Interface controllers enable PoE+ PDs

The MAX5969A and MAX5969B IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant interface controllers suit PoE+-powered devices (PDs). These devices are backward compatible with the IEEE 802.3af standard. During the inrush period, the devices limit the current to

The interface controllers can withstand transient voltage spikes up to 100 V without the aid of external components. Additionally, integrated wall-adapter detection circuitry enables the seamless switchover from PoE power to wall power. They suit high-power applications such as IP phones, wireless LAN access points, IP security cameras, and RFID readers. ($1.21 ea/1,000 — available now.)
