Texas Instruments · Ethernet Transceivers · VQFN-20-EP(5x5)

TPS2373-4RGWR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-20-EP(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

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).
