Product details
Overview
LM5070MTC-80/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an IEEE 802.3af-compliant Powered Device (PD) interface and current-mode PWM controller IC with integrated 80V/400mA MOSFET, programmable inrush current limit (75–390 mA), 80% max duty cycle with slope compensation, and internal 7.8V VCC regulator. It enables PoE-powered endpoints such as VoIP phones and IP cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB datasheet, LM5070MTC-80/NOPB pinout, LM5070MTC-80/NOPB application, or LM5070MTC-80/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include IEEE 802.3af signature/classification compliance, inrush current programmability via RCLP, UVLO hysteresis control, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and compatibility with flyback/forward topologies requiring single-gate drive.
Technical Context
The LM5070MTC-80/NOPB integrates dual functional blocks: a PoE PD interface supporting detection (1.8–10V), classification (12.5–20.5V), and UVLO (programmable 23–75V range with 10µA hysteresis current), plus a current-mode PWM controller with 200 kHz typical oscillator frequency (RT-set), 800 mA peak gate drive, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting triggered at 0.5 V on CS.
Its architecture features automatic power sequencing-interface MOSFET charges the SMPS input capacitor until RTN falls below 1.5 V relative to VEE, then enables VCC regulation and soft-start-plus dedicated analog return (ARTN) for noise-sensitive circuitry including error amplifier and current sense amplifier, ensuring stable loop control in isolated/non-isolated DC-DC designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IEEE Compliance | Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af Powered Device interface requirements including signature (25 kΩ), classification, and inrush current limiting. |
| Integrated MOSFET | 80 V breakdown, 1 Ω RDS(ON), 400 mA continuous rating-eliminates external high-voltage switch for PoE input stage. |
| Inrush Current Limit | Programmable 75–390 mA via RCLP pin; default 390 mA when open-ensures <75 ms capacitor charge per 802.3af. |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 80% maximum with internal slope compensation-supports stable current-mode control above 50% duty in flyback converters. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 175–225 kHz (RT = 30.3 kΩ); externally synchronizable-enables EMI reduction and multi-converter phase alignment. |
| Thermal Protection | 165°C junction shutdown with 25°C hysteresis-prevents latch-up during overload or poor heatsinking in TSSOP-16 package. |
| VCC Regulator | 7.8 V ±0.3 V output, 15 mA current limit-powers internal circuitry directly from VIN up to 75 V without auxiliary winding. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (Package Code PW), thermally enhanced with exposed pad bonded to VEE; 0.65 mm pitch, 5.0 × 4.4 mm body size; RoHS-compliant, lead-free (NOPB suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| RSIG (2) | Signature resistor connection | Connects 25 kΩ resistor to VIN for 802.3af detection impedance; disabled above 11 V. |
| RCLASS (3) | Classification current sink | Sinks programmable current (0–44 mA) to set IEEE 802.3af Class 0–4; open = Class 0. |

| UVLORTN (5) | UVLO divider return | Return node for UVLO resistor network; must not connect to VEE to maintain <10 µA offset current. |
| RCLP (6) | Inrush current programming | Resistor value sets initial charging current (75–390 mA); open = 390 mA default. |
| VEE (7) | Negative supply reference | System low-potential return; connected to RJ45 barrel rectifier negative output. |
| RTN (8) | SMPS return path | Drain of internal MOSFET; connects VEE to dc-dc converter return-critical for current sensing accuracy. |
| OUT (9) | PWM gate driver output | 800 mA peak sink capability drives external N-channel MOSFET gate in flyback/forward topologies. |
| VCC (10) | Internal bias regulator output | 7.8 V regulated supply; powers internal logic; shuts down if auxiliary winding fails to sustain >6.25 V. |
| FB (11) | Error amplifier inverting input | 1.25 V internal reference; used for output voltage feedback in non-isolated designs or optocoupler interface in isolated ones. |
| COMP (12) | Error amplifier output | Open-drain output with 5 kΩ internal pull-up; interfaces directly to optocoupler LED or compensation network. |
| CS (13) | Current sense input | 0.5 V overcurrent threshold; blanked for 55 ns to reject leading-edge spikes-enables precise cycle-by-cycle limiting. |
