Quad Network Power Controller
for Power-Over-LAN
General Description
The MAX5935 quad network power controller is designed
for use in IEEE 802.3af-compliant power sourcing equip-
ment (PSE). The device provides power devices (PD) dis-
covery, classification, current limit, and both DC and AC
load disconnect detections. The MAX5935 can be used
in either endpoint PSE (LAN switches/routers) or midspan
PSE (power injector) applications.
The MAX5935 can operate autonomously or be con-
trolled by software through an I
2
C-compatible interface.
Separate input and output data lines (SDAIN and
SDAOUT) allow usage with optocouplers. The
MAX5935 is a slave device. Its four address inputs
allow 16 unique MAX5935 addresses. A separate
INT
output and four independent shutdown inputs (SHD_)
allow fast response from a fault to port shutdown. A
RESET
input allows hardware reset of the device. A
special Watchdog feature allows the hardware to
gracefully take over control if the software crashes. A
cadence timing feature allows the MAX5935 to be used
in midspan systems.
The MAX5935 is fully software configurable and program-
mable. A class-over-current detection function enables
system power management to detect if a PD draws more
current than the allowable amount for its class. Other fea-
tures are input under/overvoltage lockout, overtempera-
ture protection, output voltage slew-rate limit during
startup, power-good, and fault status. The MAX5935’s
programmability includes gate charging current, current-
limit threshold, startup timeout, overcurrent timeout,
autorestart duty cycle, PD disconnect AC detection
threshold, and PD disconnect detection timeout.
The MAX5935 is available in a 36-pin SSOP package
and is rated for both extended (-40°C to +85°C) and
commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature ranges.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
