Texas Instruments · Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Controllers · VQFN-20-EP(5x5)

TPS2372-3RGWT 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 (0-57V); bypass to VSS with 0.1µF capacitor.
2 DEN bidirectional Detection and enable pin; connect 24.9kΩ resistor to VDD for PoE detection (1.4-10.9V range); pull to VSS to disable pass-through MOSFET during powered operation.
3 CLSA output First classification current output; connect resistor to VSS to program Class A current per IEEE 802.3bt Table 1.
4 VSS power_in Negative power supply rail from PoE source; connect to PCB ground plane.
5 VSS power_in Negative power supply rail from PoE source; connect to PCB ground plane.
6 CLSB output Second classification current output; connect resistor to VSS to program Class B current per IEEE 802.3bt Table 1.
7 REF output 1.5V internal voltage reference output; connect 49.9kΩ ±1% resistor to VSS.
8 AMPS_CTL output Automatic MPS control output (23.1-24.9V pulses); connect 1-12kΩ resistor to VSS to set MPS current amplitude, maximum 50mA.
9 MPS_DUTY input MPS duty cycle selection input (0-5.5V); resistor value to VSS selects 5.4% (open), 8.1% (60.4kΩ), or 12.5% (shorted) duty for Type 3-4 PSE.
10 AUTCLS input Autoclass enable input (0-6.5V); internally pulled to 5.5V during classification; pull to VSS to enable Autoclass, keep open otherwise.
11 RTN output PoE pass-through MOSFET drain; output return path referenced to VSS with voltage dependent on load current (0-100V).
12 RTN output PoE pass-through MOSFET drain; output return path referenced to VSS with voltage dependent on load current (0-100V).
13 PG tri_state Power good output (0-100V referenced to RTN); open-drain active-high (0.5V maximum low); indicates startup inrush completion.
14 NC unconnected No connection; leave floating.
15 NC unconnected No connection; leave floating.
16 IRSHDL_EN input Inrush delay enable input (-0.3 to 6.5V referenced to RTN); internally pulled to 5.5V; keep open for 81.5ms minimum delay, connect to RTN to disable.
17 TPL tri_state PSE allocated power output lower bit (0-100V referenced to RTN); open-drain active-high (0.5V maximum low); binary coded power level.
18 TPH tri_state PSE allocated power output upper bit (0-100V referenced to RTN); open-drain active-high (0.5V maximum low); binary coded power level.
19 BT tri_state IEEE 802.3bt detection indicator (-0.3 to 100V referenced to RTN); open-drain active-low (0.5V maximum low); signifies Type 3 or 4 PSE support.
20 NC unconnected No connection; keep open.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
