1. Introduction
The Si3402 is designed to support up to 20 W of input power with over 15 W of power delivered to the load. For this
reason, the standard reference designs have been optimized for high-power situations.
The IEEE standard for PoE (802.3 clause 33) specifies the PD classes as listed in Table 1.

Even the 3 W of output power that can realistically be derived from a Class 1 interface is adequate for many
applications. This application note shows how the standard reference design is modified and simplified to support
lower power situations.
2. Optimized Reference Designs
Figure 1 shows the completed schematic of the Class 1 reference design for the isolated case, and Figure 2 shows
the reference design for the non-isolated case. Tables 2 and 3 are the bills of materials corresponding to Figures 1
and 2.
