Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | power_in | Positive PoE input supply rail, bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to VSS. |
| 2 | DEN | bidirectional | Detection and enable input; connect 24.9kΩ resistor to VDD for PoE detection or pull to VSS during operation to disable pass-through MOSFET. |
| 3 | CLSA | output | Open-drain classification current output A; connect resistor to VSS to set first classification current per IEEE 802.3bt. |
| 4 | VSS | power_in | Negative supply rail connection from PoE source. |
| 5 | VSS | power_in | Negative supply rail connection from PoE source. |
| 6 | CLSB | output | Open-drain classification current output B; connect resistor to VSS to set second classification current per IEEE 802.3bt. |
| 7 | REF | output | Internal 1.5V voltage reference; connect 49.9kΩ ±1% resistor to VSS. |
| 8 | AMPS_CTL | output | Automatic MPS control output; connect resistor to VSS to set MPS current amplitude or leave open to disable MPS function. |
| 9 | MPS_DUTY | input | MPS duty cycle selection input referenced to VSS; resistor to VSS selects duty cycle as 5.4% (open), 8.1% (60.4kΩ), or 12.5% (shorted). |
| 10 | APD | input | Auxiliary Power Detect input; voltage 1.65V above RTN disables pass-through MOSFET, connect to RTN if not used. |
| 11 | RTN | power_in | Drain of PoE pass-through MOSFET; surge current limit approximately 200mA (TPS2373-3) or 335mA (TPS2373-4), normal current limit 1.85A or 2.2A. |
| 12 | RTN | power_in | Drain of PoE pass-through MOSFET; surge current limit approximately 200mA (TPS2373-3) or 335mA (TPS2373-4), normal current limit 1.85A or 2.2A. |
| 13 | PG | output | Power Good; open-drain active high output referenced to RTN, low during surge phase and open when surge complete to enable downstream converter. |
| 14 | VC_OUT | output | Low-voltage auxiliary supply output for PWM controller; bypass with 1µF capacitor to RTN, startup current source capability up to 30mA at VDD ≥ 28V. |
| 15 | VC_IN | input | Auxiliary bias voltage input (typically 8V to 15V referenced to RTN); bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to RTN, connects internally to VC_OUT after converter startup. |
| 16 | UVLO_SEL | input | UVLO selection input referenced to RTN; keep open for PWM with UVLO above 7.25V, pull low for 3.9V threshold selection. |
| 17 | TPL | output | PSE Allocated Power type L output (binary encoded); open-drain active high referenced to RTN, becomes high-impedance if auxiliary adapter detected. |
| 18 | TPH | output | PSE Allocated Power type H output (binary encoded); open-drain active high referenced to RTN, indicates PSE power class allocation. |
| 19 | BT | output | IEEE802.3bt detection indicator; open-drain active low referenced to RTN, low indicates IEEE802.3bt PSE Type 3 or 4 detected. |
| 20 | NC | unconnected | No Connect pin; leave open. |
| 21 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
