Easing design for rapidly growing Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) introduced a two-layer PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) evaluation module and TI Design based on TI's new TPS23861 PoE controller.
The high-performance quad-port controller and reference design significantly reduce development time and cost when creating PoE-enabled network video recorders, IP phone switches and wireless base stations.
For custom power management programmability and configuration, the TI Design's motherboard provides interfaces for two optional boards, the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad and USB-to-GPIO Interface Adapter, which are both available in the TI eStore.
With state-of-the-art semiconductor products and extensive systems expertise, TI enables manufacturers to quickly deliver higher-performance PoE products to end-equipment designers. TI is a founding member of the PoETec Consortium and University of New Hampshire's PoE Consortium. TI has been instrumental in IEEE's 802.3bt task force to deliver a higher power PoE standard.
