Product details
Overview
TPS23751PWPR from Texas Instruments is a 16-pin IEEE 802.3at Type-2 PoE powered device (PD) interface IC with integrated flyback DC-DC controller, featuring a 0.5 Ω/100 V hot-swap MOSFET, programmable 226–276 kHz switching frequency, and 25.5 W power delivery capability for VoIP phones and security cameras.
For engineers reviewing the TPS23751PWPR datasheet, TPS23751PWPR pinout, TPS23751PWPR application, or TPS23751PWPR equivalent, this device supports hardware-based IEEE 802.3at classification, auxiliary power detect (APD), synchronous rectifier disable (SRD), and thermal shutdown - all in a PowerPAD™ TSSOP-16 package with verified 39.5°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
Technical Context
The TPS23751PWPR implements full IEEE 802.3at Type-2 PD functionality including detection, classification, inrush current limiting, and maintain power signature (MPS) generation. Its PoE interface operates with 36.3–40 V UVLO rising threshold and supports 13–23 V classification voltage range via external RCLS resistor.
The integrated current-mode flyback controller features internal soft-start, slope-compensated PWM, variable-frequency operation (VFO) at light loads, and gate drive capable of 0.6 A source / 1.0 A sink. It disables synchronous rectification below 1.9–2.1 V on CTL to enhance efficiency under partial load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IEEE Standard | Compliant with IEEE 802.3at Type-2 PD specification for up to 25.5 W power delivery. |
| Input Voltage Range | 36.3 V to 57 V operating range; includes 36.3–40 V UVLO rising threshold for reliable PoE startup. |
| Pass MOSFET rDS(on) | 0.45 Ω typical (0.20–0.75 Ω max); enables ≤0.85 A continuous RTN current with minimal conduction loss. |
| Switching Frequency | 226–276 kHz (PWM mode, RT = 34 kΩ); adjustable via external resistor for EMI optimization and transformer selection. |
| Thermal Resistance | 39.5°C/W θJA (TSSOP-16 PowerPAD™); requires thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for safe 125°C operation. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 0.25 V typical (0.22–0.28 V max) on CS pin; sets precise overcurrent protection for isolated flyback primary side. |
| VFO Transition Threshold | 2.00 V typical CTL voltage (1.90–2.10 V) to enter variable-frequency operation; reduces switching losses at light loads. |
Pinout & Package
TPS23751PWPR is housed in a 16-pin PowerPAD™ TSSOP (PWP) package measuring 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm, with exposed thermal pad connected to VSS for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | PoE input supply rail | Accepts 36–57 V PoE input; bypassed to VSS with 0.1 µF capacitor for stable bias. |
| DEN | Detection/enable control | Pull to VSS to disable pass MOSFET; 24.9 kΩ to VDD enables detection sequence. |
| CLS | Classification current output | Sinks programmed classification current (e.g., 2.17 mA with 1270 Ω to VSS) for IEEE 802.3at Class 4 identification. |
| APD | Auxiliary power detect input | Raised >1.5 V above ARTN disables pass MOSFET and asserts T2P - used for adapter ORing. |
| RT | Oscillator timing resistor | Resistor to ARTN sets PWM frequency (e.g., 34 kΩ → 251 kHz typical); enables EMI tuning. |
| T2P | Type-2 PSE indicator | Active-low open-drain output signaling Type-2 PSE connection or APD activation. |
| SRD | Synchronous rectifier disable | Asserts low during VFO mode to disable external synchronous rectifiers and reduce light-load losses. |
| CTL | PWM/VFO control input | Analog input setting duty cycle (PWM) or triggering VFO transition at ~2.0 V; referenced to ARTN. |
| VB | Bias supply output | 5.0 V ±2.5% regulated output (0–5 mA); powers external circuitry and requires ≥0.08 µF bypass to ARTN. |
| CS | Current sense input | ARTN-referenced input for primary-side current sensing; 0.25 V threshold triggers current limit. |
| VC | GATE driver supply | 12 V internal supply for GATE driver; bypassed with ≥0.47 µF to ARTN for stable high-side drive. |
| GATE | External MOSFET driver | Push-pull output driving external flyback switch; 0.6 A source / 1.0 A sink capability. |
