General Description
The MAX5941A/MAX5941B integrate a complete power
IC for powered devices (PD) in a power-over-ethernet
(PoE) system. The MAX5941A/MAX5941B provide a PD
interface and a compact DC-DC PWM controller suitable
for flyback and forward converters in either isolated or
nonisolated designs.
The MAX5941A/MAX5941B PD interface complies with
the IEEE 802.3af standard, providing the PD with a detec-
tion signature, a classification signature, and an integrat-
ed isolation switch with programmable inrush current
control. These devices also feature power-mode under-
voltage lockout (UVLO) with wide hysteresis and power-
good status outputs.
The MAX5941A/MAX5941B also integrate all the building
blocks necessary for implementing DC-DC fixed-
frequency isolated power supplies. These devices are a
current-mode controller with an integrated high startup
circuit suitable for isolated telecom/industrial voltage-
range power supplies. A high-voltage startup circuit
allows the PWM controller to draw power directly from the
18V to 67V input supply during startup. The switching fre-
quency is internally trimmed to 275kHz ±10%, thus
reducing magnetics and filter components. The
MAX5941A allows an 85% operating duty cycle and can
be used to implement flyback converters. The MAX5941B
limits the operating duty cycle to less than 50% and can
be used in single-ended forward converters. The
MAX5941A/MAX5941B are designed to work with or with-
out an external diode bridge in front of the PD.
The MAX5941A/MAX5941B are available in 16-pin SO
packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
