Si3402 PoE PD Block Diagram

The Si3402 is a complete power supply solution for power over Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) applications. The Si3402 PoE PD device is IEEE 802.3.af compliant.

The Si3402 is the industry’s most highly-integrated, IEEE 802.3 clause 33 compliant, PoE PD interface and pulse-width-modulated (PWM) switching regulator. By setting a new bar for device integration, lowest overall BOM cost, efficiency and reliability, the Si3402 enables designers to easily add PoE functionality to their Ethernet products. When connected in a PoE-enabled system, such as a wireless access point or VoIP phone, the Si3402 converts the high voltage (typically ±48 V) supplied over Ethernet copper UTP cabling into a regulated, low-voltage dc supply. In addition, the Si3402 combines all the required IEEE 802.3 clause 33 detection, classification and hot swap interfaces with a complete, high efficiency, PWM switching regulator, including programmable soft start.

Compared to competing PD solutions, which typically require several external high-voltage discrete devices to complete a PD interface, the Si3402 uniquely integrates two full diode bridges, a transient voltage suppressor and a switching regulator driver FET on chip. Depending on the application’s power supply isolation requirements, the primary benefits of the Si3402 regulator's unmatched integration level are:

  • Elimination of four critical high-voltage BOM components: Two full diode bridges, a transient voltage suppressor and a switching regulator driver FET
  • Reduction in external BOM savings of at least $0.30 to $0.40 USD
  • Reduction of typical PCB layout footprints of 30%
  • Direct connection to RJ-45 jack for reduced EMI
  • Simplified design, PCB layout and validation processes

 

Leveraging Silicon Labs' proven high-voltage design and manufacturing expertise, the Si3402 also enables enhanced PoE functionality, such as intelligent, system-level circuit protection and an early power loss indicator for reliable shut down of the PD when power is lost.

When to Use a Digital Isolator vs. an Optocoupler

Over the last four decades, optocouplers have been the "default" signal isolation device, but recent breakthroughs in silicon isolation technology have spawned smaller, faster, and more reliable and cost-effective solutions that have already begun supplanting optocouplers in many end applications. This white paper discusses industrial isolation issues and ways RF isolation technology can be applied to increase system robustness and performance.

Enhancing Power Delivery System Designs with CMOS-Based Isolated Gate Drivers

As emerging green standards challenge designers to deliver more energy-efficient, cost-effective and reliable power delivery systems in smaller form factors, the need for greater power and isolation device integration becomes increasingly important. A critical building block within ac-dc and isolated dc-dc power supplies is the isolated gate driver. While optocoupler-based solutions and gate-drive transformers have been the mainstay for switch-mode power supply (SMPS) systems for many years, fully-integrated isolated gate driver products based on RF technology and implemented in mainstream CMOS provide a more reliable and power-efficient solution.
