enables a Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered device
(PD) to receive power in either voltage polarity from
RJ-45 data pairs, spare pairs, or both. The LT4321 and
eight N-channel MOSFETs replace the eight diodes in a
passive PoE rectifier bridge. The LT4321 eases thermal
design and increases delivered power.
An internal charge pump allows an all-NMOS bridge
eliminating larger and more costly PMOS switches. The
LT4321 works with 2-pair and 4-pair applications. High
impedance input sense pins prevent reverse current on
unused pairs. If the power source fails or is shorted, a
fast turn-off minimizes reverse current transients. Unlike
discrete ideal bridge solutions, the LT4321 will operate
through transients without enabling the MOSFETs on
unpowered pairs.
