Product details
Overview
TPS23882B1RTQR from Texas Instruments is an 8-channel IEEE 802.3bt Type-3 2-pair Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) controller with autonomous mode, SRAM programmability, and 200-mΩ current sense resistor. It delivers up to 30 W per port, supports ±4% programmable power limiting, achieves 2% current sensing accuracy via dedicated 14-bit integrating ADCs, and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C for industrial PoE switch applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS23882B1RTQR datasheet, TPS23882B1RTQR pinout, TPS23882B1RTQR application, or TPS23882B1RTQR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative PSE controllers for PoE 2 Type-3 2-pair system design and migration.
Technical Context
The TPS23882B1RTQR implements a per-port 14-bit integrating ADC architecture with noise-immune MPS for DC disconnect and parallel classification measurement capability-enabling faster port turn-on times. Its autonomous mode requires no MCU and supports user-selectable 15-W or 30-W operation with 4-W/7-W/15.4-W/30-W configurable 2-pair allocations.
It uses an external N-channel MOSFET architecture with Kelvin-sense current monitoring (SEN1–SEN8 + KSENSA–KSENSD), 4-point detection logic to prevent invalid load powering, and fast shutdown via 1-bit or 3-bit OSS input with sub-microsecond gate turnoff during faults. The device integrates I²C (8-bit or 16-bit) with 16 kB SRAM for field-upgradable firmware compatible with TI's FirmPSE system.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-pair PoE PSE controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS23881RTQR | Supports both 2-pair and 4-pair 802.3bt Type-3/4 operation; includes 4-pair PCUT accuracy ±2.5%; adds channel capacitance measurement (1–12 µF). | Required for 4-pair PoE 2 deployments exceeding 60 W; not suitable if design strictly targets 2-pair-only Type-3. | Select TPS23881RTQR when future 4-pair scalability or higher-power 4-pair operation is needed; otherwise TPS23882B1RTQR offers optimized 2-pair cost/performance. |
| TPS23880RTQR | Pin-compatible but lacks SRAM programmability, FirmPSE firmware support, and autonomous mode; uses 0.255-Ω RSENSE. | Targeted at fixed-function, non-upgradable PoE systems where field firmware updates or MCU-free operation are unnecessary. | Choose TPS23880RTQR only for legacy drop-in replacement where SRAM, autonomous mode, and ±4% power limiting are not required. |
Compared with TPS23881RTQR and TPS23880RTQR, the TPS23882B1RTQR uniquely balances 2-pair-only optimization, field-upgradable SRAM, and autonomous operation-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, and firmware-evolvable PoE switch designs without 4-pair requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum per-port power supported by the TPS23882B1RTQR?
The TPS23882B1RTQR supports up to 30 W per port in 2-pair configuration under IEEE 802.3bt Type-3 compliance. It offers selectable allocations of 4 W, 7 W, 15.4 W, or 30 W per port. This limit is enforced via programmable power limiting with ±4% accuracy and validated by per-port current sensing using its 14-bit integrating ADCs and 0.200-Ω sense resistor. The TPS23882B1RTQR does not support 4-pair operation or Type-4 power levels.
Does the TPS23882B1RTQR require an external microcontroller to operate?
No-the TPS23882B1RTQR supports autonomous mode via its dedicated AUTO pin, enabling standalone 15-W or 30-W operation without any host MCU. When the AUTO pin is pulled to GND through a resistor and bypassed with a 10-nF capacitor, the device executes full PD detection, classification, power application, and telemetry independently. An MCU is only required for advanced features like I²C programming, SRAM firmware updates, or semi-auto/manual modes.
How does the TPS23882B1RTQR achieve accurate current sensing?
The TPS23882B1RTQR achieves 2% current sensing accuracy using dedicated per-port 14-bit integrating ADCs combined with Kelvin-sense architecture (SEN1–SEN8 + KSENSA–KSENSD) and a precision 0.200-Ω external current sense resistor. Each ADC performs noise-immune measurements with built-in anti-aliasing and 2-µs analog filtering, supporting both real-time telemetry and classification current measurement without host intervention.
Is the TPS23882B1RTQR pin-compatible with earlier TI PSE controllers?
Yes-the TPS23882B1RTQR is pin-to-pin compatible with TPS2388, TPS23880, and TPS23881 in the VQFN-56 (RTQ) package. This allows direct PCB reuse and interchangeable 2-layer designs across generations. However, functional differences exist: TPS23882B1RTQR adds SRAM programmability, autonomous mode, improved RSENSE (0.200 Ω vs. 0.255 Ω), and ±4% power limiting-requiring register and firmware updates despite mechanical compatibility.
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS23882B1RTQR in a typical design?
In a standard 2-layer PCB with proper thermal pad grounding, the TPS23882B1RTQR delivers RθJA = 25.3 °C/W and RθJB = 3.7 °C/W. Its –40 °C to +125 °C operating junction temperature range and integrated thermal protection enable convection-cooled operation in industrial PoE switches. Layout best practices-such as connecting AGND/DGND to the exposed thermal pad and minimizing trace resistance on Kelvin sense paths-are essential to maintain specified accuracy and reliability.
