Overview
The NCP1081DEG, produced by ON Semiconductor, is a highly integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD) interface and DC-DC converter controller. This component is designed to support both the IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at standards, enabling it to deliver up to 25.5 W for IEEE802.3at and up to 40 W for proprietary high power PoE applications. The NCP1081DEG combines an enhanced PoE-PD interface with a flexible and configurable DC-DC converter controller, making it an ideal solution for demanding medium and high power Ethernet applications.
This device eliminates the need for local power adaptors or power supplies, significantly reducing installation and maintenance costs. It is fabricated in a robust high voltage process and integrates a rugged vertical N-channel DMOS with low loss current sense techniques, suitable for harsh environments such as hot swap and cable ESD events.
