MAX5991A /MAX5991B
IEEE 02. af-Compliant High-Efficiency
Class 1 Class 2 Powered Devices
with Integrated DC-DC Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX5991A/MAX5991B provide a complete powersupply solution as IEEE® 802.3af-compliant Class 1/
Class 2 Powered Devices (PDs) in a Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) system. The devices integrate the PD interface with
an efficient DC-DC converter, offering a low external part
count PD solution. The devices also include a low-dropout regulator, MPS, sleep, and ultra-low power modes.
● High Integration Saves Space and BOM Cost
• Efficient, Integrated DC-DC Converter (with
Integrated Switches)
• Built-In Output-Voltage Monitoring
• Protects Against Overload, Output Short Circuit,
Output Overvoltage, and Overtemperature
• Integrated TVS Diode Withstands Cable Discharge
Event (CDE)
• Internal LDO Regulator with Up to 100mA Load
The PD interface provides a detection signature and
a Class 1/Class 2 classification signature with a single
external resistor. The PD interface also provides an isolation power MOSFET, a 60mA (max) inrush current limit,
and a 321mA (typ) operating current limit.
The integrated step-down DC-DC converter uses a peak
current-mode control scheme and provides an easy-toimplement architecture with a fast transient response.
The step-down converter operates in a wide input voltage range from 8.7V to 60V and supports up to 6.49W of
input power at 1.3A load. The DC-DC converter operates
at a fixed 430kHz switching frequency, with an efficiencyboosting frequency foldback that reduces the switching
frequency by half at light loads.
The devices feature an input undervoltage-lockout
(UVLO) with wide hysteresis and long deglitch time
to compensate for twisted-pair cable resistive drop
and to assure glitch-free transition during power-on/-off
conditions. The devices also feature overtemperature
shutdown, short-circuit protection, output overvoltage protection, and hiccup current limit for enhanced
performance and reliability.
All devices are available in a 20-pin, 4mm x 4mm, TQFN
power package and operate over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
The input offset current is illustrated in Figure 2.
Effective differential input resistance is defined as the differential resistance between VDD and GND, see Figure 2.
A 20V glitch on input voltage, which takes VDD below VON shorter than or equal to tOFF_DLY does not cause the device to
exit power-on mode.
Note 7: The WAD detection rising and falling thresholds control the isolation power MOS transistor. To turn the DC-DC on in WAD
mode, the WAD must be detected and the VDD must be within the VDD voltage range.
Note 8: Referred to feedback regulation voltage.
Note 9: Referred to LDO feedback regulation voltage.

MAX5991A/MAX5991B
Detailed Description
PD Interface
The MAX5991A/MAX5991B include complete interface
functions for a PD to comply with the IEEE 802.3af
standard as a Class 1/Class 2 PD. The devices provide
the detection and classification signatures using a single
external signature resistor. An integrated MOSFET provides isolation from the buck converter when the PSE
has not applied power. The devices guarantee a leakage
current offset of less than 8µA during the detection
phase. The devices feature power-mode undervoltagelockout (UVLO) with wide hysteresis and long deglitch
time to compensate for twisted-pair-cable resistive drop
and to ensure glitch-free transitions between detection,
classification, and power-on/-off modes.
Operating Modes
The devices operate in three different modes depending
on VDD. The three modes are detection mode, classification mode, and power mode. The device is in detection
mode when VDD is between 1.4V and 10.1V, classification mode when VDD is between 12.6V and 20V, and
power mode when the input voltage exceeds VON.
Detection Mode (1.4V < VDD < 10.1V)
In detection mode, the devices provide a signature
differential resistance to VDD. During detection, the
power-sourcing equipment (PSE) applies two voltages to
VDD, both between 1.4V and 10.1V with a minimum 1V
increment. The PSE computes the differential resistance
to ensure the presence of the 24.9kω signature resistor. Connect the 24.9kω signature resistor (RSIG) from
RREF to GND for proper signature detection. The device
applies VDD to RREF when in detection mode, and the
VDD offset current due to the device is less than 8µA. The
DC offset due to protection diodes does not significantly
affect the signature resistance measurement.
Classification Mode (12.6V < VDD < 20V)
In classification mode, the devices sink a Class 1/Class
2 classification currents. The PSE applies a classification voltage between 12.6V and 20V, and measures the
classification currents. The devices use the external
24.9kω resistor (RSIG) and the CLASS2 pin to set the
classification current at 10.5mA (Class 1, CLASS1 =
www.maximintegrated.com
IEEE 802.3af-Compliant, High-Efficiency,
Class 1/Class 2, Powered Devices
with Integrated DC-DC Converter
GND) or 18mA (Class 2, CLASS2 = VDRV). The PSE
uses this to determine the maximum power to deliver.
