MAX5969B Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX5969A/MAX5969B
General Description
The MAX5969B evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested surface-mount circuit board featur-
ing an Ethernet port, network powered-device (PD)
interface-controller circuit for IEEE® 802.3af/at-compliant
power-over-Ethernet (PoE) systems. The EV kit features
the MAX5969B IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant network PD
interface controller IC in a 10-pin TDFN package. The
MAX5969B is used in PoE applications requiring DC
power from an Ethernet network port for PDs such as IP
phones, wireless access nodes, and security cameras.
The EV kit receives power from IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant
power-sourcing equipment (PSE). Refer to the MAX5965
and MAX5971 IC data sheets for PSE controllers. The
PSE provides the required -30V to -57V DC power over
an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet network cable to
the EV kit’s RJ45 magnetic jack. The EV kit features a 1
x 1GbE RJ45 magnetic jack and two diode bridges for
separating the DC power provided by an endspan or
midspan Ethernet system.
The EV kit can also be powered by a wall adapter power
source. The EV kit provides PCB pads to accept the
output of a wall adapter power source. When a wall
adapter power source is detected, it always takes
precedence over the PSE source, allowing the wall
adapter to power the EV kit.
The EV kit demonstrates the full functionality of the
IC, such as PD detection signature, PD classification
signature, in-rush current control, and input under-
voltage lockout (UVLO). The EV kit also provides a
modular RJ45 jack to interface with the Ethernet data
signals only.
The EV kit also features a galvanically isolated 22.7W,
600kHz switching frequency flyback DC-DC converter,
which uses the MAX15000A current-mode PWM con-
troller. The IC’s output provides power for the converter
circuit. The DC-DC converter is configured for an output
voltage of +12V and provides up to 1.9A. High efficiency
up to 89% is achieved using a single transistor flyback
DC-DC converter topology. The surface-mount trans-
former provides up to +1500V galvanic isolation for the
output. UVLO, soft-start, and thermal shutdown provide
a robust 22.7W isolated power supply. The DC-DC
converter operates at 600kHz, allowing the use of small
magnetics and output capacitors. The EV kit can also
evaluate the MAX5969A after IC replacement (U1).

Quick Start
Required Equipment
• IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PSE and Category 5e
Ethernet network cable
• -48V,1A-capableDCpowersupply
• MAX5969BEVkit
• Voltmeter
Hardware Connections
The MAX5969B EV kit is fully assembled and test-
ed. Follow the steps below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all
connections are completed.
1) Use one of the following methods to power the EV kit:
• If network connectivity is required: Connect
a Category 5e Ethernet network cable from the
EV kit input port RJ45 connector to the corre-
sponding PSE Ethernet LAN connection, which
provides power to the EV kit. A modular RJ45 jack
(J3) provides an interface with the Ethernet data
signals only.
• Ifnetworkconnectivityisnotrequired: Connect
a -48V DC power supply between the VDD and
VSS pads on the EV kit. Connect the power-supply
positive terminal to the VDD pad and the negative
terminal to the VSS pad.
2) Activate the PSE power supply or turn on the external
DC power supply.
3) Using a voltmeter, verify that the EV kit provides +12V
across the +12V and GND pads. GND is galvanically
isolated from the EV kit’s input VDD and WAD pads.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX5969B EV kit features an Ethernet port,
network PD interface-controller circuit for -57V
supply rail systems. The EV kit contains a MAX5969B
IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PD controller IC in a 10-pin
TDFN package with an exposed pad. The IC is used in
PoE applications for powering PDs from an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) Ethernet Category 5e network cable
and PSE port using endspan or midspan Ethernet sys-
tems.
The EV kit receives power from an IEEE 802.3af/at-
compliant PSE and a UTP cable connected to the EV
kit’s RJ45 magnetic jack. The EV kit uses a 1 x 1GbE
RJ45 magnetic jack and two diode-bridge power recti-
fiers (D3, D4) to separate the -57V DC power sent by
the PSE. The EV kit accepts power from an endspan
or midspan PSE network configuration. The EV kit also
provides an RJ45 jack (J3) for interface to the Ethernet
data signals only.
