Product details
Overview
TPS23753APW from Texas Instruments is an IEEE 802.3at Type 1 powered device (PD) interface and current-mode DC-DC controller optimized for isolated flyback/forward converters. It integrates a 100-V, 0.7-Ω hotswap MOSFET, supports 13-W PoE power delivery, operates from –40°C to 125°C, and features programmable 223–273 kHz switching frequency with synchronization capability. It enables VoIP phones and security cameras requiring robust ESD immunity and adapter ORing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS23753APW datasheet, TPS23753APW pinout, TPS23753APW application, or TPS23753APW equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world implementation constraints, thermal shutdown behavior, classification resistor mapping, and validated alternative options for PoE PD design.
Technical Context
The TPS23753APW implements dual-function circuitry: a full IEEE 802.3at-compliant PoE interface (detection, classification, inrush control, hotswap MOSFET) and a bootstrap-starting current-mode DC-DC controller with internal slope compensation. Its PoE section supports 13-W Type 1 operation with programmable classification (Class 0–3) via single-resistor CLS configuration and detection signature via 24.9-kΩ DEN-to-VDD pullup.
The controller uses VC as primary bias rail (8.65–18 V), VB as regulated 5-V output (4.75–5.25 V) for optocoupler biasing, and GATE as high-current MOSFET driver (0.3–0.6 A source / 0.5–1.1 A sink). Blanking delay (35–75 ns) is programmable via BLNK-to-RTN resistor, and switching frequency (223–273 kHz) is set by FRS-to-RTN resistance per fSW = 15,000/RFRS.

Pinout & Package
TPS23753APW is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size) with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin functions are validated per TI SLVS933D Rev D (Dec 2020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CTL | Voltage control loop input | Direct PWM duty cycle control; 0–1.7 V disables switching; >1.5 V increases peak current |
| VB | 5-V bias rail output | Regulated 5 V (±2.5%) for optocoupler bias; requires 0.1-μF ceramic cap to RTN |
| CS | Current-sense input | Monitors high-side RCS voltage; 0.55 V threshold triggers current-limit shutdown |
| VC | DC-DC controller bias supply | Primary bias rail (8.65–18 V); powers gate driver and internal regulators; needs ≥0.22-μF local cap |
| GATE | MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external switch with 0.6 A source / 1.1 A sink; critical for isolated converter primary-side timing |
| RTN | DC-DC return & PoE hotswap drain | Common reference for converter primary and PoE output; must be local low-impedance plane |
| VSS | PoE input return | Clamped to RTN via hotswap MOSFET; connects to Ethernet transformer center tap |
| VDD | PoE interface power rail | Derived from PoE input; requires 0.1-μF X7R cap + Zener clamp to VSS per IEEE spec |
| DEN | Detection signature enable | 24.9-kΩ pullup to VDD creates IEEE-compliant 64.3 μA detection current |
| CLS | Classification current output | Sinks programmable current (1.8–42 mA) to VSS to signal PoE PSE class level |
| APD | Adapter preference disable | Pull >1.5 V to disable internal hotswap and force external adapter power path |
| BLNK | Current-sense blanking control | Resistor-to-RTN sets blanking delay (35–75 ns) to ignore turn-on current spikes |
| FRS | Frequency setting/sync input | Resistor-to-RTN sets fSW; AC-coupled pulses enable external sync above free-run frequency |
| VDD1 | Converter start-up current source | Connects to VDD for standard startup; isolatable via diode for PoE-priority sequencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated hotswap MOSFET | 100-V rating, 0.7-Ω RDS(on), 405-mA continuous current - eliminates external pass transistor and reduces BOM count |
| Bootstrap start-up mechanism | Internal switched current source charges VC from VDD1 - avoids constant-power loss of pullup resistors and improves light-load efficiency |
| Programmable blanking period | 35–75 ns via BLNK resistor - suppresses false overcurrent trips during MOSFET turn-on transients in isolated converters |
| Adapter ORing support | APD pin disables hotswap when >1.5 V applied - enables seamless switchover between PoE and 12-V adapter with voltage qualification |
| Enhanced ESD ride-through | ±15 kV air-gap IEC 61000-4-2 - maintains operation during system-level ESD events without latch-up or reset |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current supported by the TPS23753APW hotswap MOSFET?
The TPS23753APW integrates a robust 100-V hotswap MOSFET with 0.7-Ω typical RDS(on), rated for 405 mA continuous current through RTN at TJ ≤ 125°C. This supports full 13-W IEEE 802.3at Type 1 operation with margin for thermal rise. Derating applies above 125°C junction temperature per the device's thermal shutdown threshold at 145°C.
How does the TPS23753APW implement IEEE 802.3at classification?
The TPS23753APW implements IEEE 802.3at classification via its CLS pin, which sinks a precise current (1.8–42 mA) to VSS based on an external resistor. For example, a 1270-Ω resistor sets Class 0 (0.44–3.84 W), while 63.4-Ω configures Class 3 (12.95 W). The classification regulator activates between 11.7–22 V on VDD and includes hysteresis to prevent oscillation during PoE negotiation.
Can the TPS23753APW operate with both PoE and an external 12-V adapter?
Yes, the TPS23753APW supports adapter ORing via its APD pin. Applying >1.5 V to APD disables the internal hotswap MOSFET, forcing power from an external adapter connected between VDD1 and RTN. A resistor divider on APD provides voltage qualification, ensuring the adapter meets minimum voltage before cutting PoE - preventing brownout during switchover.
What is the purpose of the BLNK pin on the TPS23753APW?
The BLNK pin on the TPS23753APW controls current-sense blanking delay to suppress false overcurrent trips during MOSFET turn-on transients. Connecting BLNK to RTN sets a fixed 35–75 ns delay; adding a resistor to RTN allows programmable adjustment. This is critical in isolated converters where primary-side current spikes would otherwise trigger premature shutdown.
Does the TPS23753APW require an external DC-DC controller IC?
No, the TPS23753APW integrates a complete current-mode DC-DC controller with GATE output, VC bias regulation, VB 5-V rail, and internal slope compensation - eliminating need for external controllers in isolated flyback or forward designs. It drives external MOSFETs directly and supports bootstrap start-up from VDD1, reducing system component count and board area.