The classification current includes current drawn by the
supply current of the device so the total current drawn
by the PD is within the IEEE 802.3af standard. The
classification current is turned off when the device leaves
classification mode.
Power Mode (VDD > VON)
In power mode, the devices have the isolation MOSFET
between VDD and VCC fully on. The devices have the
buck regulator enabled and the LDO enabled. The
devices can be in either wake mode, sleep mode, or
ultra-low power mode. The buck regulator and LDO are
only enabled in wake mode.
The devices enter power mode when VDD rises above
the undervoltage lockout threshold (VON). When VDD
rises above VON, the device turns on the internal p-channel isolation MOSFET to connect VCC to VDD with inrush
current limit internally set to 49mA (typ). The isolation
MOSFET is fully turned on when VCC is near VDD and the
inrush current is below the inrush limit. Once the isolation MOSFET is fully turned on, the device changes the
current limit to 321mA. The buck converter turns on
115ms after the isolation MOSFET turns on fully.
Undervoltage Lockout
The devices operate with up to a 60V supply voltage
with a turn-on UVLO threshold (VON) at 38.7V (typ), and
a turn-off UVLO threshold (VOFF) at 31.4V (typ). When
the input voltage is above VON, the device enters power
mode and the internal isolation MOSFET is turned on.
When the input voltage is below VOFF for more than
tOFF_DLY, the MOSFET and the buck converter are off.
LED Driver
The devices drive an LED, or multiple LEDs in series, with
a maximum LED voltage of 6.5V. In sleep mode and ultralow power mode, the LED current is pulse width modulated with a duty cycle of 25% and the amplitude is set by
R SL. The LED driver current amplitude is programmable
from 10mA to 20mA using R SL according to the formula:
ILED = 646/R SL (mA)
where R SL is in kω.
Maxim Integrated │ 13
MAX5991A/MAX5991B
Sleep and Ultra-Low Power Modes
The devices feature a sleep mode and an ultra-low power
mode in which the internal p-channel isolation MOSFET
is kept on and the buck regulator is off. In sleep mode,
the LED driver output (LED) pulse width modulates the
LED current with a 25% duty cycle. The peak LED current
(ILED) is set by an external resistor R SL. To enable sleep
mode, apply a falling edge to SL with ULP disconnected
or high impedance. Sleep mode can only be entered
from wake mode.
Ultra-low power mode allows the devices to reduce
power consumption lower than sleep mode, while maintaining the power signature of the IEEE standard. The
ultra-low power-mode enable input ULP is internally held
high with a 50kω pullup resistor to the internal 5V bias of
the device. To enable ultra-low power mode, apply a falling edge to SL with ULP = LOW. Ultra-low power mode
can only be entered from wake mode.
To exit from sleep mode or ultra-low power mode and
resume normal operation, apply a falling edge on the
wake-mode enable input (WK).
Thermal-Shutdown Protection
If the devices’ die temperature reaches 151°C, an overtemperature fault is generated and the device shuts down.
The die temperature must cool down below +127°C to
remove the overtemperature fault condition. After a thermal shutdown condition clears, the device is reset.
WAD Description
For applications where an auxiliary power source such
as a wall power adapter is used to power the PD, the
devices feature wall power adapter detection.
The wall power adapter is connected from WAD to PGND.
The devices detect the wall power adapter when the voltage from WAD to PGND is greater than 8.8V. When a wall
power adapter is detected, the internal isolation MOSFET
is turned off, classification current is disabled.
Connect the auxiliary power source to WAD, connect a
diode from WAD to VDD, and connect a diode from WAD
to VCC. See the typical application circuit in Figures 3
and 4.
The application circuit must ensure that the auxiliary
power source can provide power to VDD and VCC by
means of external diodes. The voltage on VDD must be
within the VDD voltage range to allow the DC-DC to operate. To allow operation of the DC-DC converter, the VDD
and VCC voltage must be greater than 8V, on the rising
www.maximintegrated.com
IEEE 802.3af-Compliant, High-Efficiency,
Class 1/Class 2, Powered Devices
with Integrated DC-DC Converter
edge, while on the falling edge the VDD and VCC may fall
down to 7.7V keeping the DC-DC converter on.
Note: When operating solely with a wall power adapter,
the WAD voltage must be able to meet the condition VDD
> 8V, that likely results in WAD > 8.8V.
Internal Linear
Regulator and Back Bias
An internal voltage regulator provides VDRV to internal
circuitry. The VDRV output is filtered by a 1µF capacitor connected from VDRV to GND. The regulator is for
internal use only and cannot be used to provide power to
external circuits. VDRV can be powered by either VDD or
VAUX, depending on VAUX. The internal regulator is used
for both PD and buck converter operations.
