PSE Controller addresses IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard.

Providing up to 100 W over 4-pair Ethernet cabling, single-channel LTC4274 is used for power sourcing equipment (PSE) required to provide IEEE 802.3at or proprietary higher power levels. Use of low RDS(ON) MOSFETs and 0.25 Ohm sense resistors eliminate need for heat sinks, and IEEE 802.3at powered device (PD) discovery is accomplished using dual-mode, 4-point detection mechanism that ensures...
