7.2
Layout Guidelines
The layout of the PoE front end should follow power and EMI/ESD best practice guidelines. A basic set of
recommendations include:
• Parts placement must be driven by power flow in a point-to-point manner; RJ-45, Ethernet transformer,
diode bridges, TVS and 0.1-μF capacitor, and TPS23754 converter input bulk capacitor.
• All leads should be as short as possible with wide power traces and paired signal and return.
• There should not be any crossovers of signals from one part of the flow to another.
• Spacing consistent with safety standards like IEC60950 must be observed between the 48-V input
voltage rails and between the input and an isolated converter output.
• The TPS23754 should be located over split, local ground planes referenced to VSS for the PoE input
and to RTN for the converter. Whereas the PoE side may operate without a ground plane, the
converter side must have one. Logic ground and power layers should not be present under the
Ethernet input or the converter primary side.
• Large copper fills and traces should be used on SMT power-dissipating devices, and wide traces or
overlay copper fills should be used in the power path.
The DC/DC Converter layout can benefit from basic rules such as:
• Pair signals to reduce emissions and noise, especially the paths that carry high-current pulses which
include the power semiconductors and magnetics.
• Minimize trace length of high current, power semiconductors, and magnetic components.
• Where possible, use vertical pairing.
• Use the ground plane for the switching currents carefully.
• Keep the high-current and high-voltage switching away from low-level sensing circuits including those
outside the power supply.
• Pay special attention to spacing around the high-voltage sections of the converter.

•

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use compact loops for dv/dt and di/dt circuit paths (power loops and gate drives)
Use minimal, yet thermally adequate, copper areas for heat sinking of components tied to switching
nodes (minimize exposed radiating surface).
Use copper ground planes (possible stitching) and top layer copper floods (surround circuitry with
ground floods)
Use 4 layer PCB if economically feasible (for better grounding)
Minimize the amount of copper area associated with input traces (to minimize radiated pickup)
Hide copper associated with switching nodes under shielded magnetics where possible
Heat sink the “quiet side” of components instead of the “switching side” where possible (like the output
side of inductor)
Use Bob Smith terminations, Bob Smith EFT capacitor, and Bob Smith plane
Use Bob Smith plane as ground shield on input side of PCB (creating a phantom or literal earth
ground)
Use LC filter at DC/DC input
Dampen high frequency ringing on all switching nodes if present (allow for possible snubbers)
Control rise times with gate drive resistors and possibly snubbers
Switching frequency considerations
Use of EMI bridge capacitor across isolation boundary (isolated topologies)
Observe the polarity dot on inductors (embed noisy end)
Use of ferrite beads on input (allow for possible use of beads or 0 ohm resistors)
Maintain physical separation between input-related circuitry and power circuitry (use ferrite beads as
boundary line)
Balance efficiency vs. Acceptable noise margin
Possible use of common-mode inductors
Possible use of integrated RJ-45 jacks (shielded with internal transformer and Bob Smith terminations)
End-product enclosure considerations (shielding)

Evaluation Board/Kit Important Notice
Texas Instruments (TI) provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. Persons handling the
product(s) must have electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards. As such, the goods being provided are
not intended to be complete in terms of required design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations,
including product safety and environmental measures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor
components or circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit does not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding
electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling (WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore may not meet the
technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.
Should this evaluation board/kit not meet the specifications indicated in the User’s Guide, the board/kit may be returned within 30
days from the date of delivery for a full refund. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY
SELLER TO BUYER AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING
ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
The user assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling of the goods. Further, the user indemnifies TI from all
claims arising from the handling or use of the goods. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the user’s responsibility to
take any and all appropriate precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF THE INDEMNITY SET FORTH ABOVE, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
TI currently deals with a variety of customers for products, and therefore our arrangement with the user is not exclusive.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of
patents or services described herein.
Please read the User’s Guide and, specifically, the Warnings and Restrictions notice in the User’s Guide prior to handling the
product. This notice contains important safety information about temperatures and voltages. For additional information on TI’s
environmental and/or safety programs, please contact the TI application engineer or visit www.ti.com/esh.
No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating to any machine, process, or
combination in which such TI products or services might be or are used.
FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this
equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and Restrictions
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 0 V to 57 V and the output voltage range of 10 V to 15 V .
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load
specification, please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 80°C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above 80°C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components
include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of
devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near
these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
