General Description

The MAX5965A/MAX5965B are quad, monolithic, -48V
power controllers designed for use in IEEE

®

802.3af-com-

pliant/pre-IEEE 802.3at-compatible power-sourcing equip-
ment (PSE). These devices provide powered device (PD)
discovery, classification, current limit, DC and AC load dis-
connect detections in compliance with the IEEE 802.3af
standard. The MAX5965A/MAX5965B are pin compatible
with the MAX5952/MAX5945/LTC4258/LTC4259A PSE
controllers and provide additional features.

The MAX5965A/MAX5965B feature a high-power mode
that provides up to 45W per port. The MAX5965A/
MAX5965B provide new Class 5 and 2-event classifica-
tion (Class 6) for detection and classification of high-
power PDs. The MAX5965A/MAX5965B provide
instantaneous readout of each port current through the
I

2

C interface. The MAX5965A/MAX5965B also provide

high-capacitance detection for legacy PDs.

These devices feature an I

2

C-compatible, 3-wire serial inter-

face, and are fully software configurable and programmable.
The class-overcurrent detection function enables system
power management to detect if a PD draws more than the
allowable current. The MAX5965A/MAX5965B’s extensive
programmability enhances system flexibility, enables field
diagnosis, and allows for uses in other applications.

The MAX5965A/MAX5965B provide four operating modes
to suit different system requirements. Auto mode allows
the devices to operate automatically without any software
supervision. Semi-automatic mode automatically detects
and classifies a device connected to a port after initial
software activation, but does not power up that port until
instructed to by software. Manual mode allows total soft-
ware control of the device and is useful for system diag-
nostics. Shutdown mode terminates all activities and
securely turns off power to the ports.

The MAX5965A/MAX5965B provide input undervoltage
lockout (UVLO), input undervoltage detection, a load-
stability safety check during detection, input overvolt-
age lockout, overtemperature detection, output voltage
slew-rate limit during startup, power-good status, and
fault status. The MAX5965A/MAX5965B’s programma-
bility includes startup timeout, overcurrent timeout, and
load-disconnect detection timeout.

The MAX5965A/MAX5965B are available in a 36-pin SSOP
package and are rated for both extended (-40°C to +85°C)
and upper commercial (0°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.