VOUT can be used to back bias the VDRV voltage regulator if VOUT is greater than 4.75V. Back biasing VDRV
increases device efficiency by drawing current from
VOUT instead of VDD. If VOUT is used as back bias,
connect AUX directly to VOUT. In this configuration, the
VDRV source switches from VDD to VAUX after the buck
converter’s output has reached its regulation voltage.
Cable Discharge Event Protection (CDE)
A 70V voltage clamp is integrated to protect the internal
circuits from a cable discharge event.
DC-DC Buck Converter
The DC-DC buck converter uses a PWM, peak currentmode, fixed-frequency control scheme providing an
easy-to-implement architecture without sacrificing a fast
transient response. The buck converter operates in a
wide input voltage range from 8V to 60V and supports up
to 6.49W of output power at 1.3A load. The devices provide a wide array of protection features including UVLO,
overtemperature shutdown, short-circuit protection with
hiccup runaway current limit, cycle-by-cycle peak current protection, and cycle-by-cycle output overvoltage
protection, for enhanced performance and reliability. A
frequency foldback scheme is implemented to reduce
the switching frequency to half at light loads to increase
the efficiency.
Frequency Foldback Protection for
High-Efficiency Light-Load Operation
The devices enter frequency foldback mode when eight
consecutive inductor current zero-crossings occur. The
switching frequency is 430kHz under loads large enough
that the inductor current does not cross zero. In frequency foldback mode, the switching frequency is reduced
Maxim Integrated │ 14
MAX5991A/MAX5991B
to 215kHz to increase power conversion efficiency. The
device returns to normal mode when the inductor current
does not cross zero for eight consecutive switching periods. Frequency foldback mode is forced during startup
until 50% of the soft-start is completed.
Hiccup Mode
The devices include a hiccup protection feature. When
hiccup protection is triggered, the devices turn off the
high-side and turn on the low-side MOSFET until the
inductor current reaches the valley current limit. The
control logic waits 77ms until attempting a new soft-start
sequence. Hiccup mode is triggered if the current in
the high-side MOSFET exceeds the runaway currentlimit threshold, both during soft-start and during normal
operating mode. Hiccup mode can also be triggered in
normal operating mode in the case of an output undervoltage event. This happens if the regulated feedback
voltage drops below 60% (typ).
RESET Output

power source through VCC. Connect the auxiliary power
source to WAD, connect a diode from WAD to VCC. See
the typical application circuit in Figures 3 and 4.
Adjusting LDO Output Voltage
An uncommitted LDO regulator is available to provide
a supply voltage to external circuits. A preset voltage
of 3.3V is set by connecting LDO_FB directly to VDRV.
For different output voltages connect a resistor divider
from LDO_OUT and LDO_FB to GND. The total feedback
resistance should be in the range of 100kω. The maximum output current is 85mA and thermal considerations
must be taken to prevent triggering thermal shutdown.
The LDO regulator can be powered by VOUT, a different power supply, or grounded when not used. The LDO
is enabled once the buck converter has reached the
regulation voltage. The LDO is disabled when the buck
converter is turned off or not regulating.
Adjusting Buck Converter Output Voltage
The devices feature an open-drain RESET output that
indicates if either the LDO or the switching regulator drop
out of regulation. The RESET output goes low if either
regulator drops below 92% of its regulated feedback
value. RESET goes high impedance 100µs after both
regulators are above 95% of their value.
The buck converter output voltage is set by changing
the feedback resistor-divider ratio. The output voltage
can be set from 3.0V to 5.6V (MAX5991A) or 5.4V to
14V (MAX5991B). The FB voltage is regulated to 1.226V.
Keep the trace from the FB pin to the center of the resistive divider short, and keep the total feedback resistance
around 100kω.
Maintain Power Signature (MPS)
Inductor Selection
The devices feature the MPS to comply with the IEEE
802.3af standard. It is able to maintain a minimum current
(10mA) of the port to avoid the power disconnection from
the PSE. The devices enter MPS mode when the port
current is lower than 14mA and also exit the MPS mode
when the port current is greater than 40mA. The feature is
enabled by connecting the MPS pin to VDRV, or disabled
by connecting the MPS pin to GND.
