For engineers reviewing the MAX5995BETE+T datasheet, MAX5995BETE+T pinout, MAX5995BETE+T application, or MAX5995BETE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with functional differences, and supply-ready availability details - all grounded in Maxim's official documentation for the MAX5995B variant in TQFN-EP package.
Technical Context
The MAX5995BETE+T implements a multi-event classification engine compliant with IEEE 802.3bt, supporting up to 5 classification events via CLSA/CLSB resistor programming to signal PD Class 0–8 power requests. Its IMPS feature automatically enables MPS current upon detection of port current, eliminating external control logic.
It integrates a thermally enhanced n-channel isolation MOSFET (RON_ISO = 0.1Ω typ at TJ = +25°C), dual-stage current limiting (135mA inrush → 1800–2400mA normal operation), and foldback protection triggered at VRTN = 7.0V (typ). The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and features 35°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on a four-layer board.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX5995BETE+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package (package code T1655+4) with exposed pad (EP) that must be soldered to VSS for optimal thermal performance and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DET | Detection resistor input | Connects 24.9kΩ signature resistor between DET and VDD - enables IEEE-compliant PD detection by PSE slope measurement (ΔV/ΔI). |
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 35.4–60V PoE input; requires ≥68nF bypass capacitor to VSS - powers internal regulator and gate driver. |
| CLSA / CLSB | Classification resistor inputs | Set classification current per IEEE 802.3bt: RCLSA configures Events 1–2 (af/at), RCLSB configures Events 3–5 (bt) - defines PD Class 0–8 and requested power level. |
| RTN | Drain of integrated MOSFET | Connects to downstream DC-DC converter ground - carries full load current (up to 2.4A); voltage drop across RTN–VSS enables current sensing and foldback. |
| PG | Open-drain power-good output | Sinks 230µA during inrush and sleep modes - disables downstream DC-DC until MOSFET is fully enhanced and stable. |
| MEC | Multi-event classification indicator | Generates pulse-width-modulated patterns (256/512/768µs pulses, 1024µs period) - encodes allocated PSE power level (12.95W to 71W) for system-level monitoring. |
| WAD | Wall adapter detector input | Detects >9V between WAD and RTN - triggers automatic switchover from PoE to auxiliary power without firmware intervention. |
| LED / SL / WK / ULP | LED driver & sleep control inputs | SL falling edge initiates sleep; WK falling edge wakes; ULP enables Ultra-Low-Power mode; LED sources 250Hz, 25% duty pulses - enables low-power status indication and MPS maintenance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX5995BETE+T in a PoE system?
The MAX5995BETE+T serves as a complete IEEE 802.3af/at/bt-compliant powered device (PD) interface controller. It performs detection signature generation, multi-event classification (0–8), inrush current limiting, and controls an integrated 91W isolation MOSFET to safely deliver power from the PSE to downstream circuitry. Its IMPS feature enables autonomous maintain power signature activation based on port current detection - a core capability distinguishing MAX5995BETE+T from earlier variants like MAX5995AETE+T.
Does the MAX5995BETE+T support wall adapter switchover, and how does it work?
Yes, the MAX5995BETE+T supports seamless wall adapter switchover via its WAD pin. When a voltage >9V is detected between WAD and RTN, the device automatically disables the isolation MOSFET and transitions power sourcing from PoE to the auxiliary supply - without interrupting system operation or requiring host MCU intervention. This behavior is confirmed in the Functional Diagrams and Pin Description sections of the official datasheet, and applies identically to the MAX5995BETE+T variant.
What is the difference between MAX5995BETE+T and MAX5995AETE+T regarding MPS functionality?
The MAX5995BETE+T implements Intelligent Maintain Power Signature (IMPS), which automatically enables MPS current upon detection of port current - eliminating need for external timing components. In contrast, MAX5995AETE+T uses fixed-timing MPS with no current-sense activation logic. This difference is explicitly documented in the Benefits and Features section and Electrical Characteristics table (IMPS_RISE/FALL parameters), and directly impacts system-level power management autonomy in the MAX5995BETE+T.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the MAX5995BETE+T?
The MAX5995BETE+T uses a 16-pin, 5mm × 5mm TQFN-EP package (outline 21-0140, land pattern 90-0121) with exposed pad connected to VSS. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 35°C/W on a four-layer board, and θJC = 2.7°C/W - values confirmed in the Package Information section. These characteristics enable reliable operation at full 91W load within the –40°C to +85°C ambient range specified for the BETE grade.
How does the MAX5995BETE+T indicate allocated PSE power level to the system?
The MAX5995BETE+T uses the MEC (Multi-Event Classification) pin to communicate allocated PSE power via pulse-width-modulated patterns. A START bit (256µs, 25% duty) is followed by three variable-width pulses (512µs or 768µs) encoding 1–5 classification events - corresponding to power levels from 12.95W to 71W as defined in Table 2 of the datasheet. This real-time feedback is active only during power mode and disabled in sleep/ULP modes, and applies specifically to the MAX5995BETE+T variant.
