Product details
Overview
TPS2375D from Texas Instruments is an IEEE 802.3af-compliant Powered Device (PD) controller IC for PoE applications, integrating a 0.58-Ω, 100-V low-side MOSFET switch, fixed 450-mA operational current limit, 30.5 V/39.3 V UVLO thresholds, and open-drain power-good (PG) reporting. It enables safe, standards-compliant power extraction in VoIP phones, WLAN access points, and security cameras.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2375D datasheet, TPS2375D pinout, TPS2375D application, or TPS2375D equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application constraints, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SLVS525B specification and functional block diagram.
Technical Context
The TPS2375D implements detection, classification, and undervoltage lockout using dedicated comparators with hysteresis: detection activates at 1.4–11.3 V (via DET pin), classification operates between 13–21 V (via CLASS resistor), and UVLO triggers at 30.5 V (falling) / 39.3 V (rising). Its internal 0.58-Ω MOSFET switches RTN to ground under control of the inrush and current-limit circuits.
It supports programmable inrush current limiting via ILIM (178 kΩ sets 100–180 mA), fixed 450-mA steady-state current limit, and true open-drain PG output referenced to RTN - not VSS - enabling robust power-good signaling even during cable voltage drop. Thermal shutdown activates at 135°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UVLO Thresholds | 30.5 V (falling), 39.3 V (rising); ensures IEEE 802.3af-compliant turn-on/turn-off with 8.8 V hysteresis to prevent oscillation during cable voltage sag |
| Pass Device RDS(on) | 0.58 Ω (typical at 300 mA); enables low-loss power delivery to downstream DC/DC converter with <175 mW conduction loss at 350 mA |
| Operational Current Limit | 450 mA (typical); hard-limits RTN current to protect against overloads while meeting PSE 350–400 mA compliance window |
| Inrush Current Range | 100–180 mA (with RILIM = 178 kΩ); prevents input voltage collapse during bulk capacitor charging without requiring external timing components |
| Power-Good Output | Open-drain PG referenced to RTN; asserts high-impedance state only when RTN is enabled and inrush completed - critical for sequenced DC/DC enable |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and outdoor networking equipment environments without derating |
| ESD Rating | 15-kV system-level (contact/air) per EN61000-4-2; protects RJ-45 interface against field-induced surges without external TVS |
Pinout & Package
TPS2375D is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SLVS525B Figure 1 and Terminal Functions table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS (Pin 4) | Input supply return | Local ground reference for internal bias circuits; must be connected directly to PSE-side return path before diode bridge |
| CLASS (Pin 2) | Classification current source | Sinks precise current (e.g., 39.4 mA with 255 Ω) during 13–21 V window to signal IEEE Class 4 power level to PSE |
| DET (Pin 3) | Detection current sink | Pulls RDET (24.9 kΩ) to VSS below 11.3 V to generate 25 kΩ incremental resistance signature for PSE detection |
| RTN (Pin 5) | Switched load return | Low-side output node switched by internal MOSFET; carries full load current and serves as PG reference and current-sense return |
| PG (Pin 6) | Open-drain power-good | High-impedance when RTN enabled and inrush complete; pulled to RTN otherwise - requires external pullup for logic-level signaling |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Positive input supply | Connects to rectified PSE output; powers internal circuitry and provides voltage monitoring for UVLO and classification comparators |
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Inrush current programming | Accepts resistor to VSS (178 kΩ typical) to set inrush limit; open or shorted condition disables inrush control and risks UVLO dropout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEEE 802.3af Compliance | Fully implements detection (25 kΩ signature), classification (5-class support), and maintain-power-signature (MPS) timing - no firmware or external logic required |
