National Semiconductor LM5070 Integrated Power over Ethernet PD Interface and PWM Controller Datasheet
The LM5070 is a fully IEEE 802.3af‑compliant power interface and pulse‑width‑modulation controller for Powered Devices in Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. It integrates an 80 V, 400 mA internal MOSFET switch, programmable inrush current limit, classification current, and under‑voltage lockout, providing a complete solution for PoE power sequencing.
Key features include selectable maximum duty‑cycle limits (80 % with slope compensation or 50 % without), an 800 mA peak gate‑driver, and support for both isolated and non‑isolated applications. The device is offered in TSSOP‑16 and LLP‑16 packages, with detailed electrical characteristics and thermal specifications provided for designers.
