REFERENCE SCHEMATIC 5044
Low-EMI, Active-Clamped Forward, Class 4 Powered Device (PD) Provides High-Efficiency Solution for PoE Applications
May 09, 2011
Abstract: This reference design is for a highly efficient and low-EMI active-clamped forward, 5V powered device (PD). The design features the MAX5969B as its controller. The design also uses the MAX5974A, which controls current-mode PWM converters and provides inductive feedback, zero-voltage switching (ZVS), and frequency foldback to reduce cost and enhance supply efficiency for PoE applications. Using these devices, this reference design is IEEE® 802.3af/at compliant, and is a high-performance, compact, and cost-efficient solution for a Class 4 PD. The design can also support the auxiliary input voltage to provide maximum 25W output power.
