Silabs Si3480 PoE电源管理方案

The Si3480 is a power manager intended for use with the Si3452 Power over Ethernet (PoE) controller. The Si3480 enables the use of a smaller, lower cost, and more efficiently-utilized power supply in an unmanaged PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) system.

The Si3452 is capable of delivering over 30 W per port, which means that, in a typical 8-port system, a 240 W power supply would have to be used to avoid overload. Typically, not all ports are used at full power; so, a smaller power supply in the range of 30 to 150 W can be used along with the Si3480 power management controller.

The Si3480 power management controller is pin programmed. The pins are used to set the power supply capacity, the number of low power (category 1, 15.4 W), and high power (category 2, 30 W) ports, the port priority, and the detection timing (Alternative A or Alternative B). The Si3480 uses the real time overload and current monitoring capability of the Si3452 to manage power for up to eight ports. Power management is based on actual consumption rather than mere classification in order to supply power to the greatest number of ports.
