5. Design Considerations
5.1. Isolation
The Si3460-EVB's PSE output power at V
output power requires that the input be isolated from earth ground. Typically, an ac to dc power supply or "wall
wart" is used to provide the 12 V power so the output of this supply is isolated from earth ground.
5.2. External Component Selection
Detailed notes on external component selection are provided in the Si3460-EVB User's Guide schematics and
BOM. In general, these recommendations must be followed closely to ensure output power stability and ripple
(power stage components), surge protection (surge protection diode), and overall IEEE 802.3 compliance.
5.3. Input DC Supply
The input power supply should be rated for at least 25% higher power level than the output power level chosen.
This is primarily to account for the 75 to 80% nominal efficiency performance of the Si3460-EVB reference design.
For example, to support a Class 0 PSE, for example, the input supply should be capable of supplying 19.25 W
(15.4 W x 1.25 = 19.25 W).
5.4. STATUS and RESET Interface
To reference the RESET and STATUS pins to system ground, the level shifting method shown in Figure 3 can be
used. Refer to the schematic in the Si3460-EVB document.
