Skyworks Solutions Inc. Si3404 Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Device
Skyworks Solutions Inc. Si3404 Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD) is a highly integrated, IEEE 802.3at Type 1-compliant, Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) Switching Regulator. Skyworks Si3404 integrates all power management and control functions required in a Power-over-Ethernet application. The Si3404 PD converts the high voltage supplied over a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connection to a regulated, low-voltage output supply. The optimized architecture of this device minimizes the solution footprint and external BOM (Bill of Materials) cost and enables the use of low-cost external components while maintaining high performance.The Si3404 integrates a transient surge suppressor. The switching power FET and all associated functions are also integrated. The Si3404 supports Isolated Flyback, Non-Isolated Flyback, and Buck Converter Topologies. The switching frequency for the regulator is tunable with a simple external resistor value to help avoid unwanted harmonics for better emissions control.
The Si3404 PD fully supports the IEEE 802.3at specification for Type 1, single-event classification. Standard external resistors provide the proper IEEE 802.3 signatures for the detection function and programming of the classification mode. Internal startup circuits ensure well-controlled soft-start initial operation of both the hot swap switch and the voltage regulator.
The Si3404 PoE PD is offered in a low-profile, 20-pin, 4mm x 4mm QFN package, ideal for space-constrained applications.