The EV kit can also accept power from a wall adapter
power source. When a wall adapter power source is
detected between the WAD and RTN PCB pads, the IC’s
internal isolation switch disconnects VSS from RTN, which
allows the wall adapter to supply power to the EV kit.
The EV kit demonstrates the full functionality of the
MAX5969B, such as PD detection signature, PD
classification signature, in-rush current control, and
UVLO. The EV kit also provides modular jack J3 to inter-
face with the Ethernet data signals from the RJ45 mag-
netic jack. Resistor R1 sets the PD detection signature;
the PD classification signature is determined by resistor
R2.
The EV kit’s galvanically isolated 22.7W flyback DC-DC
converter uses a MAX15000A current-mode PWM
controller. The MAX5969B’s VDD and RTN pins pro-
vide power for the DC-DC converter input circuit. The
DC-DC converter is configured for an output voltage of
+12V and provides up to 1.9A at the output, while
achieving up to 89% efficiency. Minimal component
count is achieved using a single transistor (N1) flyback
DC-DC converter topology. The surface-mount trans-
former (T1) provides up to 1500V galvanic isolation for
the output. Current-sense resistors R12 and R13 limit
the peak current through transistor N1 and the primary
of transformer T1. Isolated feedback voltage is achieved
using optical coupler U3 and shunt regulator U4. Voltage
feedback resistors R23 and R25 set the output voltage.
Resistor R26 and capacitor C21 form a snubber network
that suppresses transient overvoltage ringing at diode
D7 caused by transformer T1’s leakage inductance and
the junction capacitance of diode D7.
Internal UVLO, soft-start, and thermal shutdown within
the MAX15000A provide for a robust 22.7W isolated
power-supply design. The MAX15000A PWM controller
operates at 600kHz and the switching duty cycle is lim-
ited to 50% (max). Refer to the MAX15000 IC data sheet
for more information on this controller.
Warning: The MAX5969B EV kit is designed to operate
with high voltages. Dangerous voltages are present on
this EV kit and on equipment connected to it. Users who
power up this EV kit or power the sources connected to it
must be careful to follow safety procedures appropriately
when working with high-voltage electrical equipment.

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 5
Under severe fault or failure conditions, this EV kit can
dissipate large amounts of power, which could result in
the mechanical ejection of a component or of component
debris at high velocity. Operate this EV kit with care to
avoid possible personal injury.
PD Classification Signature
By default, the EV kit is set for a Class 4 (12.95W to
25.5W) PD classification by resistor R2. To change the
PD classification, replace surface-mount resistor R2.
Table 1 lists the PD classification options.
Wall Adapter Power Source (WAD, RTN)
The EV kit can also accept power from a wall adapter
power source. Use the WAD PCB pad for connecting
the more positive terminal and the RTN PCB pad for con-
necting the more negative terminal to the wall adapter
power source. The wall adapter power-source operating-
voltage range must be within +30V to +57V for the EV kit.
When the wall adapter power source is above +10V, it
takes precedence over the PSE source. Once the wall
adapter power source is detected, the IC’s internal
isolation switch disconnects VSS from RTN. The wall
adapter power is supplied to VDD (through diode D2)
and RTN. Once it takes over, the classification process
is disabled.
When the wall adapter power source is below +7V, the
PSE provides power through the IC’s RTN. Diode D2
prevents the PSE from back-driving the wall adapter
power source when it is below +7V.
Ethernet Data Signal Interfacing
The EV kit features a modular RJ45 jack (J3) to inter-
face with the Ethernet data signals. J3 is provided for
interfacing the EV kit with the Ethernet data signals only.
Refer to the RJ45 magnetic jack data sheet on the Bel
Fuse website prior to interfacing the EV kit’s J3 modular
RJ45 jack with the Ethernet data signals.
Evaluating the MAX5969A
The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX5969A. Remove the
MAX5969B IC (U1) and replace it with the MAX5969A.
The MAX5969A is pin compatible with the MAX5969B.
The MAX5969A has a lower UVLO of -35.4V com-
pared to the MAX5969B’s UVLO of -38.6V. Refer to
the MAX5969A/MAX5969B IC data sheet for additional
information.
