is high impedance until the input voltage rises
above the turn-on UVLO threshold. The output is then
current limited. See Applications Information.
PWRGD (Pin 6): Power Good Output, Open-Drain. Signals
to the PD load that the LTC4257-1 MOSFET is on and that
the PD’s DC/DC converter can start operation. Low imped-
ance indicates power is good. PWRGD is high impedance
during detection, classification and in the event of a
thermal overload. PWRGD is referenced to V
IN
.
SIGDISA (Pin 7): Signature Disable Input. Allows the PD
to command the LTC4257-1 to present an invalid signa-
ture resistance and to remain inactive. Connecting SIGDISA
to GND lowers the signature resistance to an invalid value
and disables all functions of the LTC4257-1. If left floating,
SIGDISA is internally pulled to V
IN
. If unused, tie SIGDISA
to V
IN
.
GND (Pin 8): Ground. Tied to system ground and power
return through the input diode bridge.

42571fb
The LTC4257-1 is intended for use as the front end of a
Powered Device (PD) adhering to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
The LTC4257-1 includes a trimmed 25k signature resistor,
classification current source, and an input current limit cir-
cuit. With these functions integrated into the LTC4257-1,
the signature and power interface for a PD that meets all
the requirements of the IEEE 802.3af specification can be
built with a minimum of external components.
The LTC4257-1 has been specifically designed to interface
with legacy PoE PSEs which do not meet the inrush
current requirement of the IEEE 802.3af specification. By
setting the initial inrush current limit to a low level, a PD
using the LTC4257-1 minimizes the current drawn from
the PSE during start-up. After powering up, the LTC4257-1
switches to the high level current limit, thereby allowing
the PD to consume up to 12.95 watts if an 802.3af PSE is
present. This low level current limit also allows the
LTC4257-1 to charge arbitrarily large load capacitors
without exceeding the inrush limits of the IEEE 802.3af
specification. This dual level current limit provides the
system designer with flexibility to design PDs which are
compatible with legacy PSEs while also being able to take
advantage of the higher power allocation available in an
IEEE 802.3af system.
Using an LTC4257-1 for the power and signature inter-
face functions of a PD provides several advantages. The
LTC4257-1 current limit circuit includes an onboard,
100V, 400mA power MOSFET with low leakage. This
onboard low leakage MOSFET avoids the possibility of
corrupting the 25k signature resistor while also saving
board space and cost. In addition, the inrush current limit
requirement of the IEEE 802.3af standard causes large
transient power dissipation in the PD. The LTC4257-1 is
designed to allow multiple turn-on sequences without
overheating the miniature 8-lead package. In the event of
excessive power cycling, the LTC4257-1 provides ther-
mal overload protection to keep the onboard power
MOSFET within its safe operating area.
Operation
The LTC4257-1 has several modes of operation depend-
ing on the applied input voltage as shown in Figure 1 and