Choose an inductor with the following equation:
Applications Information
Operation with Wall Adapter
For applications where an auxiliary power source such
as a wall power adapter is used to power the PD, the
devices feature wall power adapter detection. The device
gives priority to the WAD supply over VDD supply, and
smoothly switches the power supply to WAD when it is
detected. The wall power adapter is connected from
WAD to PGND. The devices detect the wall power adapter when the voltage from WAD to PGND is greater than
8.8V. When a wall power adapter is detected, the internal
isolation MOSFET is turned off, classification current is
disabled and the device draws power from the auxiliary
www.maximintegrated.com
where LIR is the ratio of the inductor ripple current to
full load current at the minimum duty cycle. Choose LIR
between 20% to 40% for best performance and stability.
Use an inductor with the lowest possible DC resistance
that fits in the allotted dimensions. Powdered iron ferrite
core types are often the best choice for performance.
With any core material, the core must be large enough
not to saturate at the current limit of the devices.
VCC Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces the current peaks drawn
from the input power supply and reduces switching noise
in the IC. The total input capacitance must be equal or
greater than the value given by the following equation
to keep the input-ripple voltage within specification and
minimize the high-frequency ripple current being fed
back to the input source:
Maxim Integrated │ 15
MAX5991A/MAX5991B
IEEE 802.3af-Compliant, High-Efficiency,
Class 1/Class 2, Powered Devices
with Integrated DC-DC Converter
where VIN-RIPPLE is the maximum allowed input ripple
voltage across the input capacitors and is recommended
to be less than 2% of the minimum input voltage. D is
the duty cycle (VOUT/VIN) and TS is the switching period
(1/fS).
The impedance of the input capacitor at the switching
frequency should be less than that of the input source so
high-frequency switching currents do not pass through
the input source, but are instead shunted through the
input capacitor. The input capacitor must meet the ripple
current requirement imposed by the switching currents.
The RMS input ripple current is given by:
where IRIPPLE is the input RMS ripple current.
Output Capacitor Selection
The key selection parameters for the output capacitor are
capacitance, ESR, ESL, and voltage-rating requirements.
These affect the overall stability, output ripple voltage,
and transient response of the DC-DC converter. The output ripple occurs due to variations in the charge stored in
the output capacitor, the voltage drop due to the capacitor’s ESR, and the voltage drop due to the capacitor’s
ESL. Estimate the output-voltage ripple due to the output
capacitance, ESR, and ESL:
VRIPPLE = VRIPPLE(C) + VRIPPLE(ESR) +VRIPPLE(ESL)
where the output ripple due to output capacitance, ESR,
and ESL is:
or whichever is larger. The peak-to-peak inductor current
(IP-P)
Use these equations for initial output capacitor selection. Determine final values by testing a prototype or an
evaluation circuit. A smaller ripple current results in less
output-voltage ripple. Since the inductor ripple current is
a factor of the inductor value, the output-voltage ripple
decreases with larger inductance. Use ceramic capacitors for low ESR and low ESL at the switching frequency
of the converter. The ripple voltage due to ESL is negligible when using ceramic capacitors.
Load-transient response depends on the selected output
capacitance. During a load transient, the output instantly
changes by ESR x ILOAD. Before the controller can
respond, the output deviates further, depending on the
inductor and output capacitor values. After a short time,
the controller responds by regulating the output voltage
back to its predetermined value. The controller response
time depends on the closed-loop bandwidth. A higher
bandwidth yields a faster response time, preventing the
output from deviating further from its regulating value.

PCB Layout
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve clean and stable
operation. It is highly recommended to duplicate the
MAX5991A EV kit layout for optimum performance. If
deviation is necessary, follow these guidelines for good
PCB layout:
1) Connect input and output capacitors to the power
ground plane; connect all other capacitors to the signal ground plane.
2) Place capacitors on VDD, VCC, AUX, VDRV as close
as possible to the IC and its corresponding pin using
direct traces. Keep power ground plane (connected
to PGND) and signal ground plane (connected to
GND) separate.
IEEE 802.3af-Compliant, High-Efficiency,
Class 1/Class 2, Powered Devices
with Integrated DC-DC Converter
4) Connect VDD, VCC, and PGND separately to a large
copper area to help cool the IC to further improve
efficiency and long-term reliability.
5) Ensure all feedback connections are short and direct.
Place the feedback resistors and compensation components as close as possible to the IC.
6) Route high-speed switching nodes, such as LX, away
from sensitive analog areas (FB).
7) Place enough vias in the pad for the EP of the devices
so that heat generated inside can be effectively dissipated by the PCB copper. The recommended spacing for the vias is 1mm to 1.2mm pitch. The thermal
vias should be plated (1oz copper) and have a small
barrel diameter (0.3mm to 0.33mm).
3) Keep the high-current paths as short and wide as
possible. Keep the path of switching current short
and minimize the loop area formed by LX, the output
capacitors, and the input capacitors.
