Product details
Overview
TPS23752PWPR from Texas Instruments is a 20-pin IEEE 802.3at Type 2 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD) interface IC with integrated flyback DC-DC controller and ultra-low-power Sleep Mode. It delivers up to 25.5 W, features a 100 V / 0.5 Ω hot-swap MOSFET, supports programmable switching frequency (226–276 kHz PWM), and maintains IEEE 802.3at Maintain Power Signature (MPS) in Sleep Mode for security cameras and VoIP phones.
For engineers reviewing the TPS23752PWPR datasheet, TPS23752PWPR pinout, TPS23752PWPR application, or TPS23752PWPR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context on PoE classification, VFO-mode light-load efficiency, Sleep Mode current consumption (10.6 mA pulsed MPS), thermal shutdown (145 °C), and synchronous rectifier disable (SRD) timing - all critical for industrial PoE PD design validation.
Technical Context
The TPS23752PWPR implements full IEEE 802.3at Type 2 hardware classification with dual-class detection (CLS pin resistor-programmable), auxiliary power detect (APD ≥1.5 V relative to ARTN), and robust 100 V pass FET with foldback current limiting. Its DC-DC controller uses current-mode control with slope compensation, blanking (100–200 ns), and variable frequency operation (VFO) below 1.9 V CTL to sustain efficiency at light loads.
Sleep Mode-exclusive to TPS23752-is activated by pulling SLPb low and enables MPS generation while disabling the converter core. It delivers 2.5 V wake-up output (WAKE), supports pulsed or DC MPS (28.9% duty cycle, 87.5 ms ON time), and draws only 1 mA typical supply current when APD is enabled-enabling always-on surveillance devices with <15 mW standby power.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS23752PWPR is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-pin TSSOP (PWP) package (6.50 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad connected to VSS. The package supports high-power dissipation via PCB copper fill under the pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | PoE input rail connection | Accepts 38–57 V PoE input; bypassed to VSS with 0.1 µF capacitor for noise filtering. |
| DEN | Detection/Enable control | Pull to VSS to disable pass MOSFET; 24.9 kΩ pull-up to VDD enables detection sequence. |
| CLS | Classification current source | Drives external resistor to VSS to set IEEE class (e.g., 137 Ω → Class 4, 18.6 mA). |
| APD | Auxiliary power detect input | Rising >1.5 V above ARTN disables MOSFET and forces T2P active; disables MPS in Sleep Mode. |
| RT | Oscillator timing resistor | Resistor to ARTN sets PWM frequency (e.g., 34 kΩ → 251 kHz nominal). |
| T2P | Type 2 PSE indicator output | Active-low open-drain signal confirms Type 2 PSE handshake completion (delay ≤7 ms). |
| SRD | Synchronous rectifier disable | Asserts low during VFO mode to disable external SR gate drive and reduce light-load losses. |
| CTL | PWM/VFO transition control | Voltage threshold (2.00 V typ.) determines switch from PWM to variable-frequency operation. |
| SRT | VFO transition threshold adjust | Resistor divider sets CTL threshold (0.5–1.5 V range) to fine-tune light-load efficiency point. |
| VB | Bias supply output | Regulated 5.0 V ±2.5% output (5 mA max); powers internal logic and external circuitry. |
| CS | Current sense input | ARTN-referenced input for primary-side current sensing; 0.25 V threshold for overcurrent protection. |
| VC | GATE driver supply | 12.8 V (typ.) regulated supply for GATE driver; requires ≥0.47 µF bypass to ARTN. |
| GATE | External MOSFET driver | Capable of 0.6 A peak source / 1.0 A peak sink; rise/fall times <40 ns with 1 nF load. |
| ARTN | Analog return reference | Local ground for DC-DC controller analog circuitry; must be tied to RTN per datasheet. |
| RTN | Pass MOSFET drain terminal | Drain node of internal 100 V / 0.5 Ω FET; connects to transformer primary return. |
| VSS | Negative PoE rail | System ground reference; PowerPAD™ must be soldered directly to VSS plane. |
