The PD70210/PD70211 represents the only solution available in the market that is compliant with Power-over-HDBaseT (PoH) and receives up to 95 watts using an internal field-effect transistor (FET).
The device enables wider reach for PoE communications applications including outdoor IP cameras, small cells, thin clients and monitors.
According to market research firm Infonetics, the small cell market is expected to reach US$331 million by the end of 2012, with an expected compound annual growth rate, or CAGR of 62% to US$2.3 billion in 2016.
Microsemi's new device is compatible with its PD-960x midspan family to provide a complete end-to-end HDBaseT solution.
Unlike the non-standard alternatives, PoH has the same safety mechanisms of IEEE802.3at-2009, with detection performed separately on data and spare pairs, ensuring interoperability.
Its front-end PD IC is compliant with IEEE802.3af, IEEE802.3at and HDBaseT standards and power is provided using HDBaseT or other two-pair/four-pair configurations. As the first solution of its kind, the device supports 95W in one IC with internal FET and operates at high efficiency levels.