| ARTN | Analog return reference | Local analog ground for DC-DC controller; must be tied to RTN per datasheet requirement. |
| RTN | Pass MOSFET drain terminal | Drain node of internal 100 V/0.5 Ω hot-swap MOSFET; connects to ARTN and PoE return path. |
| VSS | Power ground | Negative PoE rail reference; all digital logic and thermal pad connect here. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PoE PD interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS23752PWPR | 20-pin TSSOP with Sleep Mode, SLPb/MODE/WAKE pins, and pulsed MPS generation; adds 10.6 mA sleep current. | Required for IEEE 802.3at-compliant devices needing ultra-low-power standby with active MPS maintenance. | Select TPS23752PWPR only if Sleep Mode functionality is mandatory; otherwise TPS23751PWPR offers identical PoE + DC-DC performance in smaller footprint. |
| LT4275AIMSE#PBF | Linear Technology/Analog Devices 16-pin IEEE 802.3at PD interface with integrated DC-DC controller; 0.35 Ω rDS(on), 200–750 kHz programmable frequency. | Supports wider input range (13–60 V) and higher peak current (1.2 A), but lacks VFO mode and SRD signal. | Choose LT4275AIMSE#PBF when higher inrush tolerance or broader input voltage range is needed; TPS23751PWPR excels in light-load efficiency and thermal performance. |
Compared with TPS23752PWPR, the TPS23751PWPR omits Sleep Mode circuitry for lower cost and smaller layout area; compared with LT4275AIMSE#PBF, it delivers superior light-load efficiency via VFO and synchronous rectifier disable - critical for battery-backed or always-on edge devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current supported by the TPS23751PWPR internal MOSFET?
The TPS23751PWPR internal MOSFET supports up to 0.85 A continuous current at TJ ≤ 125°C, with 0.45 Ω typical rDS(on) enabling efficient power delivery. This is validated under recommended operating conditions with proper PCB thermal design - including soldering the PowerPAD™ to a large VSS copper area - and aligns with IEEE 802.3at Class 4 power limits. Peak inrush current reaches 140 mA during startup.
Does the TPS23751PWPR support IEEE 802.3af (PoE) as well as 802.3at (PoE+)?
Yes, the TPS23751PWPR supports both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. Its detection and classification circuitry complies with 802.3af requirements, while its Type-2 hardware classification and 25.5 W capability fully satisfy 802.3at. The device automatically negotiates based on PSE capabilities and external RCLS configuration - no software or mode selection is required.
How does the TPS23751PWPR achieve high efficiency across wide load ranges?
The TPS23751PWPR achieves high efficiency across wide load ranges through three key mechanisms: (1) current-mode PWM control with slope compensation for stable regulation, (2) variable-frequency operation (VFO) that reduces switching losses at light loads, and (3) an SRD signal that disables external synchronous rectifiers during VFO mode. These features collectively maintain >80% efficiency from 10% to 100% load in typical flyback designs.
What is the purpose of the APD pin on the TPS23751PWPR, and how is it used in adapter ORing applications?
The APD (Auxiliary Power Detect) pin on the TPS23751PWPR enables adapter ORing by allowing seamless switchover between PoE and auxiliary DC input. When APD rises >1.5 V above ARTN, the device disables the internal pass MOSFET and asserts T2P - effectively disconnecting PoE and routing power from the auxiliary source. This function is implemented using a resistor divider (RAPD1/RAPD2) and is fully hardware-based, requiring no microcontroller intervention.
Can the TPS23751PWPR be used without the integrated DC-DC controller, solely as a PoE PD interface?
Yes, the TPS23751PWPR can be used exclusively as a PoE PD interface. Its PoE section - including detection, classification, inrush control, and MPS generation - operates independently of the DC-DC controller. To disable the controller, tie CTL to VB and leave GATE unconnected; the device will still complete IEEE 802.3at handshaking and maintain valid MPS while delivering power to an external regulator stage.