| SLPb | Sleep Mode enable input | Pull low to enter Sleep Mode; threshold 1.66 V (typ.); internal 5.7 µA pull-up. |
| WAKE | Wake-up output | 2.50 V (typ.) CMOS output during Sleep Mode; used to reset external logic or enable auxiliary rails. |
| MODE | MPS configuration input | Selects pulsed (MODE = 0 V) or DC (MODE = VB) MPS; threshold 1.66 V (typ.). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PoE PD interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS23751PWPR | 16-pin TSSOP; lacks Sleep Mode, WAKE, MODE, and SLPb pins; no MPS generation in low-power state. | Not suitable for always-on devices requiring sub-20 mW standby; supports same 25.5 W output but higher quiescent current (210–500 µA vs 10.6 mA pulsed). | Select TPS23751PWPR only for cost-sensitive, non-sleeping PDs where board space is constrained and MPS is not required during idle. |
| LT4275AIMSE#PBF | 16-pin MSOP; IEEE 802.3at-compliant but no integrated DC-DC controller; requires external flyback controller. | Increases BOM count and layout complexity; supports higher voltage (60 V max) but no VFO or SRD features for light-load optimization. | Choose LT4275AIMSE#PBF when using a discrete controller with specific topology requirements (e.g., active clamp flyback) or needing extended input voltage margin beyond 57 V. |
Compared with TPS23751PWPR, the TPS23752PWPR adds Sleep Mode functionality essential for energy-constrained edge devices, while LT4275AIMSE#PBF trades integration for flexibility - making TPS23752PWPR optimal for compact, self-contained PoE PDs demanding lowest possible standby power and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between TPS23752PWPR and TPS23751PWPR?
The TPS23752PWPR adds dedicated Sleep Mode functionality absent in TPS23751PWPR, including SLPb, WAKE, and MODE pins plus internal circuitry to generate IEEE 802.3at Maintain Power Signature (MPS) while disabling the DC-DC converter. This allows TPS23752PWPR to draw only 10.6 mA in pulsed MPS mode versus TPS23751PWPR's minimum ~210 µA operating current - a critical distinction for always-on surveillance or sensor nodes.
How does the TPS23752PWPR implement IEEE 802.3at Type 2 classification?
The TPS23752PWPR performs hardware-based Type 2 classification using its CLS pin: an external resistor (e.g., 137 Ω) between CLS and VSS sets classification current (18.6 mA for Class 4). It executes two sequential detection/classification events, then asserts T2P low to signal Type 2 PSE recognition. The device also monitors APD voltage to disable the pass FET if auxiliary power exceeds 1.5 V above ARTN - ensuring safe switchover.
What thermal design considerations apply to the TPS23752PWPR in a 20-pin TSSOP package?
The TPS23752PWPR uses a PowerPAD™ thermal pad that must be soldered to a large VSS copper pour to achieve its rated RθJA of 38.5 °C/W. Thermal shutdown activates at 145 °C (±10 °C hysteresis), and junction-to-board RθJB is 25.6 °C/W - meaning board-level copper area directly beneath the package is more impactful than airflow alone. For 25.5 W operation, TI recommends ≥4 cm² of 2-oz copper connected to the PowerPAD™.
Can the TPS23752PWPR support auxiliary power switchover without external logic?
Yes - the APD pin enables autonomous auxiliary power switchover. When voltage on APD rises >1.5 V above ARTN, the TPS23752PWPR immediately disables its internal pass MOSFET (via RTN), deactivates CLS, and asserts T2P low. This cleanly isolates the PoE path while allowing external circuitry (e.g., OR-ing diodes or ideal diodes) to supply power from a local adapter or battery - all without MCU intervention.
What is the purpose and behavior of the SRD pin on the TPS23752PWPR?
The SRD (Synchronous Rectifier Disable) pin is an open-drain output that goes low during Variable Frequency Operation (VFO) mode - triggered when CTL voltage drops below 2.00 V. This signal disables external synchronous rectifier gate drivers to prevent shoot-through and reduce gate drive losses at light loads. SRD remains high during full PWM operation, allowing normal SR control via the main controller.
