[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0026] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an Ethernet network system 1 according to the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the Ethernet network 1 includes one or more power sourcing equipment (PSE) 200 and one or more powered devices PD 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d connected via cables supporting the Ethernet protocol. It should be understood that only one PSE 200 and four PDs are shown in the illustrated embodiment, and it should be understood that the number of PSEs and PDs is merely exemplary.

[0027] In applications of Power over Ethernet (POE), the cable usually includes two pairs of power terminals, each pair of power terminals can be rectified into direct current through a rectifier bridge of a power supply equipment (PSE), and power is supplied to the powered device (PD) through each pair of power terminals. However, there are risks in using POE cable power supply, and some powered devices (PD) are usually powered by an additional auxiliary power supply to ensure that the powered device can continue to be powered even if the POE cable is powered off. Traditional powered devices (such as their controllers or control chips) are usually equipped with auxiliary power pins to provide auxiliary power requirements. However, when auxiliary power and POE power supply exist at the same time, the traditional powered device cannot support the POE power-on logic, which exposes the powered device to dangers such as overcurrent. According to the present disclosure, a circuit is provided that can simultaneously support auxiliary power and POE power supply while supporting the normal execution of the power-on logic of the POE of the powered device.

[0028] Figure 2FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a controller 110 of a powered device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the controller 110 includes a control unit 40, a first power supply terminal ADP, a second power supply terminal VDD, a power output terminal OUT, and a switch 20. In some embodiments, the control unit 40 can be configured to execute POE power-on logic, for example, configured to detect, classify, mark, and start a series of standard power-ons related to the protocol, such as current limiting. In particular, the control unit 40 can be configured to obtain a second voltage of the second power supply terminal VDD, and execute the power-on logic based on the Ethernet protocol and the second voltage.

[0029] The first power supply terminal ADP may be connected to a capacitor C ADP In some embodiments, the capacitor C ADP The positive electrode is connected to the first power supply terminal ADP, the capacitor C ADP The negative pole can be grounded. The second power supply terminal VDD can be connected to the Ethernet power supply terminal, and the second power supply terminal VDD can indicate the voltage at the Ethernet power supply terminal. The power output terminal OUT can be connected to the load of the powered device. In some embodiments, the power output terminal OUT can be connected to a DC-DC converter provided at the load, and the load is powered via the DC-DC converter. The switch 20 is connected to the power output terminal OUT. The on and off of the load power supply circuit can be controlled by the on and off of the switch 20. In some embodiments, the control unit 40 is connected to the control terminal of the switch 20 and is configured to control the on-state of the switch 20 based on the on signal. In some embodiments, the switch 20 may include at least one of a triode, a field effect transistor and a thyristor. In some embodiments, the switch 20 may also be other circuit modules with overcurrent protection and surge current limiting protection functions.

[0030] The controller 110 further includes a first comparator 10. The first comparator 10 is configured to compare the first voltage at the first power supply terminal ADP with a first predetermined threshold and output a conduction signal based on the first voltage being greater than the first predetermined threshold. The conduction signal may be output to the control unit 40, and the control unit 40 may control the switch 20 to conduct based on the conduction signal.

[0031] In some embodiments, the controller 110 may further include a constant current source 50. The constant current source 50 is connected to the first power supply terminal ADP and is configured to supply a current to the capacitor C before the switch 20 is turned on. ADP Charge. On capacitor C ADP When the first power supply terminal ADP is connected to the first power supply terminal ADP and the first power supply terminal ADP is connected to the constant current source 50, once the controller 110 is started, the controller 110 will automatically supply C ADP In some embodiments, the constant current source may be connected to a power supply of the controller 110, for example.

[0032] In some embodiments, the controller 110 may further include a second comparator 30. The second comparator 30 is configured to compare the first voltage at the first power supply terminal ADP with a second predetermined threshold value, and output a deactivation signal based on the first voltage being greater than the predetermined second threshold value. The control unit 40 may be connected to the output terminal of the second comparator 30, and is configured to turn off the switch 20 based on the deactivation signal.

