FeAtures Description
Quad IEEE 802.3at Power
over Ethernet Controller
The LT C
®
4266 is a quad PSE controller designed for use
in IEEE 802.3 Type 1 and Type 2 (high power) compliant
Power over Ethernet systems. External power MOSFETs
enhance system reliability and minimize channel resis-
tance, cutting power dissipation and eliminating the need
for heatsinks even at Type 2 power levels. External power
components also allow use at very high power levels while
remaining otherwise compatible with the IEEE standard.
80V-rated port pins provide robust protection against
external faults.
The LTC4266 includes advanced power management
features, including current and voltage readback and pro-
grammable I
CUT
and I
LIM
thresholds. Available C libraries
simplify power-management software development; an
optional AUTO pin mode provides fully IEEE-compliant
standalone operation with no software required. Proprietary
4-point PD detection circuitry minimizes false PD detec-
tion while supporting legacy phone operation. Midspan
operation is supported with built-in 2-event classification
and backoff timing. Host communication is via a 1MHz
I
2
C serial interface.
The LTC4266 is available in a 5mm × 7mm QFN package
that significantly reduces board space compared with
competing solutions. A legacy-compatible 36-pin SSOP
package is also available.
