General Description

The MAX5940A/MAX5940B provide complete interface
function for a powered device (PD) to comply with the
IEEE 802.3af standard in a power-over-ethernet system.
MAX5940A/MAX5940B provide the PD with a detection
signature, a classification signature, and an integrated
isolation switch with programmable inrush current con-
trol. These devices also feature power-mode undervolt-
age lockout (UVLO) with wide hysteresis, and
power-good outputs.

An integrated MOSFET provides PD isolation during
detection and classification. The MAX5940A/MAX5940B
guarantee a leakage current offset of less than 10µA dur-
ing the detection phase. A programmable current limit
prevents high inrush current during power-on. The device
features power-mode UVLO with wide hysteresis and
long deglitch time to compensate for twisted-pair cable
resistive drop and to assure glitch-free transition between
detection, classification, and power-on/-off phases.

The MAX5940A provides an active-high (PGOOD) open-
drain output and a fixed UVLO threshold. The MAX5940B
provides both active-high (PGOOD) and active-low
(PGOOD) outputs and has an adjustable UVLO threshold
with the default value compliant to the 802.3af standard.
The MAX5940A/MAX5940B are designed to work with or
without an external diode bridge.

The MAX5940A/MAX5940B are available in 8-pin SO
packages and are rated over the extended temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C.