| Integrated Low-Side Switch | 0.58-Ω, 100-V MOSFET eliminates need for discrete pass device and associated gate-drive circuitry, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| True Open-Drain PG | PG referenced to RTN (not VSS) ensures accurate assertion only when load return is actively enabled - prevents false "power good" during fault conditions |
| Programmable Inrush Control | RILIM-based adjustment (62.5–500 kΩ) allows optimization for legacy PSEs or large bulk capacitors without changing PCB layout |
| 15-kV System-Level ESD | Withstands direct contact discharge at RJ-45 port per EN61000-4-2, eliminating need for external ESD protection on data lines or power pins |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Powered Device controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2376D | Programmable UVLO via external resistor divider on UVLO pin; identical pinout and inrush/current-limit architecture | Required where PSE output voltage varies below 44 V (e.g., legacy midspans); lacks fixed 30.5/39.3 V thresholds | Select TPS2376D only if adjustable UVLO is needed; TPS2375D is preferred for IEEE-compliant PSEs due to optimized hysteresis and stability |
| TPS2377D | Legacy UVLO thresholds (30.5 V/35.1 V); same SOIC-8 package and functional block diagram but reduced hysteresis | Suitable for older PoE infrastructure with marginal voltage headroom; higher risk of oscillation during slow-rising input | Choose TPS2377D only for field-replacement in legacy systems; TPS2375D provides superior noise immunity and startup reliability |
Compared with TPS2376D and TPS2377D, the TPS2375D offers the highest UVLO hysteresis (8.8 V) and strictest alignment with IEEE 802.3af turn-on/turn-off windows - making it the optimal choice for new designs targeting certified PSE interoperability and robust thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPS2375D in a PoE system?
The TPS2375D serves as the Powered Device (PD) controller IC that manages the entire IEEE 802.3af power negotiation sequence: detection (25 kΩ signature), classification (Class 0–4 current signaling), and regulated power delivery. It integrates a 0.58-Ω, 100-V low-side MOSFET switch, fixed 450-mA current limit, and open-drain PG output - all in an 8-pin SOIC package. The TPS2375D enables fully standards-compliant PoE operation without external microcontrollers or discrete power switches.
Does the TPS2375D support programmable UVLO thresholds?
No, the TPS2375D features fixed UVLO thresholds of 30.5 V (falling) and 39.3 V (rising), optimized for full IEEE 802.3af compliance and maximum hysteresis. Programmable UVLO is exclusive to the TPS2376D variant, which adds a dedicated UVLO pin for external resistor-divider configuration. The TPS2375D's fixed thresholds ensure predictable startup behavior with certified PSEs and eliminate tuning complexity in new designs.
How does the TPS2375D implement inrush current limiting?
The TPS2375D uses the ILIM pin (Pin 1) to set inrush current via an external resistor to VSS. With RILIM = 178 kΩ, it limits inrush to 100–180 mA, preventing input voltage sag during bulk capacitor charging. This is distinct from its fixed 450-mA operational current limit on RTN. The TPS2375D terminates inrush when RTN current falls below 85% of the programmed value - a hardware-based, deterministic transition that requires no software or external timers.
What is the significance of the PG pin being referenced to RTN instead of VSS?
The PG pin's RTN reference ensures that power-good assertion occurs only when the low-side switch is actively enabled and delivering current to the load - not merely when VDD is present. This prevents false "power good" signals during detection or classification states, or if the MOSFET fails open. For the TPS2375D, PG goes high-impedance only after RTN is stabilized and inrush completes, providing reliable sequencing control for downstream DC/DC converters and system processors.
Can the TPS2375D be used with legacy PoE equipment that doesn't meet IEEE 802.3af specifications?
The TPS2375D is optimized for IEEE 802.3af-compliant PSEs and may exhibit unstable startup with legacy equipment delivering <44 V output or slow-rising voltage profiles. For such cases, TI recommends the TPS2377D (legacy UVLO) or TPS2376D (programmable UVLO). The TPS2375D's 30.5/39.3 V thresholds and 8.8 V hysteresis prioritize robustness with certified infrastructure - confirming its suitability for new deployments where PSE compliance is assured.
