Figure 5. Adding Wall Adapter Input Supply (Wall Adapter Supply Takes Precedence Over Power-Over-Ethernet)
Application Circuit 2
Diode D1 prevents the power-over-ethernet to back
drive the wall adapter. Whenever the wall adapter
power is available, the GATE is pulled low to pinch off
the power-over-ethernet. R3 provides the GATE current
flow path. The wall adapter power pollutes the discov-
ery signature, preventing PSE from detecting this PD.
