Power Sourcing Equipment / Power over Ethernet

Next generation power-over-ethernet (PoE) systems can deliver up to 100 W to each powered device. Large LCD screens, wireless hot-spots and pan-tilt-zoom CCTV cameras are placing increased demands on PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE).

Design considerations

  • System capability must include ‘soft-start’ procedures, resilience to short-circuits, together with optimized thermal management and power density.
  • Superior protection and performance, such as low RDS(on) parameters, can be achieved by using dedicated PoE MOSFETs. They are designed specifically for the latest high-power PSE controllers.

MOSFET and GaN FET Handbook

Drawing on over 20 years’ of experience, the MOSFET and GaN FET Application Handbook: A Power Design Engineer’s Guide brings together a comprehensive set of learning and reference materials relating to the use of MOSFETs and GaN FETs in real world systems.
