1 Introduction
The TPS2379EVM allows reference circuit evaluation of the TI TPS2379 PD controller. The TPS2379
features GATE output for controlling external MOSFETs for extended power applications. It also features a
100 V pass transistor, 140 mA inrush current limiting, type-2 indication, auto-retry fault protection, and an
open-drain power-good output.
1.1 Features
• Gigabit Ethernet pass through interface
• Switched output return for “ease of use” loading
• GATE output to drive the external MOSFET
• Extra detection and class signature selection for non-standard applications
• IEEE 802.3at type-2 hardware classification with status flag (T2P) and LED
• DC/DC converter enable (CDB)
• Robust 100 V, 0.5 Ω internal hotswap MOSFET and 100 V, 64 m Ω external MOSFET
• Operating power in excess of 60W with four-pair PSE
1.2 Applications
• IEEE 802.3at-compliant devices
• Video and VoIP telephones
• Multiband access points
• Security cameras
• Pico-base stations
