UG442: Non-Isolated Buck Evaluation
Board for the Si3406
The Si3406 non-isolated Buck evaluation board is a reference de-
sign for a power supply in a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered
Device (PD) application.
This Si3406-Buck EVB provides simple and low-cost solution with different output vol-
tages and power levels.
The Si3406-Buck-5V EVB board is shown below. The Si3406 IC integrates an IEEE
802.03at compatible PoE interface as well as a current control-based dc/dc converter.
The Si3406 PD integrates an internal rectifier bridge, detection circuit, classification cir-
cuit, dc/dc switch, hotswap switch, TVS overvoltage protection, dynamic soft-start circuit,
cycle-by-cycle current limit, thermal shutdown, and inrush current protection.
The switching frequency is set to 220 kHz by installing R10 = 88.7 k
Ω.

1. Selector Guide
The minimum possible output voltage of this evaluation board is 3.3 V, the maximum possible output voltage is 24 V.
This user guide presents 4 different output voltages: 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V and 24 V.
The maximum power is 7 W and limited by the internal rectifier bridge, while the efficiency of the EVB highly depends on the output
voltage. Higher output voltage configurations tend to have higher efficiency, meanwhile, lower output voltage configurations have lower
efficiency.

2. Powering up the Si3406-Buck Board
Ethernet data and power are applied to the board through the RJ45 connector (J1). The board itself has no Ethernet data transmission
functionality, but, as a convenience, the Ethernet with secondary-side data is brought out to test points.
The design can be used in Gigabit (10/100/1000) systems as well by using PoE RJ45 Magjack, such as type L8BE-1G1T-BFH from Bel
Fuse.
Power may be applied in the following ways:
• Using an any IEEE 802.3-2015-compliant, PoE-capable PSE, or
• Using a laboratory power supply unit (PSU):
• Connecting a dc source between blue/white-blue and brown/white-brown of the Ethernet cable (either polarity), (End-span) as
shown below:

4.5 Adjustable EVB Current Limit
For additional safety, the Si3406 has an adjustable EVB current limit feature.
The
Si3406 controller measures the voltage on the RSENSE resistor (R7) through the ISNS pin. Care must be taken that this voltage
goes below V
SS
. When the voltage on R7 is V
ISNS
= –270 mV (referenced to V
SS
), the internal current limit circuit restarts the PD to
protect the application.
The EVB current limit for this Class 2 application can be calculated with the following formula:
R
S
ENSE
= 1.2Ω

4.6 Feedback Loop Phase and Gain Measurement Results (Bode Plots)
The
Si3406 device integrates a current-mode-controlled switching mode power supply controller circuit. Therefore, the application is a
closed-loop system. To guarantee stable output voltage of the power supply and to reduce the influence of the input voltage variations
and load changes on the output voltage, the feedback loop should be stable.
To verify the stability of the loop, the gain and phase of the loop have been measured.

4.9 Soft-Start Protection
The
Si3406 device has an integrated dynamic soft-start protection mechanism to avoid stressing the components by the sudden current
or voltage changes associated with the initial charging of the output capacitors.
The Si3406 intelligent adaptive soft-start mechanism does not require any external component to install. The controller continuously
measures the input current of the PD and dynamically adjusts the internal I
PEAK
limit during soft-start, that way adjusting the output
voltage ramping up time in a function of the attached load.
The controller lets the output voltage to rise faster in no load (or light load) condition. With heavy load at the output, the controller slows
down the output voltage ramp to avoid exceeding the desired regulated output voltage value.
