Product details
Overview
LM5071MT-80 from Texas Instruments is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD) controller with integrated 80 V, 1 Ω, 400 mA internal MOSFET, IEEE 802.3af-compliant interface, and current-mode PWM controller for flyback/forward DC-DC conversion. It supports auxiliary AC adapter input via programmable AUX pin startup and delivers full power sequencing between PoE and auxiliary sources in VoIP phones and IP cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LM5071MT-80 datasheet, LM5071MT-80 pinout, LM5071MT-80 application, or LM5071MT-80 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80% max duty cycle limit, slope compensation (enabled), 200 kHz typical oscillator frequency, classification current programmability, and dual-input (PoE + auxiliary) power management capability.
Technical Context
The LM5071MT-80 implements a fully integrated IEEE 802.3af PD interface with signature detection (1.8–10 V), classification (12.5–25 V), and programmable UVLO (2.00 V threshold, 10 µA hysteresis current). Its internal 80 V, 400 mA MOSFET handles inrush limiting (100 mA initial, 390 mA steady-state) and hot-swap control during PoE power-up.
The current-mode PWM controller features an error amplifier with 1.25 V reference, COMP output with 5 kΩ internal pull-up, cycle-by-cycle current limiting at 0.5 V on CS pin, and slope compensation enabled for >50% duty cycles. Oscillator frequency is set by RT resistor (200 kHz typ. at 30.3 kΩ) and supports external sync.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PoE PD controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5072MT-80 | Same pinout and core functionality, but lacks auxiliary power interface (no AUX pin); no forced UVLO release below 25 V | Suitable only for pure PoE-powered devices without wall adapter support | Select LM5072MT-80 only if auxiliary input is unnecessary and board space allows removal of AUX-related resistors/dividers |
| TPS23753APW | Includes integrated 100 V, 0.6 Ω MOSFET; supports PoE+ (802.3at); no built-in slope compensation; 50% max duty cycle | Targets higher-power applications (>12.95 W); requires external slope compensation for >50% duty cycles | Choose TPS23753APW when upgrading to PoE+ or needing lower RDS(on); verify oscillator and loop compensation changes due to different duty limit |
Compared with LM5072MT-80, the LM5071MT-80 adds critical auxiliary input support; versus TPS23753APW, it trades PoE+ readiness and lower RDS(on) for integrated slope compensation and simpler design for Class 0–4 PoE with dual-source redundancy.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LM5071MT-80 in a PoE-powered device?
The LM5071MT-80 serves as a complete IEEE 802.3af-compliant Powered Device (PD) controller with integrated power interface and current-mode PWM controller. It manages signature detection, classification, inrush limiting, and hot-swap control for PoE input while simultaneously supporting auxiliary 12 V AC adapter input via its AUX pin. The LM5071MT-80 also drives external MOSFETs in flyback or forward DC-DC converters to generate system rails, making it a single-chip solution for dual-input PoE endpoints like IP phones and cameras.
How does the LM5071MT-80 handle power source prioritization between PoE and auxiliary input?
When both PoE and auxiliary inputs are present, the LM5071MT-80 uses internal power sequencing to prioritize PoE as the primary source. The AUX pin enables forced UVLO release below 25 V, allowing the auxiliary input to power the system only when PoE is absent or insufficient. During PoE operation, the internal MOSFET remains active to charge the SMPS input capacitor, while the auxiliary path is effectively disabled unless explicitly enabled via external circuitry. This behavior is inherent to the LM5071MT-80's architecture and requires no firmware or external logic.
What distinguishes the LM5071MT-80 from the LM5071MT-50 variant?
The LM5071MT-80 includes internal slope compensation and supports up to 80% maximum duty cycle, whereas the LM5071MT-50 omits slope compensation and limits duty cycle to 50%. This makes the LM5071MT-80 suitable for flyback converters operating above 50% duty cycle-common in high-efficiency, low-input-voltage PoE designs-without requiring external compensation networks. Both variants share identical pinout, UVLO, classification, and auxiliary interface functionality, but the -80 suffix is required for stable current-mode control in demanding topologies.
Can the LM5071MT-80 be used in isolated DC-DC converter designs?
Yes, the LM5071MT-80 supports isolated topologies such as flyback and forward converters. Its COMP pin features a 5 kΩ internal pull-up resistor compatible with optocoupler-based feedback, and the FB pin can be left unconnected or tied to ARTN to disable the internal error amplifier when secondary-side regulation is used. The LM5071MT-80's current-mode control, cycle-by-cycle limiting, and soft-start remain fully functional in isolated configurations, and its 80 V MOSFET rating accommodates reflected output voltages typical in 5 V or 12 V isolated outputs.
What thermal protection mechanisms are built into the LM5071MT-80?
The LM5071MT-80 incorporates thermal shutdown protection that triggers at 165 °C junction temperature, with 25 °C hysteresis to prevent cycling near the trip point. When activated, the device disables both the internal MOSFET and PWM controller until the die cools sufficiently. This protection is independent of input voltage or load conditions and relies solely on on-die temperature sensing. The TSSOP-16 package (PW) includes an exposed thermal pad to enhance heat dissipation, and θJA is specified at 125 °C/W under standard JEDEC conditions.
