DESCRIPTION
PD64012GH is a twelve-port, mixed-signal, high-voltage High Power over Ethernet PSE Manager. The IC allows the detection of IEEE 802.3af-2003 powered devices, ensuring safe power feeding and removal over Ethernet ports. It also supports pre-standard IEEE802.3at devices consuming up to 59.5W. With full digital control via a serial communication interface and a minimum of external components, the IC integrates in multi-port and highly populated Ethernet switches.
