Analog Devices LTC9103

Description

The LTC®9101-1/LTC9102/LTC9103 chipset is a 48-port power sourcing equipment (PSE) controller designed for use in IEEE 802.3at Type 2, 802.3bt Type 3 and 4 compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. The LTC9101-1/LTC9102/LTC9103 is designed to power compliant 802.3af, 802.3at,and 802.3bt PDs. The LTC9101-1/LTC9102/LTC9103 chipset delivers lowest-in-industry heat dissipation by utilizing low-RDS(ON) external MOSFETs and 0.1Ω sense resistanceper power channel. A transformer-isolated communication protocol replaces expensive opto-couplers and complex isolated 3.3V supply, resulting in significant BOM cost savings.
