Product details
Overview
TPS2383BPMG4 from Texas Instruments is an IEEE 802.3af-compliant octal Power Sourcing Equipment Manager (PSEPM) IC for PoE mid-span injectors and switches. It manages up to eight Ethernet ports with per-port discovery, classification, controlled di/dt power ramping, real-time 12-bit current/voltage acquisition, and hardware FAULT interrupt. It operates from a 44–57 V input and supports opto-coupled I²C isolation for system ground separation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS2383BPMG4 datasheet, TPS2383BPMG4 pinout, TPS2383BPMG4 application, or TPS2383BPMG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its LQFP-64 package, dual SDA lines for isolated I²C control, external N-channel MOSFET gate drive capability, 25-kΩ resistor discovery compliance, and integrated LED drivers for port status indication.
Technical Context
The TPS2383BPMG4 implements a master sequencer with eight independent port state machines, enabling time-sliced per-port management of discovery, classification, and powered states. Its shared analog resources include a 12-bit A/D converter with 8:1 MUX, CINT-based integration for resistance/capacitance measurement, and CR/CT-timed ramp control for EMI-reduced di/dt slew.
It uses external 0.5-Ω sense resistors (RS pins) and 665-Ω discovery resistors (RD), with precision bias set by RT (120 kΩ). Gate drive outputs (G pins) deliver up to 10 V to external N-MOSFETs, while dual SDA_I/SDA_O pins support opto-isolated I²C communication without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IEEE Standard | Compliant with IEEE 802.3af for PoE discovery, classification, and power delivery. |
| Port Count | Manages 8 independent Ethernet ports with full per-port register control and monitoring. |
| Input Voltage Range | 44 V to 57 V on V48 pin - supports standard 48-V PoE infrastructure with ±10% tolerance. |
| A/D Resolution | 12-bit port current and voltage acquisition - enables real-time load monitoring and fault diagnostics. |
| I²C Interface | Standard slave-mode I²C with separate SDA_I and SDA_O pins - allows opto-coupler isolation for ground-separated controller designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PoE PSE management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2384PWR | Quad-port variant in TSSOP-48; lacks dual SDA lines and LED drivers; lower channel count but smaller footprint. | Targeted at space-constrained 4-port injectors where isolation and visual indicators are secondary. | Select when port count and board area are prioritized over isolation flexibility and status visibility. |
| MAX5974AETJ+ | 4-port PoE controller with integrated MOSFET drivers; no external FET requirement; no 12-bit A/D or LED drivers. | Used in cost-sensitive, lower-channel-count applications where integrated FET simplifies BOM but telemetry is limited. | Choose when simplified layout and reduced external component count outweigh need for per-port A/D monitoring and optical isolation. |
Compared with TPS2383BPMG4, the TPS2384PWR offers half the port density and no opto-isolation support, while the MAX5974AETJ+ integrates power switches but sacrifices real-time telemetry and visual status - making TPS2383BPMG4 optimal for scalable, monitored, and isolated 8-port PoE systems.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPS2383BPMG4 in a PoE system?
The TPS2383BPMG4 serves as an octal Power Sourcing Equipment Manager (PSEPM) that discovers, classifies, and delivers power to IEEE 802.3af-compliant Powered Devices over Ethernet cabling. It manages all eight ports independently via I²C, performs real-time 12-bit current/voltage monitoring, and drives external N-MOSFETs for precise power control - making it central to mid-span injectors and managed PoE switches.
Does the TPS2383BPMG4 integrate power MOSFETs, or does it require external switching devices?
The TPS2383BPMG4 does not integrate power MOSFETs. It provides dedicated gate drive outputs (1G–8G pins) to control external low-side N-channel MOSFETs, enabling design flexibility and thermal optimization. This architecture allows selection of ultra-low RDS(on) FETs to minimize conduction losses - a key advantage in high-port-count systems where heat dissipation is critical.
How does the TPS2383BPMG4 support system-level ground isolation in PoE applications?
The TPS2383BPMG4 supports ground isolation via separate SDA_I and SDA_O pins, allowing direct connection to opto-coupler LEDs without level-shifting circuitry. SDA_O can be driven from the 48-V bus using an external current-limiting resistor, maintaining galvanic separation between the 48-V PoE domain and the grounded microcontroller - a feature explicitly highlighted in TI's SLUS565G datasheet.
What is the role of the CR, CT, and CINT pins on the TPS2383BPMG4?
The CR pin controls di/dt ramp timing during power-up/down using a 0.1-µF capacitor; CT sets the internal clock frequency (100–500 kHz) with a 120-kΩ RT resistor; CINT integrates A/D conversion signals with a 0.033-µF capacitor referenced to RG. These three pins collectively govern power sequencing accuracy, state machine timing, and measurement fidelity - all essential for IEEE 802.3af compliance.
Can the TPS2383BPMG4 detect and power non-IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices?
Yes. The TPS2383BPMG4 supports legacy device detection via capacitive sensing mode, enabled through register configuration. It uses its integrated 12-bit A/D to measure load capacitance during discovery - allowing safe identification and powering of non-compliant devices such as older VoIP phones, without risking damage from standard 25-kΩ resistor probing.
