Figure 9
shows key waveforms of over-current protection by the hot swap MOSFET’s dc current limit. The
PoE input voltage is at 38V. The input current exceeds the 800 mA current limit of the hot swap MOSFET,
and causes the voltage at the RTN pin to rise rapidly. It also discharges the soft start capacitor CE26
connected to the SS pin, and the circuit enters the automatic retry mode as long as the over-current
condition is present.
