Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a revolutionary technology that enables delivery of power over standard Ethernet infrastructure to facilitate quick and easy installation of WLAN access points, network cameras, IP telephones and other IP-based devices. The proliferation of Ethernet-connected devices such as Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) security cameras, 802.11ac and 802.11ax access points, LED luminaires and Internet of Things (IoT) appliances has created an unprecedented demand for more power. PoE is the key to efficiently, cost-effectively and reliably power network devices.
Microchip is an innovator and thought leader in PoE technology, as well as a major contributor to the IEEE® 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt standards.
We offer a comprehensive end-to-end portfolio of PoE solutions comprised of PoE ICs and PoE systems (PoE midspans/injectors and switches). As both a system and chipset supplier, we provide foolproof PoE solutions to address your unique business requirements.
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) ICs that offer the highest integration level and lowest total BOM cost to meet the high power needs of 2-pair and 4-pair PDs
Cost-effective, pre-programmed PoE controller designed to be implemented in conjunction with enhanced-mode PSE managers
Powered Device (PD) ICs with and without integrated Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) controllers as compact solutions for converting PoE input power into one or more output voltages
IdealBridge™ dual-pack MOSFET-based full-bridge rectifier that protects against reverse-polarity connections while reducing power consumption and space requirements and improving thermal performance
Single- and multi-port PoE midspans/injectors and switches that enable seamless deployment of PoE technology to Ethernet-based devices in indoor, outdoor and industrial environments
Stand-alone, fully-tested, qualified and certified PoE systems
Available off-the-shelf and ready to install for zero time to market in the most demanding environments
Interoperable with existing devices; no R&D resources needed
We provide PoE infrastructure including PoE midspans/injectors and switches to reliably power IP cameras in surveillance systems while addressing the key challenges and constraints. Our PoE portfolio contains the right solution for your application. We have options for:
Discover how to power your Ethernet-based applications with Microchip multi-Power over Ethernet (mPoE) technology. An excellent solution for traditional network devices such as IP phones, Wireless Access Points (WAPs) and IP surveillance cameras, as well as 5G small cells, LoRa® gateways, LED luminaires, access control terminals and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices, this technology also enables backward compatibility with pre-standard devices while supporting all IEEE® PoE standards.
