Product details
Overview
TPS2375DR from Texas Instruments is an IEEE 802.3af-compliant Powered Device (PD) controller IC for Power over Ethernet applications. It integrates a 0.58-Ω, 100-V low-side MOSFET switch, fixed 450-mA operational current limit, programmable inrush current control via ILIM pin, open-drain power-good (PG) output, and 15-kV system-level ESD protection. It operates across –40°C to 85°C and supports VoIP phones, WLAN access points, and security cameras.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2375DR datasheet, TPS2375DR pinout, TPS2375DR application, or TPS2375DR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world PoE startup behavior, confirmed alternative controllers with documented functional differences, and supply-chain support for industrial PoE designs requiring stable component sourcing.
Technical Context
The TPS2375DR implements full IEEE 802.3af detection (2.7–10.1 V), classification (13–21 V), and powered operation (≥30.5 V UVLO falling threshold) with hysteresis. Its internal comparators monitor VDD against fixed UVLO thresholds (30.5 V turn-off / 39.3 V turn-on), while the DET pin sinks current through R(DET) = 24.9 kΩ during detection and disconnects above 11.3 V to conserve power.
Classification is set by external R(CLASS) (e.g., 255 Ω for Class 4), drawing 39.4 mA typical at 15 V; inrush current is programmed via R(ILIM) (e.g., 178 kΩ yields 130 mA typical); RTN serves as switched return rail with 515 mA absolute max sinking capability and monitors PG assertion when V(RTN) exceeds 9.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UVLO Turn-off Threshold | 30.5 V (ensures reliable shutdown before PSE drops below IEEE 802.3af minimum) |
| UVLO Turn-on Threshold | 39.3 V (guarantees robust startup after PSE voltage rise, with 8.8 V hysteresis) |
| Pass Device rDS(on) | 0.58 Ω (minimizes conduction loss in 100-V PoE input path; rated for 515 mA continuous) |
| Fixed Current Limit | 450 mA (hard-clamped operational limit protects downstream DC/DC converter and cable) |
| Inrush Current Control | Programmable via R(ILIM) (178 kΩ sets ~130 mA typical; prevents VDD sag during bulk cap charging) |
| Power-Good Output | Open-drain PG (asserts high-Z when RTN ≥ 9.5 V and not in inrush; requires external pullup) |
| ESD Rating | 15 kV system-level (contact/air per EN61000-4-2 at RJ-45 interface) |
Pinout & Package
TPS2375DR is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8, D package) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 4 (VSS) is the local ground reference; Pin 5 (RTN) is the switched negative return rail; Pin 6 (PG) is open-drain power-good; Pin 8 (VDD) is the positive PoE input rail.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ILIM | Inrush current programming input | Connects to VSS via resistor (e.g., 178 kΩ) to set start-up inrush limit; must not be left open or shorted |
| 2 CLASS | Classification current output | Sinks current through external R(CLASS) (e.g., 255 Ω) to signal Class 4 power level to PSE |
| 3 DET | Detection signature output | Sinks current through R(DET) = 24.9 kΩ during 2.7–10.1 V detection window; disconnects above 11.3 V |
| 4 VSS | Input supply return | Local ground reference for internal circuitry; connects to source side of input diode bridge |
| 5 RTN | Switched load return rail | Provides low-side return path for downstream DC/DC converter; monitored for PG assertion |
| 6 PG | Open-drain power-good output | High-impedance when RTN ≥ 9.5 V and no inrush; pulled to RTN internally otherwise |
| 7 NC | No connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 8 VDD | PoE input positive rail | Accepts rectified 48 V PoE input; supplies internal bias and enables UVLO monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEEE 802.3af Compliance | Fully implements detection, classification, and powered operation with built-in hysteresis and timing margins |
| Integrated Low-Side Switch | 0.58-Ω, 100-V MOSFET eliminates need for external pass device and reduces BOM count |
| Programmable Inrush Limiting | R(ILIM)-based control allows precise tailoring of startup surge to match bulk capacitance and legacy PSE requirements |
