TIDA-00290, PoE PSE Type 2 (30W) IEEE 802.3at Fully Autonomous Quad Port Solution

TIDA-00290, A fully autonomous IEEE802.3at, Type 2 (30W) Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) 4 Port Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) solution. An additional configuration of two non-standard, high power ports (<60W) is provided. Both configurations support Gigabit Ethernet data pass through in 1000BASE-T ports. This reference design is made up of two boards is Motherboard (TPS23861EVM-612) and Daughter board (TPS23861EVM-613). The daughter board features two TPS23861 IEEE 802.3at PoE PSE controller devices. The motherboard provides a multi-port base platform interface for the daughter board. Additionally, the motherboard provides interfaces for two optional boards is MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad (if custom Power Management programmability is desired) and USB-TO-GPIO Interface Adapter (if PC GUI based Power Management configuration is desired)
