SLUSCM4B October 2017 – November 2018 TPS2372
PRODUCTION DATA.
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
PG (power good or converter enable) is a pin that when at low level indicates when the internal hotswap MOSFET is in inrush phase. PG goes high impedance when inrush phase is over and can be used to enable a downstream converter to start up. Common interfaces to the converter controller include the soft-start or enable pins.
TPH, TPL and BT provide information relative to the PSE Type (1-2 or 3-4) and its allocated power.
The usage of TPH/TPL/BT is demonstrated in Figure 22.
The TPS2372 is also able to interoperate with non standard PoE++ PSE controllers. If powered from a PoE++ PSE controller, the TPH/TPL/BT 3-bit code becomes "Low-Low-High". This also indicates that the PoE++PSE agreed to deliver the power requested by the TPS2372.
