PRODUCTION DATA
The Power Allocation settings in register 0x29 sets the maximum power level a port powers on. Settings for each Class level from 2-pair 4 W (Class 1) up to 4-pair 90 W (Class 8) have been provided to maximize system design flexibility.
The Power Allocation settings in register 0x29 do not set the power limit for a given port. The port and channel power limiting is configured with the 2P (registers 0x1E- x 21) and 4P (0x2A - x2B) policing registers.
During a turn-on attempt, if a PD presents a classification level greater than the power allocation setting for a port, the TPS23881B limits the number of classification fingers presented to the PD prior to turn on based on the power allocation settings in register 0x29, known as Power Demotion. Power Demotion is the number of fingers presented to the PD that sets the maximum level of power the PD is allowed to draw before the PSE is allowed to disable it.
The IEEE 802.3 standard requires PDs that are power demoted by a PSE to limit their total power draw below the Type/class level set by the number of fingers presented by the PSE during mutual identification.
Power Demotion on a port is limited to the Type boundaries as the only means of communication from the PSE to the PD is the number of classification fingers prior to turn on.

Class "X-D" Dual Signature PDs present as Class "X" on each alterative pairset. For example: a "Class 4D" PD presents as Class 4 on both the Alterative A and Alternative B pairsets.
