Product details
Overview
LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD) interface and current-mode PWM controller with integrated 80V/400mA MOSFET, 80% max duty cycle, programmable inrush current limit (75–390 mA), and thermal shutdown protection. It enables single-chip PoE PD designs for IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB datasheet, LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB pinout, LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB application, or LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include IEEE 802.3af signature/classification compliance, internal MOSFET RDS(ON) ≤ 2.2 Ω, slope compensation for >50% duty cycle operation, UVLO programmability (2.00 V threshold), and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with PoE front-end and flyback/forward SMPS topologies.
Technical Context
The LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB integrates a full IEEE 802.3af PD interface-including detection (1.8–10.0 V), classification (12.5–20.5 V), and programmable inrush current limiting-with a current-mode PWM controller featuring slope compensation, 200 kHz typical oscillator frequency (RT = 30.3 kΩ), and 800 mA peak gate drive. Its internal 80V/400mA MOSFET handles line connection switching and inrush control.
Power sequencing is fully autonomous: RTN voltage drop below 1.5 V relative to VEE triggers VCC regulator enablement, initiating soft-start and SMPS operation. The device supports both isolated (optocoupler feedback via COMP/FB) and non-isolated (direct FB scaling) converter configurations, with error amplifier reference fixed at 1.25 V and gain-bandwidth of 4 MHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PoE PD interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5071MTCX-80/NOPB | Same pinout and core functionality, but includes integrated 100 V MOSFET and higher current rating (600 mA). | Better suited for higher-power Class 4 applications or systems requiring extended surge tolerance beyond 80 V. | Select LM5071MTCX-80/NOPB when input transients exceed 80 V or inrush current >400 mA is required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB can handle?
The LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB has an absolute maximum VIN-to-VEE rating of 80 V, with continuous operation specified from 1.8 V to 75 V. This allows safe operation under IEEE 802.3af PoE conditions, including worst-case transients and legacy PSE outputs. Derating applies below –40°C (76 V max). Exceeding 80 V risks permanent damage to the internal MOSFET and interface circuitry.
Does the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB require an external MOSFET for PoE interface operation?
No, the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB integrates an 80 V, 400 mA internal MOSFET with RDS(ON) ≤ 2.2 Ω, eliminating the need for an external switch in most Class 0–3 PoE applications. This internal FET handles signature detection, classification current sinking, and controlled inrush charging - significantly reducing external component count and PCB footprint compared to discrete solutions.
How does the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB implement IEEE 802.3af signature detection?
The LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB implements signature detection by enabling a 25 kΩ resistor between VIN and RSIG when VIN exceeds 1.5 V - accounting for diode drops in barrel-rectifier networks. This yields an impedance of 23.75–26.25 kΩ, satisfying the IEEE 802.3af detection window. Quiescent current remains ≤10 µA during detection, and the signature resistor is automatically disabled above 11 V to minimize standby loss.
Can the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB be used in isolated flyback converter designs?
Yes, the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB supports isolated flyback topologies via its COMP pin, which provides an open-drain error amplifier output with internal 5 kΩ pull-up. When paired with an optocoupler on the secondary side, COMP interfaces directly to the phototransistor collector, enabling precise output voltage regulation. The internal 1.25 V reference and FB pin remain unused in this configuration, simplifying feedback loop design.
What is the purpose of the RCLP pin on the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB?
The RCLP pin on the LM5070MTCX-80/NOPB programs the inrush current limit during PoE startup - critical for meeting the IEEE 802.3af <75 ms capacitor charge requirement. A resistor from RCLP to VEE sets the limit between 75 mA and 390 mA. Leaving RCLP open defaults to ~390 mA. This feature ensures compatibility with both full-power PSEs and legacy low-power sources without redesigning the front-end.