[0033] In some embodiments, the circuit of the controller 110 may be implemented as an integrated circuit. In other embodiments, the circuit of the controller 110 may be implemented in the form of a circuit board. In the illustrated embodiment, the capacitor C ADP It is illustrated as being separate from the controller 110. It should be understood that this is merely exemplary. ADP May be implemented as part of the controller 110 .

[0034] The controller according to the present disclosure executes the power-on logic according to the Ethernet protocol. When the input voltage VDD exceeds a predetermined voltage, such as 11.6V, this corresponds to the end of the POE detection function. The controller outputs a fixed current to the ADP pin. The fixed current is applied to the capacitor C disposed outside the controller. ADP When the ADP voltage exceeds the predetermined threshold value Vref1, the controller 110 directly turns on the switch 20, allowing the subsequent load to start and start to provide power to the load. According to the present disclosure, the POE power supply and the auxiliary power supply can be allowed to exist at the same time, and the power is still powered on according to the main POE power supply protocol, without affecting a series of standard power-on related to the protocol such as detection, classification, marking and current limiting startup.

[0035] In some embodiments, by selecting an appropriate capacitor C ADP The capacitance and the fixed current are used to achieve synchronization with the standard power-on process. In some embodiments, the protocol power-on is generally required to be completed within a specified time (e.g., <200ms), which can be achieved by properly designing the ADP charging current value and the capacitance C ADP The capacitance value ensures that the ADP voltage does not exceed the threshold Vref1 during the protocol power-on process, thereby not affecting the POE power-on. In some embodiments, after the Ethernet power-on classification stage is completed, a conduction signal is output.

[0036] In some embodiments, if the voltage of VDD is still lower than the predetermined start-up voltage value of the protocol power-on, such as 37.5V, after the power-on exceeds the specified time (e.g., 200ms), this will be considered as auxiliary power supply. In this case, the switch 20 can be controlled to close to supply power to the subsequent load through the auxiliary power supply. This auxiliary power supply mode is suitable for the situation where the voltage of the auxiliary power supply is low, such as less than 30V.

[0037] In some embodiments, when the auxiliary power supply voltage is high, for example, greater than 30V, the switch 20 will limit the maximum current flowing through, resulting in failure to provide full power to the load. In this case, a second comparator can be set to compare the ADP pin voltage with a predetermined threshold value Vref2, and the predetermined threshold value Vref2 can be set to be greater than Vref1. When the ADP pin voltage exceeds Vref2, the power supply path of the switch 20 will be directly disconnected, so that the load power supply is not limited by the maximum current of the switch 20, thereby providing full power to the subsequent load.

[0038] Combine the following Figure 3 and Figure 4 Different application scenarios of the controller according to the embodiments of the present disclosure are further described. Figure 3 A circuit diagram showing the simultaneous powering of POE power supply and auxiliary power supply according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 It is particularly suitable for the situation where POE power supply and auxiliary power supply exist at the same time and the voltage of the auxiliary power supply 300 is relatively low.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the power supply device 200 may include a power supply 210 and rectifier bridges 220a and 220b. In the illustrated embodiment, the Ethernet power supply includes two pairs of power lines, namely a first pair of power lines and a second pair of power lines. The power supply device 200 can power the powered device 100 through the first pair of power lines and the second pair of power lines. The powered device 100 may include a controller 110, a load 130, and a capacitor C connected to the ADP terminal of the controller. ADP The controller 110 can be connected with Figure 2 The controllers of the illustrated embodiments are the same and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the positive line of the first pair of power supply lines can be connected to the positive terminal of the load 130, and the positive line of the second pair of power supply lines can be connected to the second power supply terminal VDD of the controller 110; the negative line of the first pair of power supply lines is connected to the negative line of the second pair of power supply lines, and can be connected in series with the switch 20 in the controller 110 and connected to the negative electrode of the load 130. The negative line of the first pair of power supply lines and the negative line of the second pair of power supply lines can be connected to the capacitor C ADP In some embodiments, the negative electrode line of the first pair of power supply lines, the negative electrode line of the second pair of power supply lines, the capacitor C ADP The negative pole can be grounded.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, an auxiliary power supply 300 is also provided, and the auxiliary power supply 300 is configured to provide auxiliary power to the powered device 110. This has benefits when the power supply line of the power supply device 200 fails and / or the load 130 needs a higher power supply. The auxiliary power supply 300 can be a battery and / or a power adapter. The positive pole of the auxiliary power supply 300 can be connected to the VDD terminal and the positive pole line of the second pair of power supply lines. In some embodiments, the auxiliary power supply 300 can be connected to the positive pole line of the VDD terminal and the second pair of power supply lines through a diode 310. The negative pole of the auxiliary power supply 300 can be connected to the negative pole line of the first pair of power supply lines and / or the negative pole line of the second pair of power supply lines.

