Auxiliary Supply Support
To support applications connected to non PoE enabled
networks and minimize the bill of materials, the NCP1082
supports drawing power from an external supply. The
NCP1082 supports the IEEE 802.3af standard when the PoE
capability is available and acts as a regular DC-DC converter
when there is no power source on the Ethernet cable as
shown in Figure 11.
Auxiliary supply support can be implemented in three
ways depending on where the auxiliary supply is injected.
The front, rear and direct auxiliary supply configurations are
explained in more detail in the application note AND9080.

When the auxiliary input supply is above 13.5 V, connect
the AUX pin to VPORTN
1,2.
. When the auxiliary supply is
below 13.5 V (but above 9 V), calculate the voltage dividers
Raux1, Raux3 and Raux2, Rdet1, Rdet2 to divide the input
voltage using the below formulas together with the formulas
from the previous section. This will ensure that for valid input
voltages, the voltage at the UVLO and AUX pins are above
their threshold voltages. Note that the maximum voltage is
3.3 V.

Where V
d
is the voltage drop over the rectifiers and masking
diodes (typical 0.6 V), V
dp
is the forward drop of the
NCP1082 internal diode (typical 0.5 V), and V
t
is the
threshold voltage on the AUX pin (typical 1.5 V).
Note that as soon the auxiliary supply is connected the
PoE interface (detection and classification) is disabled and
does not allow the PD device to be powered from the
Ethernet until the auxiliary supply is removed.
If the PoE PD device was drawing the current from the
Ethernet cable before the auxiliary supply is connected, the
power will continue to be supplied from the Ethernet cable
unless the voltage of the auxiliary supply is higher than the
Ethernet supply voltage.
Inrush and Operational Current Limitations
The inrush current limit and the operational current limit
are programmed individually by an external Rinrush and
Rilim1 resistors respectively connected between INRUSH
and VPORTN
1,2
, and between ILIM1 and VPORTN
1,2
as
shown in Figure 12.
