SLVS885D – OCTOBER 2008 – REVISED DECEMBER 2009
Several examples will demonstrate the limitations inherent in ORing solutions. Diode ORing a 48 V adapter with
PoE (option 1) presents the problem that either source might be higher. A blocking switch would be required to
assure which source was active. A second example is combining a 12 V adapter with PoE using option 2. The
converter will draw approximately four times the current at 12 V from the adapter than it does from PoE at 48 V.
Transition from adapter power to PoE may demand more current than can be supplied by the PSE. The
converter must be turned off while CIN capacitance charges, with a subsequent converter restart at the higher
voltage and lower input current. A third example is use of a 12 V adapter with ORing option 1. The PD hotswap
would have to handle four times the current, and have 1/16 the resistance (be 16 times larger) to dissipate equal
power. A fourth example is that MPS is lost when running from the adapter, causing the PSE to remove power
from the PD. If ac power is then lost, the PD will stop operating until the PSE detects and powers the PD.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The TPS23754 will support many power supply topologies that require a single PWM gate drive or two
complementary gate drives and will operate with current-mode control.
Figure 1 provides an example of an active
clamp forward converter that uses the second gate driver to control M2, the active element in the clamp. GAT2
may also be used to drive a synchronous rectifier as demonstrated in
Figure 28. The TPS23754 may be used in
topologies that do not require GAT2, which may be disabled to reduce its idling loss.
Selecting a converter topology along with a design procedure is beyond the scope of this applications section.
Examples to help in programming the TPS23754 are shown below. Additional special topics are included to
explain the ORing capabilities, frequency dithering, and other design considerations.
For more specific converter design examples refer to the following application notes:

Input Bridges and Schottky Diodes
Using Schottky diodes instead of PN junction diodes for the PoE input bridges and DVDD will reduce the loss of
this function by about 30%. There are however some things to consider when using them.
The IEEE standard specifies a maximum backfeed voltage of 2.8 V. A 100 k
resistor is placed between the
unpowered pairs and the voltage is measured across the resistor. Schottky diodes often have a higher reverse
leakage current than PN diodes, making this a harder requirement to meet. Use conservative design for diode
operating temperature, select lower-leakage devices where possible, and match leakage and temperatures by
using packaged bridges to help with this.
