7.3.8 AMPS_CTL, MPS_DUTY and Automatic MPS

To maintain PSE power, the AMPS_CTL output generates voltage pulses. This is translated into current pulses by connecting a resistor between AMPS_CTL and VSS. These pulses are automatically generated as long as the current through the RTN-to-VSS path is not high enough (< ~28 mA). Typical resistor value of 1.3 kΩ is recommended, in applications where the load current may go below ~20 mA and the PSE power has to be maintained.

If a Type 3 or 4 PSE is detected, the MPS_DUTY input can be used to select one out of three duty-cycles (5.4%, 8.1%, 12.5%). The selection is based on various system parameters, which include the amount of bulk capacitance, the input cable impedance and the type of input bridge. Also, inserting a blocking diode (or MOSFET) between the bulk capacitor and the TPS2373 allows the selection of a shorter MPS duty-cycle.Table 4 should be used to select a proper MPS Duty Cycle.

Table 4. MPS Duty-Cycle Selection

PSE Type MPS_DUTY MPS Duty-Cycle
1,2 - 26%
3,4 Short to VSS 12.5%
3,4 Resistance (60.4K typ.) to VSS 8.1%
3,4 Open 5.4%
