MAXREFDES1149: 12V/1A, synchronous, no optocoupler, isolated POE DC-DC converter

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows network cables to deliver power to a powered device (PD) via power-sourcing equipment (PSE) or midspan, and has many advantages over traditional methods of delivering power. The MAXREFDES1149 reference design is a 36V~57V input to 12V/1A output flyback PoE PD power module to be used in Ethernet equipment that needs the 12V power supply to be isolated from the primary Ethernet power.
