JAJSK02 October 2020 TPS23731
PRODUCTION DATA
An external resistor (RCLS in Figure 9-1 ) connected between the CLS pin and VSS provides a classification signature to the PSE. The controller places a voltage of approximately 1.25 V across the external resistor whenever the voltage differential between VPD and VSS lies from about 11 V to 22 V. The current drawn by this resistor, combined with the internal current drain of the controller and any leakage through the internal pass MOSFET, creates the classification current. Table 8-1 lists the external resistor values required for each of the PD power ranges defined by IEEE802.3at. The maximum average power drawn by the PD, plus the power supplied to the downstream load, should not exceed the maximum power indicated in Table 8-1. The TPS23731 supports class 0 – 4 power levels. Holding APD high disables the classification signatures.
