Product details
Overview
TPS2383APMR from Texas Instruments is a Power Sourcing Equipment Power Manager (PSEPM) IC compliant with IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, designed for mid-span injectors and Ethernet switches. It supports eight independent PoE ports, delivers up to 425 mA per port with controlled di/dt ramp, integrates 12-bit A/D acquisition for port current/voltage, and features dual-color LED drivers and hardware FAULT interrupt.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2383APMR datasheet, TPS2383APMR pinout, TPS2383APMR application, or TPS2383APMR equivalent, this device serves as a fully programmable, I²C-controlled PSE manager requiring precise discovery/classification timing, external N-channel MOSFET gate control, and isolated serial interface support via opto-coupler-compatible SDA/SCL lines.
Technical Context
The TPS2383APMR implements a master sequencer architecture that cycles through eight ports using shared analog resources - including one 12-bit A/D converter, one ramp control circuit (CR/CT/CINT), and one discovery/classification voltage control loop. Each port has dedicated gate drive (1G–8G), sense (1RS–8RS), and power path terminals (1P/1N–8P/8N), enabling independent fault detection (UV/OV/OC/undercurrent) and state management.
It uses external N-channel MOSFETs for low-RDS(on) switching, generates HV gate drive (up to 10 V) from the 48-V bus, and supports opto-isolated I²C via separate SDA_I/SDA_O pins. The device operates with three supply rails: 48 V (V48), 5 V (V5), and 3.3 V (VL), with internal POR sequencing ensuring safe register initialization before power delivery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PoE PSE management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2384APMR | Higher integration: includes internal 48-V DC-DC controller and integrated MOSFET drivers; no external HV gate drive needed. | Reduces BOM count and layout area but increases quiescent current; not pin-compatible with TPS2383APMR. | Select TPS2384APMR when system-level size/cost optimization outweighs need for discrete MOSFET selection flexibility. |
| MAX5980GTJ+ | 4-port PSE PM with integrated hot-swap controller; supports IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) up to 30 W/port; different I²C register map and timing. | Targeted at higher-power, lower-port-count applications; lacks 8-port scalability and dual-color LED drivers. | Choose MAX5980GTJ+ only for PoE+ compliance requirements and designs where 4 ports suffice with tighter space constraints. |
Compared with TPS2383APMR, TPS2384APMR eliminates external MOSFET gate drive complexity but sacrifices discrete FET selection for efficiency tuning, while MAX5980GTJ+ adds PoE+ capability at the cost of port count and feature parity in LED/status signaling.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the TPS2383APMR?
The TPS2383APMR is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its LQFP-64 package has a thermal resistance of 65°C/W (junction-to-ambient), and derating begins above 25°C at 15.4 mW/°C. The device includes internal thermal protection and operates reliably within this range when mounted on a PCB with appropriate copper pour and decoupling.
Does the TPS2383APMR support IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)?
No, the TPS2383APMR is compliant only with IEEE 802.3af (Type 1, up to 15.4 W per port). It does not support the higher power levels, extended classification, or two-event classification required by 802.3at. For PoE+ compatibility, TI recommends the TPS23861 or TPS2372-4, which include enhanced current limits and dual-event classification logic not present in the TPS2383APMR.
How many TPS2383APMR devices can share one I²C bus?
Up to 32 TPS2383APMR devices can share a single I²C bus using the five address-select pins (A1–A5), providing 32 unique 5-bit slave addresses. Each device can manage 8 PoE ports, enabling centralized control of up to 256 ports from one I²C master controller - a key scalability feature confirmed in the SLUS565F datasheet functional description.
What external components are mandatory for basic TPS2383APMR operation?
Mandatory external components for TPS2383APMR include: (1) 0.5 Ω current-sense resistors (1RS–8RS), (2) 665 Ω discovery resistor (RD), (3) 120 kΩ bias resistor (RT), (4) 0.1 µF CR capacitor for ramp control, (5) 0.033 µF CINT capacitor for A/D integration, and (6) decoupling capacitors on V48, V5, VL, and AG1/AG2. These are explicitly required in the SLUS565F datasheet terminal functions and electrical characteristics sections.
Can the TPS2383APMR operate without a 48-V supply present?
Yes - the TPS2383APMR supports "digital-only" operation with only VL (3.3 V) and V5 (5 V) supplies active, while V48 is absent. In this mode, the I²C interface remains fully functional for register configuration and status polling, enabling pre-power diagnostics and system initialization before 48-V application. This behavior is documented in the SLUS565F datasheet description section and verified in the recommended operating conditions table.
