PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS23731 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 1-4 and IEEE802.3at powered device (PD), combined with a current-mode DC-DC controller optimized for flyback switching regulator design. The TPS23731 applies to flyback converter applications, also supporting the use of primary side control.
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 TPS23731 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 input.
The TPS23731 device contains several protection features such as thermal shutdown, current limit foldback, and a robust 100-V internal return switch.
