available in a particular
installation. While most applications only require that the PD operate when both sources are present, the

TPS23753A supports forced operation from either of the power sources. Figure 8-9 illustrates three options for
diode ORing external power into a PD. Only one option would be used in any particular design. Option 1 applies
power to the TPS23753A PoE input, option 2 applies power between the TPS23753A PoE section and the
power circuit, and option 3 applies power to the output side of the converter. Each of these options has
advantages and disadvantages. A detailed discussion of the TPS23753A and ORing solutions is covered in
application note Advanced Adapter ORing Solutions using the TPS23753, (SLVA306).

Figure 8-9. ORing Configurations
Preference of one power source presents a number of challenges. Combinations of adapter output voltage
(nominal and tolerance), power insertion point, and which source is preferred determine solution complexity.
Several factors contributing to the complexity are the natural high-voltage selection of diode ORing (the simplest
method of combining sources), the current limit implicit in the PSE, PD inrush, and protection circuits (necessary
for operation and reliability). Creating simple and seamless solutions is difficult if not impossible for many of the
combinations. However, the TPS23753A offers several built-in features that simplify some combinations.
Several examples demonstrate the limitations inherent in ORing solutions. Diode ORing a 48-V adapter with PoE
(option 1) presents the problem that either source might be higher. A blocking switch would be required to assure
which source was active. A second example is combining a 12-V adapter with PoE using option 2. The converter
draws approximately four times the current at 12 V from the adapter than it does from PoE at 48 V. Transition
from adapter power to PoE may demand more current than can be supplied by the PSE. The converter must be
turned off while CIN capacitance charges, with a subsequent converter restart at the higher voltage and lower
input current. A third example is use of a 12-V adapter with ORing option 1. The PD hotswap would have to
handle four times the current, and have 1/16 the resistance (be 16 times larger) to dissipate equal power. A
fourth example is that MPS is lost when running from the adapter, causing the PSE to remove power from the
PD. If adapter power is then lost, the PD stops operating until the PSE detects and powers the PD.
The most popular preferential ORing scheme is option 2 with adapter priority. The hotswap MOSFET is disabled
when the adapter is used to pull APD high, blocking the PoE source from powering the output. This solution
works well with a wide range of adapter voltages, is simple, and requires few external parts. When the AC power
fails, or the adapter is removed, the hotswap switch is enabled. In the simplest implementation, the PD
momentarily loses power until the PSE completes its start-up cycle.
The DEN pin can be used to disable the PoE input when ORing with option 3. This is an adapter priority
implementation. Pulling DEN low, while creating an invalid detection signature, disables the hotswap MOSFET,
and prevents the PD from redetecting. This would typically be accomplished with an optocoupler that is driven
from the secondary side of the converter.
The least popular technique is PoE priority. It is implemented by placing a diode between the PD supply voltage,
VDD, and the DC-DC controller bias voltage, VDD1. The diode prevents reverse biasing of the PoE input diode
bridges when option 2 adapter ORing is used. The PSE may then detect, classify, and provide power to the PD

while a live adapter is connected. As long as the PoE voltage is greater than the adapter voltage, the PSE
powers the load. The APD function is not used in this technique.
The IEEE standards require that the PI conductors be electrically isolated from ground and all other system
potentials not part of the PI interface. The adapter must meet a minimum 1500-Vac dielectric withstand test
between the output and all other connections for options 1 and 2. The adapter only needs this isolation for option
3 if it is not provided by the converter.
Adapter ORing diodes are shown for all the options to protect against a reverse-voltage adapter, a short on the
adapter input pins, and damage to a low-voltage adapter. ORing is sometimes accomplished with a MOSFET in
option 3.
8.4.13 Protection
A TVS across the rectified PoE voltage per Figure 9-1 must be used. For general indoor applications, TI
recommends an SMAJ58A or a part with equal to or better performance. If an adapter is connected from VDD1 to
RTN, as in ORing option 2 above, voltage transients caused by the input cable inductance ringing with the
internal PD capacitance can occur. Adequate capacitive filtering or a TVS must limit this voltage to be within the
Absolute Maximum Ratings. Configurations that use DVDD as in Figure 8-10 may require additional protection
against ESD transients that would turn DVDD off and force all the voltage to appear across the internal hotswap
MOSFET. CVDD and DRTN per Figure 8-10 provide this additional protection.

8.4.14 Frequency Dithering for Conducted Emissions Control
The international standard CISPR 22 (and adopted versions) is often used as a requirement for conducted
emissions. Ethernet cables are covered as a telecommunication port under section 5.2 for conducted emissions.
Meeting EMI requirements is often a challenge, with the lower limits of Class B being especially hard. Circuit
board layout, filtering, and snubbing various nodes in the power circuit are the first layer of control techniques. A
more detailed discussion of EMI control is presented in Practical Guidelines to Designing an EMI Compliant PoE
Powered Device With Isolated Flyback, SLUA469. Additionally, IEEE 802.3at sections 33.3 and 33.4 have
requirements for noise injected onto the Ethernet cable based on compatibility with data transmission.
Occasionally, a technique referred to as frequency dithering is used to provide additional EMI measurement
reduction. The switching frequency is modulated to spread the narrowband individual harmonics across a wider
