DESCRIPTION
NAME
NO.
Multifunction pin, serves as a converter soft start and a hiccup timer. A capacitor to RTN determines the
softstart and hiccup timing.

Converter error amplifier inverting input. Tie to RTN when not used.
Converter error amplifier output and PWM block input. COMP is used for loop compensation or PWM control
with an external error amplifier and opto-isolator.
COMP

I/O
Voltage-level translator's sense input and enable; connect to RTN to disable. SEN is regulated to 1.5 V below
SENP by the control loop when the translator is used. Typically used in a low-side switch buck converter.

No connect. There are no internal connections.
Voltage-level translator's positive reference voltage (sense positive) used in conjunction with SEN. Tie to the
regulated voltage positive rail when the translator is used, and VDD otherwise.

PWR Positive supply input.
DET
O
PoE detection pin; a 24.9 kΩ resistor to VDD establishes a valid signature. It is pulled to VSS during detection.
Classification pin for PoE. A resistor to VSS sets the PoE device class. This pin is driven to 10 V during
classification.

PWR Negative supply input from the PoE feed (after required ORing bridges).
The switched PoE negative output. RTN is the converter’s negative input rail. COM and RSN should be tied to
RTN.

VBIAS
Connect to VBIAS to disable the error amplifier, otherwise to RTN.
Converter internal 5 V bias supply output, also used to bias external optocoupler. A bypass capacitor to RTN
is required.
O
Converter current sense blanking selector. Leave floating for minimum blanking, tie BL to RTN for a short
period, and to VBIAS for a long period.
