SLVSER6B May 2020 – November 2020 TPS23730
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS23730 device is a 45-pin integrated circuit that contains all of the features needed to implement a single interface IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 Class 1-6 and IEEE802.3at powered device (PD), combined with a current-mode DC-DC controller optimized for flyback and active clamp forward switching regulator design.
The DC-DC controller of the TPS23730 features two complementary gate drivers with programmable dead time. This simplifies the design of active-clamp forward converters or optimized gate drive for highly-efficient flyback topologies. The second gate driver may be disabled if desired for self-driven synchronous flyback or for single MOSFET topologies.
Basic PoE PD functionality supported includes detection, hardware classification, and inrush current limit during startup. DC-DC converter features include startup function and current mode control operation. The TPS23730 device integrates a low 0.3-Ω internal switch to minimize heat dissipation and maximize power utilization.
A number of input voltage Oring options or input voltage ranges are also supported by use of APD and PPD inputs.
The TPS23730 device contains several protection features such as thermal shutdown, current limit foldback, and a robust 100-V internal return switch.
