[0002] In recent years, the communication industry has continuously accelerated the upgrade of optical bandwidth. The continuous improvement of network infrastructure such as optical access has brought convenience to our lives.

[0003] However, due to the uncertainty of power input, the deployment of gateway devices has always been a problem. Traditional gateway products mostly use a single adapter for power supply, but not all deployment environments have plugs to supply the adapter. In this context, gateway products with PoE technology have emerged.

[0004] POE (Power Over Ethernet) refers to a technology that, without any modification to the existing Ethernet Cat.5 cabling infrastructure, can transmit data signals to some IP-based terminals (such as IP telephones, wireless LAN access points AP, network cameras, etc.) and at the same time provide DC power supply for such devices. The POE technology can ensure the safety of the existing structured cabling while ensuring the normal operation of the existing network, and minimize costs.

[0055] The optical and electrical composite cable power supply circuit starts according to the power supply priority; at startup, it obtains external electrical energy input through the optical and electrical composite cable, and after electrical energy conversion, it obtains the working electrical energy that meets the usage requirements of the gateway main circuit.

[0057] The post-stage power supply processing circuit is used to establish protocol support with the external electrical energy input, and convert the external electrical energy input into working electrical energy according to the usage requirements of the gateway main circuit.

It adds relevant standards for direct power supply through network cables on the basis of IEEE 802.3. It is an extension of the existing Ethernet standard and also the first international standard for power distribution.

[0065] IEEE began developing this standard in 1999. The earliest participating manufacturers included 3Com, Intel, PowerDsine, Nortel, Mitel, and National Semiconductor. However, the shortcomings of this standard have always restricted the expansion of the market. Until June 2003, IEEE approved the 802.3af standard, which clearly stipulates power detection and control matters in remote systems and regulates the method of power supply from routers, switches, and hubs to devices such as IP phones, security systems, and wireless LAN access points through Ethernet cables. The development of IEEE 802.3af involved the efforts of many company experts, which also enabled this standard to be tested in all aspects.

[0066] In October 2009, the IEEE 802.3at standard was born in response to the needs of high-power terminals. On the basis of being compatible with the 802.3af standard, it provides greater power supply requirements to meet new needs.

[0077] It should be noted that: This embodiment provides a specific power supply circuit for an optical and electrical composite cable composed of Figure 6 and Figure 7 .

[0078] As a more specific solution, the power supply priority judgment circuit is used to judge the power supply priority:

[0079] When the power adapter power supply circuit can supply power normally, the power supply priority judgment is: power adapter power supply is preferred;

[0080] When the power adapter power supply circuit cannot supply power normally, PoF / PoE power supply judgment is carried out:

[0081] When the optical and electrical composite cable power supply circuit can supply power normally, the power supply priority judgment is: PoF power supply is preferred;

[0082] When the optical and electrical composite cable power supply circuit cannot supply power normally, the power supply priority judgment is: PoE power supply is preferred.

[0087] As a more specific solution, an AF / AT mode judgment circuit is also provided. The AF / AT mode judgment circuit is set through a DS1 optocoupler peripheral circuit to judge the current power supply mode of the PSE and give feedback to the main control chip.

[0088] It should be noted that: This embodiment provides an AF / AT mode judgment circuit and a TLP291 voltage detection circuit as shown in Figure 9 . Here, the main control chip can be either a separately set microprocessor chip or a MAC processing chip of the gateway main circuit for proxy processing.

[0094] According to Figures 2 to 9 The specific circuit provided is described as follows:

[0095] The specific logical steps of power supply conversion:

[0096] Method 1: Convert 12V from the mains through an ordinary adapter and supply power to the subsequent system through J4.

[0097] Method 2: Power supply through a PoE network cable is input from RJ45PJ1, and 48V is output after being tapped from the network port transformer T1 and rectified by a rectifier bridge. Through the PD protocol chip U8, negotiation is carried out according to the 802.3at standard protocol. The voltage between VDD-VSS will rise to 48V after handshaking. At this time, PG will be pulled high to enable the subsequent U6 (a wide-voltage input DCDC), which is converted to 11.5V and then supplies power to the subsequent system.

[0098] Method 3: Through an optical and electrical composite cable, it is input through the flange F2, and 56V is output after rectification (a suitable voltage can be selected according to the voltage drop of the actual power supply system (within the input range accepted by U6 DCDC)). When the non-protocol 56V is accessed, the power supply with the highest priority switches to the optical and electrical composite cable power supply, PG is pulled high, and the subsequent U6 is enabled, which is converted to 11.5V and then supplies power to the subsequent system.

[0099] The specific logical steps / judgment conditions for priority judgment;

[0100] Power over Fiber (PoF) and Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Supply Priority Judgment:

[0101] PoF power supply takes precedence over PoE power supply. When PoE power supply is connected during PoF power supply or PoF power supply is connected during PoE power supply, when the voltage between U8 VDD - VSS > 11.5V, the U8 chip starts to detect PoF power supply. Through the hot-swap function inside U8, when VDD - VAUX > 2.3V, the MOS transistor between the VSS pin and the RTN pin inside the chip disconnects, and the Classification current of PoE power supply becomes invalid, and PoE power supply is invalid. At this time, PG will still be pulled high, and the power supply method is PoF power supply via the optical fiber composite cable.

[0102] PoE / PoF Power Supply and Adapter Power Supply Priority Judgment:

[0103] Solution 1: Considering cost factors, and there is no requirement for the switching time and continuous power supply during the switching process in this product. Utilize the characteristics of Schottky diodes to achieve priority judgment. Appropriately set the voltage after U6 DCDC conversion for PoE / PoF to 11.5V. When the adapter supplies 12V, the Schottky diode D5 is reversely cut off. Adapter power supply takes precedence.

[0104] Solution 2: Slightly higher cost, add peripheral circuits such as U10. When the adapter is connected, the AND gate outputs a corresponding high level to the gateway CPU side. After detecting this level, then control the enable pin of U6 DCDC used for PoE / PoF to turn off the PoE / PoF output. Adapter power supply takes precedence. Similarly, a similar circuit can be used to detect PoF power supply to monitor the device working status. After receiving the corresponding detection signal, an additional MOS transistor switch circuit can be added to control the power supply at the adapter end. Due to cost limitations, no additional expansion is made.

[0105] This product only requires a priority circuit that can make judgments: Adapter > PoF > PoE.

[0106] AF / AT Mode Judgment:

[0107] Utilize the DS1 optocoupler and peripheral circuits. When the Type2PSE device is powered, T2P is pulled low. When the CPU detects the low level, it judges that it is working in the AT mode. Otherwise, T2P is pulled high, and it is detected that it is working in the AF mode. Currently, it is for monitoring the power supply type at the source end.

[0108] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
