QUAD HIGH-VOLTAGE PORT CONTROLLER FOR POE AND POE+ PSES

When connected directly to the host system or configured in Auto mode, each Si3452 high-voltage port controller provides all of the critical circuitry and sophisticated power measurement functionality for the high-voltage interfaces of four complete PSE ports. The Si3452 fully integrates robust, low-RON (0.3 ohm typical) power MOSFET switches, low-power dissipation current sensing circuitry, and transient voltage surge suppression devices.

The on-chip current sense circuitry and power MOSFETs provide programmable scaling of current limits to match either PoE (350 mA, 15.4 W), PoE+ (600 mA, 30 W), and extended (800 mA, 40 W) power requirements on a perport basis. Designed for use in Endpoint PSE (e.g., Ethernet switches) or Midspan PSE (e.g., inline power injectors) applications, each Si3452 also performs the IEEE-required powered device (PD) detection, classification, and disconnect functionality.

The flexible architecture enables powered device disconnect detection using Silicon Laboratories’ proprietary dV/dt disconnect sensing algorithm. dV/dt disconnect is an alternative to dc disconnect that requires no additional BOM components, does not dissipate extra device power, and fully interoperates with all  powered devices. Also provided are multi-point detection algorithms and per-port current and voltage monitoring.Intelligent protection circuitry includes power supply undervoltage lockout (UVLO), port output current limiting and short-circuit protection, thermal overload sensing and port shutdown, and transient voltage surge suppressors capable of protecting the Si3452 from a variety of harsh surge events seen on the RJ-45 interface.

To maximize system design flexibility and minimize cost, each Si3452 connects directly to a system host controller through an I2C serial interface, eliminating the need for an external MCU. The Si3452 can be set to one of 12 unique addresses, allowing control of up to 48 ports on a single I2C bus.

Si3452MS8  8端口評估板

The Si3452MS8 8-port evaluation kit (Si3452MS8-KIT) is intended for Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) system designers interested in evaluating the Quad-port Si3452 PSE controller. While evaluation kits are normally shipped with Si3452 devices that use Silicon Laboratories’ proprietary dV/dt™ disconnect, they can also be used for evaluation of the pin-compatible Si3453, which uses dc disconnect. In this case, the Si3452 devices must be replaced with the appropriate Si3453 device. Please refer to “8. Ordering Guide” on page 38 for more information.

The Si3452 is controlled through an I2C (or SMBus) interface. For convenience in evaluation, a graphical user interface (GUI) is provided, giving an easy-to-use visual display and control of the Si3452 I2C registers. The evaluation kit assumes the user has access to a PC to control the evaluation board with the provided GUI.

The user is also responsible for providing an appropriate high-voltage power supply. The power supply should be 45 to 57 V for normal PoE or 51 to 57 V for PoE+. The Si3452 can supply over 30 W to each port. Thus, the two Si3452 controllers for the eight port demo system can provide over 240 W of total power. Normally, a 50 to 100 W power supply is used. While the classification and actual current consumption of each port is available, the demo GUI does not implement system-level power management. Contact Silicon Laboratories for more information about system-level power management options.

The Si3452MS8 kit has been thoroughly tested for standards compliance and interoperability. Contact Silicon Laboratories for test reports using Sifos PoE test equipment and University of New Hampshire PoE standards compliance and interoperability reports.