[0042] In some embodiments, the POE power supply voltage is generally above 38V; when the auxiliary power supply output is less than 38V, it is, for example, 24V. When the powered device 100 is operating, the constant current source 50 is connected to the capacitor C ADP During charging, the ADP voltage rises from 0. When the comparator 10 determines that the ADP voltage is less than the Vref1 threshold, the protocol power-on of the controller 110 of the powered device 100 is not affected. After the comparator 10 determines that the ADP voltage exceeds the threshold Vref1, the control unit 40 turns on the switch 20, thereby supplying power to the subsequent load 130. In this case, even if the POE power supply is disconnected, the auxiliary power supply can provide electrical power to the load alone.

[0043] According to the present disclosure, a power supply method is also provided. The power supply method comprises: connecting a capacitor C ADP The positive electrode of the first pair of power supply terminals in the Ethernet power supply terminal is connected to the first power supply terminal ADP; the first positive line in the first pair of power supply terminals in the Ethernet power supply terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the load 130 based on Ethernet power supply; the second positive line in the second pair of power supply terminals in the Ethernet power supply terminal is connected to the first power supply terminal ADP; the first negative line in the first pair of power supply terminals in the Ethernet power supply terminal and the second negative line in the second pair of power supply terminals are connected together and connected to the capacitor C ADP the negative electrode of the auxiliary power supply 300; connecting the positive electrode of the auxiliary power supply 300 to the second power supply terminal VDD and the positive terminal of the load 130; comparing the first voltage at the first power supply terminal ADP with the first predetermined threshold; and outputting a conduction signal to turn on the switch 20 based on the first voltage being greater than the first predetermined threshold, wherein the switch 20 is set at the capacitor C ADP and the negative terminal of the load 130 and is turned on based on the turn-on signal

[0044] Figure 4 A circuit diagram showing the simultaneous powering of POE power supply and auxiliary power supply according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 It is particularly suitable for the situation where POE power supply and auxiliary power supply exist at the same time and the voltage of the auxiliary power supply 300 is relatively large. Figure 4 The embodiment shown is Figure 3 The embodiment shown is similar, except that a second switch 60 may also be provided in parallel with the switch 20. In some embodiments, the second switch 60 may be a diode.

[0045] When the auxiliary power supply output is greater than 38 V, for example, 48 V. When the powered device 100 is operating, the constant current source 50 is connected to the capacitor C ADP Charging, the ADP voltage rises from 0. When the comparator 10 determines that the ADP voltage is less than the Vref1 threshold, the protocol power-on of the controller 110 of the powered device 100 is not affected. After the comparator 10 determines that the ADP voltage exceeds the threshold Vref1, the control unit 40 turns on the switch 20, thereby supplying power to the subsequent load 130. When the comparator 30 determines that the ADP voltage exceeds the threshold Vref2, the control unit 40 turns off the switch 20, so that the switch 20 does not work, and the load can be powered by the auxiliary power supply through the second switch 60. In this case, the power supply power of the load will not be limited by power, and in particular, the full output of the auxiliary power supply can be achieved.