| RT/SYNC (14) | Oscillator timing & sync input | RT resistor sets frequency; accepts narrow AC-coupled sync pulses >3.7 V for external clock synchronization. |
| SS (15) | Soft-start ramp control | 10 µA internal current source charges external capacitor to control startup dV/dt and reduce stress. |
| ARTN (16) | Analog ground reference | Dedicated return for FB, COMP, CS, and RT-minimizes noise coupling into sensitive analog circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Powered Device interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5071MTC-80/NOPB | Same pinout and core functionality, but includes integrated 100 V MOSFET and supports 802.3at Type 2 (30 W) with higher current limit. | Required for PoE+ (802.3at) systems needing >15.4 W; not drop-in for 802.3af-only designs due to higher VDS rating and altered thermal profile. | Select LM5071MTC-80/NOPB only when upgrading to PoE+ or operating above 75 V input; LM5070MTC-80/NOPB remains optimal for cost-sensitive 802.3af deployments. |
| LT4275AIMSE#TRPBF | Linear Technology (Analog Devices) 802.3af PD interface with integrated 100 V MOSFET, but no integrated PWM controller-requires external DC-DC controller. | Used in designs where separate PWM IC is preferred for flexibility or higher efficiency; lacks built-in oscillator, soft-start, or error amplifier. | Choose LT4275AIMSE#TRPBF when modular architecture is needed or when combining with advanced controllers like LT3748; LM5070MTC-80/NOPB offers tighter integration and lower BOM count. |
Compared with LM5071MTC-80/NOPB, LM5070MTC-80/NOPB provides optimized 802.3af compliance at lower cost and thermal footprint, while LT4275AIMSE#TRPBF trades integration for design flexibility-making LM5070MTC-80/NOPB the most balanced choice for standard PoE-powered endpoints requiring self-contained power conversion.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB?
The LM5070MTC-80/NOPB supports a maximum input voltage of 75 V across VIN to VEE, with absolute maximum rating of 80 V. Operation above 75 V violates IEEE 802.3af specifications and risks exceeding thermal limits in the TSSOP-16 package. The internal 80 V MOSFET and UVLO circuitry are rated for transient surges up to 80 V, but sustained operation must remain ≤75 V per datasheet Operating Ratings.
How does the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB implement IEEE 802.3af signature detection?
The LM5070MTC-80/NOPB implements signature detection by enabling a 25 kΩ resistor between VIN and RSIG when input voltage exceeds 1.8 V, creating the required 23.75–26.25 kΩ impedance window. The device draws <10 µA during detection mode and disables the signature resistor above 11 V to reduce power loss. This hardware-based approach meets PSE measurement requirements without software intervention.
Can the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB be used in isolated flyback converter designs?
Yes, the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB supports isolated flyback topologies via its COMP pin, which provides an open-drain error amplifier output compatible with optocoupler feedback. An internal 5 kΩ pull-up resistor biases the optocoupler LED, and the FB pin can be tied to ARTN to disable the internal error amplifier when secondary-side regulation is used-enabling flexible implementation in both isolated and non-isolated systems.
What is the purpose of the ARTN pin on the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB?
The ARTN pin on the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB serves as the dedicated analog ground return for noise-sensitive circuitry-including FB, COMP, CS, and RT-to prevent switching noise from the power ground (RTN) from corrupting feedback and current sense signals. Connecting ARTN separately to a clean ground plane improves regulation accuracy, reduces EMI susceptibility, and stabilizes current-mode control in high-noise PoE environments.
Does the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB require external components for basic IEEE 802.3af compliance?
Yes, the LM5070MTC-80/NOPB requires external components for full IEEE 802.3af compliance: a 25 kΩ resistor between VIN and RSIG for signature detection, a classification resistor between RCLASS and VEE (or open for Class 0), UVLO divider resistors between VIN–UVLO–UVLORTN, and an RCLP resistor for inrush current programming (optional, defaults to 390 mA if open). These passive components configure critical handshake parameters per specification.