| True Open-Drain PG | PG asserts high-Z only when RTN voltage meets threshold and inrush state ends-enables clean downstream enable sequencing |
| 15-kV System-Level ESD | Validated per EN61000-4-2 at RJ-45 interface-reduces need for external TVS on data lines |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Powered Device controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2376DR | Features adjustable UVLO via dedicated UVLO pin (resistor divider); identical pinout and core functionality | Required where PSE output voltage varies significantly (e.g., legacy midspans <44 V); adds one external resistor pair | Select TPS2376DR only if UVLO threshold tuning is needed; otherwise TPS2375DR offers simpler, fixed-threshold design |
| TPS2377DR | Uses legacy UVLO thresholds (30.5 V off / 35.1 V on, 4.5 V hysteresis); same SO-8 package and pin compatibility | Suitable for older PoE infrastructure with slower-rising or lower-voltage PSE outputs; may exhibit marginal startup stability with compliant PSEs | Choose TPS2377DR only for field-replacement in legacy systems; TPS2375DR is preferred for new IEEE 802.3af-compliant designs |
Compared with TPS2376DR and TPS2377DR, the TPS2375DR delivers optimal hysteresis (8.8 V) and deterministic startup for modern 802.3af PSEs-eliminating UVLO tuning complexity while ensuring robust operation across full industrial temperature range and 100-V input transients.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPS2375DR in a PoE system?
The TPS2375DR acts as the Powered Device (PD) controller, managing the full IEEE 802.3af handshake: detection (identifying valid PSE), classification (advertising power class), and powered operation (enabling downstream load). It integrates a 100-V low-side switch, fixed 450-mA current limit, programmable inrush control, and open-drain power-good output-all in an 8-pin SOIC package. The TPS2375DR ensures safe, standards-compliant power delivery to devices like VoIP phones and security cameras.
How does the TPS2375DR implement inrush current limiting?
The TPS2375DR uses its ILIM pin to accept an external resistor (R(ILIM)) connected to VSS. With R(ILIM) = 178 kΩ, the TPS2375DR limits inrush current to ~130 mA typical, preventing VDD sag during bulk capacitor charging. This programmability allows designers to match startup behavior to specific PSE capabilities and downstream capacitance-critical for avoiding false UVLO shutdown. The TPS2375DR requires R(ILIM) between 62.5 kΩ and 500 kΩ and must not leave ILIM floating or shorted.
What is the role of the PG pin on the TPS2375DR?
The PG (Power-Good) pin on the TPS2375DR is an open-drain output that goes high-impedance only when two conditions are met: RTN voltage exceeds 9.5 V and the device is not in inrush current limiting. It remains pulled to RTN otherwise. This precise timing enables downstream circuits (e.g., DC/DC enable inputs or microcontroller reset lines) to power up only after stable PoE operation begins. The TPS2375DR requires an external pullup resistor on PG to generate a logic-high signal for system enable sequencing.
Does the TPS2375DR support all IEEE 802.3af power classes?
Yes-the TPS2375DR supports all five IEEE 802.3af classes (0–4) via external R(CLASS) selection: 4420 Ω (Class 0), 953 Ω (Class 1), 549 Ω (Class 2), 357 Ω (Class 3), or 255 Ω (Class 4). Each value draws a defined classification current (e.g., 39.4 mA for Class 4 at 15 V), allowing the PSE to allocate appropriate power. The TPS2375DR automatically disconnects R(CLASS) outside the 13–21 V classification window to prevent overheating, ensuring reliable operation across all classes.
What thermal protection features does the TPS2375DR include?
The TPS2375DR incorporates internal thermal shutdown that activates at 135°C junction temperature, with 20°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation. This protection safeguards the device during overload, poor heatsinking, or ambient temperature extremes. Unlike many controllers, the TPS2375DR maintains full functionality-including detection, classification, and PG signaling-below this threshold. Its SO-8 package supports θJA = 238°C/W (low-K board), enabling reliable operation in industrial environments where ambient temperatures reach 85°C.
