Product details
Overview
MP8003AGQ-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is an IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant powered device (PD) interface controller for Power over Ethernet systems. It integrates a 100V, 0.48Ω hot-swap MOSFET, supports 2-event classification up to Class 4, delivers 120mA inrush and 840mA operational current limiting, and provides auxiliary adapter detection with seamless power switchover-used in PoE-powered security cameras and VoIP phones.
For engineers reviewing the MP8003AGQ-Z datasheet, MP8003AGQ-Z pinout, MP8003AGQ-Z application, or MP8003AGQ-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include PoE classification compliance level, integrated pass-FET RDS(on), inrush vs. operating current limits, T2P signaling capability, and AUX-based wall-adapter handover behavior.
Technical Context
The MP8003AGQ-Z implements full IEEE 802.3af/at PD interface logic including detection (2.7–10.1V signature range), 1-event or 2-event classification (14.5–20.5V), and mark-event sequencing for Type-2 PSE identification. Its control architecture manages inrush-to-operational transition via RTN voltage sensing and a fixed 100ms delay timer.
It features dual-input power management: VDD–VSS from PoE (up to 57V) and AUX-referenced wall adapter detection with –2.3V threshold relative to VDD. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and UVLO operates with 37.5V turn-on and 31V turn-off thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Voltage Range | 2.7V to 10.1V - defines valid signature window for PSE recognition before power application |
| Classification Current | 38.2–42.6mA at Class 4 - sets maximum input power allocation (25.5W) to PSE |
| Hot-Swap MOSFET RDS(on) | 0.48Ω - enables low-loss power delivery while supporting 100V DC withstand rating |
| Inrush / Operation Current Limit | 120mA / 840mA - controls capacitor charging surge and steady-state load current separately |
| AUX Detection Threshold | VDD − AUX = −2.3V - triggers automatic switch from PoE to auxiliary adapter supply |
| T2P Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - signals Type-2 PSE presence or AUX activation without external pull-up |
| PG Assertion Logic | Pulled high by internal 7µA current source - directly enables downstream DC/DC converter after RTN ≥1.2V |
Pinout & Package
MP8003AGQ-Z is housed in a thermally enhanced QFN-10 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad connected to VSS. The package supports high-voltage isolation between PoE input rails and logic-side terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VSS | Negative PoE input rail reference | Primary ground return for detection, classification, and hot-swap circuitry |
| 2 FTY | Factory test only | Must be tied to VSS in application; no user functionality |
| 3 CLASS | Classification current sink | Connects to VSS via resistor to set PD power class (e.g., 28.7Ω = Class 4) |
| 4 T2P | Type-2 PSE indicator output | Open-drain signal pulled low when Type-2 PSE or AUX is active |
| 5 AUX | Auxiliary adapter detector input | Senses voltage difference from VDD to enable wall-adapter priority mode |
| 6 DET | Detection signature input | Accepts 24.9kΩ resistor to VDD to present IEEE-compliant detection signature |
| 7 VDD | PoE positive input rail | Receives rectified 44–57V PoE power; feeds internal bias and gate driver |
| 8 PG | Power-good status indicator | Internal current-source output signaling stable RTN voltage or AUX presence |
| 9 NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; may be tied to VSS or thermal pad for layout stability |
| 10 RTN | Hot-swap MOSFET drain output | Delivers controlled PoE power to downstream DC/DC converter input |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEEE 802.3af/at Compliance | Fully implements detection, classification, mark-event, and 2-event Class 4 handshake per standard |
| Integrated 100V Hot-Swap Switch | 0.48Ω RDS(on) MOSFET eliminates need for external high-voltage pass device |
| Adaptive Inrush Control | 120mA limit during CIN charging, auto-switches to 840mA once RTN ≥1.2V |
| Seamless Dual-Source Power Management | AUX detection enables automatic switchover from PoE to wall adapter without brownout |
| Self-Contained PG and T2P Signaling | Internal current-source PG and open-drain T2P eliminate external pull-up components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PoE powered device interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT4275AIMSE#PBF | Higher 105V absolute max input; requires external pass FET; supports 4-event classification | Better suited for industrial PoE systems requiring extended voltage margin and programmable classification sequences | Select when >100V transient immunity or custom classification timing is required |
| TPS23753APWR | Integrated DC/DC controller; lower 60V max input; fixed 1-event classification only | Targets cost-sensitive, lower-power (≤13W) PoE devices without Type-2 or 2-event needs | Select when integrated flyback control and simpler classification suffice |

FAQ
What is the maximum PoE input voltage the MP8003AGQ-Z can safely handle?
The MP8003AGQ-Z supports a continuous PoE input voltage range of 0V to 57V on VDD–VSS, with absolute maximum rating of +100V. Its integrated 100V hot-swap MOSFET and internal clamping circuits ensure safe operation under IEEE 802.3at transient conditions and common-mode surges typical in enterprise cabling environments.
How does the MP8003AGQ-Z distinguish between Type-1 and Type-2 PSEs?
The MP8003AGQ-Z uses 2-event classification: the PSE applies two classification cycles separated by a mark event (6.9–10.1V). During the first cycle, the IC presents Class 4 current; during the second, it repeats the same. Only Type-2 PSEs perform this sequence, causing the T2P pin to assert low-providing hardware-level identification without software polling.
Can the MP8003AGQ-Z operate with both PoE and a wall adapter simultaneously?
No-MP8003AGQ-Z implements OR-ing logic, not parallel operation. When AUX detects VDD − VAUX ≤ −2.3V, it disables the internal hot-swap MOSFET and CLASS circuitry, routing power solely through the adapter path. The T2P and PG outputs remain active to signal the change, ensuring downstream converters stay enabled.
What is the purpose of the FTY pin, and how should it be connected?
The FTY pin is reserved for factory testing and has no functional role in end-user applications. Per the datasheet, FTY must be externally connected to VSS in all designs to ensure proper internal biasing and avoid undefined behavior during startup or fault conditions.
Does the MP8003AGQ-Z require external components for IEEE 802.3af/at compliance?
Yes-external components are required for full compliance: a 24.9kΩ resistor between DET and VDD for detection signature, a classification resistor (e.g., 28.7Ω for Class 4) between CLASS and VSS, and a TVS diode (e.g., SMAJ58A) across VDD–VSS for transient suppression. These are specified in the datasheet's Application Information section.
How does the PG signal behave during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown (junction temperature >150°C), the MP8003AGQ-Z disables the hot-swap MOSFET and pulls PG low via its internal 1MΩ pull-down resistor. PG remains low until junction temperature falls below 130°C, at which point the IC resumes inrush charging and reasserts PG high after RTN reaches 1.2V and the 100ms delay expires.
Is the NC pin electrically isolated or internally bonded?
The NC pin is not connected to any internal circuitry-it is truly no-connect. However, the datasheet recommends connecting it to VSS or the exposed thermal pad during PCB layout to improve mechanical stability and thermal conduction, not for electrical functionality.
