Shutdown Interface
To corrupt the signature resistance, the SHDN pin can be
driven high with respect to V
IN
or connected to GND. If
unused, connect SHDN directly to V
IN
.
Exposed Pad
The LTC4265 uses a thermally enhanced DFN12 package
that includes an Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be
electrically connected to V
IN
and must connect to a printed
circuit board heat sink.
Auxiliary Power Source
In some applications, it is desirable to power the PD from
an auxiliary power source such as a wall adapter.
Auxiliary power can be injected into an LTC4265-based PD
at the input of the LTC4265, the output of the LTC4265, or
even the output of the DC/DC converter. In addition, some
PD application may desire auxiliary supply dominance or
may be configured for PoE dominance. Furthermore, PD
applications may also opt for a seamless transition —
that is, without power disruption — between PoE and
auxiliary power.
The most common auxiliary power option injects power
between the LTC4265 and the DC/DC converter. Figure 10
presents an example of this application.
In this example, the auxiliary port injects 48V onto the line
via diode D1. The components surrounding the SHDN pin
are selected so that the LTC4265 disconnects power to the
output when the auxiliary supply reaches 36V.
This configuration is an auxiliary-dominant configuration.
That is, the auxiliary power source supplies the power even
if PoE power is already present. This configuration also
provides a seamless transition from PoE to auxiliary power
when auxiliary power is applied, however, the removal of
auxiliary power to PoE power is not seamless.

information on implementing a custom auxiliary power
supply.
