A TVS, D1, across the rectified PoE voltage per Figure 22 must be used. TI recommends a SMAJ58A, or equivalent, is recommended for general indoor applications. If an adapter is connected from VDD to RTN, as in ORing option 2 above, then 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 within the absolute maximum ratings. Outdoor transient levels or special applications require additional protection.
