Description
When connected directly to the host system or configured in Auto mode, each Si3453 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 Si3453 fully integrates robust, low-R
ON
(0.3 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 per-
port basis. Designed for use in Endpoint PSE (e.g., Ethernet switches) or Midspan PSE (e.g., inline power
injectors) applications, each Si3453 also performs the IEEE-required powered device (PD) detection, classification,
and disconnect functionality.
The flexible architecture enables powered device disconnect detection using a dc disconnect sensing algorithm.
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 Si3453 from a variety of harsh surge events seen on the RJ-45 interface.
To maximize system design flexibility and minimize cost, each Si3453 connects directly to a system host controller
through an I
2
C serial interface, eliminating the need for an external MCU. The Si3453 can be set to one of 12
unique addresses, allowing control of up to 48 ports on a single I
2
C bus.
