TI's Power-over-Ethernet controller can deliver greater than 90 percent efficiency

Texas Instruments has introduced a high-efficiency, high-power Power-over-Ethernet controller for 13 or 26W powered device applications, such as IP phones, wireless access points or security cameras. Fully compliant to the IEEE 802.3at draft 4.0 standard, the integrated TPS23754 supports DC/DC converter topologies that can achieve higher than 90 percent power conversion efficiency, which reduces heat and increases reliability of the system. The single-chip PoE solution leverages a 100-V manufacturing process to provide a robust solution in a 13 or 26W design.
