TI Unveils Integrated Power over Ethernet Solution with Four Independent Ports

Building on innovation to enable the seamless sharing of power and data over the same Ethernet cable, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced a next-generation power management integrated circuit (IC) that simplifies design of IEEE 802.3af-compliant power source equipment (PSE). The versatile, quad-port power manager can support operation at -40º to +125º C for a wide range of commercial, industrial and military applications such as sophisticated enterprise systems with up to 128 ports to low-port count hub Ethernet switches for small office/home office applications.
