This video series covers:

• Automotive Transient standards and TI solutions
• Purpose and goals of standards
• Questions to ask in product development
• How to find right TI solutions and support
• How to identify opportunities and to provide alternative solutions

In this training series you will learn more about the TPS23861 PSE controller in combination with the MSP430 reference code for power port management.

Power over Ethernet technology (PoE) is an ubiquitous technology for powering Ethernet connected end equipments that may typically require licensed personnel to install, such as connected lighting, wireless access points, 5G remote radio units and more. As a standard-driven IC technology, suppliers can rest easy that IEEE 802.3 compliant portfolios offer solutions at both the source and input to loads that are fully interoperable and include many features to empower greater flexibility and reliability.

In this video, you will learn more about:

• the TPS23861 PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) controller
• the three operating modes for the TPS23861
• when you need to use the MSP430 reference code
• how to get started

In this video, you will learn more about:

• the features implemented and high-level architecture of the reference code
• the definition and archteciture of port power management
• how to test and modify the reference code

If you are brand new to PoE, we recommend watching all four videos at your own pace for a complete overview. If you’re more experienced with the technology and just need a refresher on various concepts, jump right into the topic that meets your needs. Or consider watching our more advanced series below on all things related to the IEEE 802.3bt design.

The new IEEE 802.3bt standard has introduced the capability for designers to utilize PoE for high-power applications (up to 90W at source and 71.3 at input). The below videos provide insights into whether the .bt standard is right for you, but if you’re already evaluating or compliant to .bt, we’ve also shared resources to help you navigate working with non-standard PD types, response to power demotion events and more.

The Ethernet ecosystem is evolving with the introduction of the IEEE 802.3bt standard. Regardless if you’re an expert in PoE or just getting introduced to the technology, the below trainings provide a good starting point for understanding how TI’s portfolio of 802.3bt Powered Devices (PDs) and Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) Controllers can be used in traditional and emerging Ethernet applications.
