For new designs, please consider the PD69208ILQ. PD69008 device is an 8-port, mixed-signal, high voltage Power over Ethernet driver. It enables detection of IEEE802.3af-2003 compliant PDs (Powered Devices) and IEEE802.3AT High Power Devices, thus, ensuring safe power feeding and disconnection of ports. With full digital control via a serial communication interface and a minimum of external components, the device integrates into multiport and highly populated Ethernet switches and routers.
