EVAL-10BT1L-MCS IEEE 802.3cg SPoE Shield User Guide

10BASE-TX to 10BASE-T1L media converter shield for IEEE 802.3cg SPoE applications using ADIN1100 and ADIN1200 PHYs.

View design document

Overview

The EVAL-10BT1L-MCS is a media converter shield designed for IEEE 802.3cg Single-Pair Power over Ethernet (SPoE). It facilitates data conversion between traditional 10BASE-TX 4-pair Ethernet and 10BASE-T1L single-pair Ethernet. The shield is available in two versions: the MCS-AZ for Class 10 to 14 power levels (up to 20W) and the MCS-BZ for Class 15 power levels (up to 52W). Core components include the ADIN1100 10BASE-T1L PHY and the ADIN1200 10BASE-TX PHY, which interface via RMII. Power management is handled by an on-board LT8301 isolated flyback converter providing 3.3V, while an ADuM1251 provides isolation for the MDIO management interface.

Use Cases

  • Industrial Ethernet networking
  • SPoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) evaluation
  • Powered Device (PD) development
  • 10BASE-T1L long-reach communication systems
  • Media conversion between legacy Ethernet and Single-Pair Ethernet

MSD1278T-224KLB

Referenced Parts

MSD1278T-224KLB

Coilcraft

By default, the shield uses the Coilcraft MSD1278T-224KLB. This inductor features an inductance of 220μH

SP3051-04HTG

Littelfuse

optional SP3051-04HTG TVS diode array is available at D1 and D5.

1803280

Phoenix Contact

Connector J5 of the shield is a Phoenix Contact (1803280) 3-position, terminal block header

1803581

Phoenix Contact

Connector J5 mates with the Phoenix Contact 1803581, 3-position, screw terminal, female

SMAJ54CA

Littelfuse

If more robust surge protection is desired, the SMAJ54CA bidirectional TVS on D7 can be installed.

ADIN1100

Analog Devices

The shield includes the ADIN1100, 10BASE-T1L PHY

ADIN1200

Analog Devices

the ADIN1200, 10BASE-TX PHY, which provide the Ethernet data media conversion in the system.

ADuM1251

Analog Devices

subsequently electrically isolated through the ADUM1251 isolator.

LT8301

Analog Devices

The on-board LT8301, isolated flyback converter, provides an isolated 3.3V power source to the PHYs.

LTC4296-1

Analog Devices

GND is the common ground for SPoE and originates from the motherboard it is installed on, either from the LTC4296-1 or the LTC9111.

LTC9111

Analog Devices

The LTC9111 measures its port voltage by default at the input of SPoE PD motherboards

MSD1048H-104

Coilcraft

on the other hand, if transmission droop is not a priority, the MSD1048H-104 inductor can be used (100μH).

MSD1278H-474KED

Coilcraft

if better transmission droop is required, the MSD1278H-474KED with an inductance value of 470μH can be used.

ICI70CGI-222N

TDK

The isolated coupled inductor from TDK, ICI70CGI-222N, is used to provide the isolation between the PHY and the PI on both shields.

7498011211

Wurth Elektronik

connected with a traditional CAT5 Ethernet cable to the Wurth Elektronic 7498011211 RJ45 magjack at J4.

D55V0M1B2WSQ-7

Diodes Inc.

Surge protection at the power interface is handled with the D55V0M1B2WSQ-7 bidirectional TVS diode on D6.
