    I added a couple of pix to the folder.

    The so8 ic is an Onsemi STX9B, but I haven't been able to track down a
    data sheet.

    I've been doing my own PoE experimemts and so far nothing makes sense.

    Probably something like this

    https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/ncp1090-d.pdf

    Or this

    https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/TPS2375

    Or one of the other devices on this page.

    https://www.ti.com/power-management/power-over-ethernet-poe/products.html#sort=2955;asc&

    The smaller device is likely the DC-DC


    I've been doing my own PoE experimemts and so far nothing makes sense.

    What's not making sense?

    The x-rays are fun, but are admittedly more useful for an opaque
    potted module or an IC or discrete semi. I can prety well trace the
    Silvertel without them.

    I have a gigantic scary Carribean guy who does the xrays and I wanted
    an excuse for taking him to lunch, which turned into an interesting
    hike around The Bernal Cut. He trashed the xray system software, and
    had to rebuild it, and now it can do movies, which is great.

    I'd like to have some products that can be powered by PoE or a wart,
    and may want to put two 24-volt PoE supplies in series to get 48, so I
    need to understand how they work. The xrays just help a bit.

    (When burials were outlawed in San Francisco, a railroad was
    constructed to Colma for all the dead bodies and headstones. That
    forced the Bernal Cut to be dug with people and mules. Colma now has
    more dead people than live ones. Some parts of San Francisco are paved
    with old headstones that nobody wanted to pay to ship. https://www.bernalcut.org/ )

    John Larkin won't.

    Medical people do. It's called cine-angiography.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

    When I got my aortic valve replacement, part of the work-up was a cine-angiogram of my coronary arteries, looking for incipient blockages.

    They found a little bit of plaque, but not enough to be worth taking out
    when they did the aortic valve. My younger brother was less lucky - his
    aortic valve was fine, but he had minor coronary and his coronary
    arteries needed quite a bit of work, but that was fifteen years ago and
    they've been fine since then.

    How did you inform the PD of the fact that it was no longer
    dependant on (and controllable by) the PSE? Or, did you forego
    in-band reconfiguration and power control?

    It wasn't necessary for the fairly specialized product which was configured at install time with power from PoE or wart but not
    both.
    I seem to recall at least one accidental connection of both with no detrimental effect but it wasn't investigated further.


    These days I'd look at MP8017

    I'm experimenting with integrating the PSE & PD functionalities
    to better "tune" the system to available power.

    I've seen a problem when the PoE module had a TL431 + optocoupler at it's output as feedback circuit.
    A limiting resistor was lacking, and +12.3V from a wart turned the TL431 fully on and destroyed the optocoupler.
    Subsequent PoE operation then had an open loop and destroyed the supplied circuit.

    I'd probably include an additional schottky diode to protect the TLV431, assuming the small power loss is acceptable.
    Also a schottky in series with the wart power.
    And maybe a FET to turn on a light load for the PoE when wart power is present.

    I seem to recall at least one accidental connection of both with no detrimental effect but it wasn't investigated further.

    One of the benefits of PoE (IMHO) is that it allows the PD to
    be power cycled, remotely (instead of forcing the user to
    power the device off and.or disconnect it from the network).

    In-band power control also lets it renegotiate its operating
    class. E.g., I often downgrade devices to Class 1 if the I/Os
    aren't strictly necessary. And, "off" with just a little
    power to keep the PoE interface "operational" so it can
    pretend to be "replugged" (without having to truly unplug
    and replug to reinitiate the power negotiation.

    If the device *thinks* it is going to be powered off -- and
    brings itself to a "safe" state before the PSE removes
    power -- but then finds itself still powered *on* (even though
    the PSE has dropped the load) things can get confusing...
    should I now *assume* I'm a class 3 device? Or, higher??
    (after all, with local power, I can pretend I am PoE+!)

    you can probably see the traces just like that?

    The x-rays are fun, but are admittedly more useful for an opaque
    potted module or an IC or discrete semi. I can prety well trace the
    Silvertel without them.

    I have a gigantic scary Carribean guy who does the xrays and I wanted
    an excuse for taking him to lunch, which turned into an interesting
    hike around The Bernal Cut. He trashed the xray system software, and
    had to rebuild it, and now it can do movies, which is great.

    I'd like to have some products that can be powered by PoE or a wart,
    and may want to put two 24-volt PoE supplies in series to get 48, so I
    need to understand how they work. The xrays just help a bit.

    If Ag9900 just works then why would you care how?

    Can I overpower it with a wart? Does that need another diode?

    Can I run two 24v Silvertels in series to get 48?

    And I do care how things are designed.

    A seperate smaller schottky and capacitor for just the TLV431 seems to work fine in the LTC4267 simulation I just did and works
    around wall wart power getting connected to the TLV431.

    To disconnect wart power when PoE is operating, put a low power voltage doubler on the transformer secondary and use the 24V to
    swich off a p-fet in series with wart power.

    Subsequent PoE operation then had an open loop and destroyed the supplied circuit.

    A seperate smaller schottky and capacitor for just the TLV431 seems to work fine in the LTC4267 simulation I just did and works
    around wall wart power getting connected to the TLV431.

    To disconnect wart power when PoE is operating, put a low power voltage doubler on the transformer secondary and use the 24V to
    swich off a p-fet in series with wart power.

    Way too complex. A series resistor between TL431 and optocoupler was all that was needed.

    Cannot make out much from those x-rays, pictures are better...
    you can probably see the traces just like that?

    The x-rays are fun, but are admittedly more useful for an opaque
    potted module or an IC or discrete semi. I can prety well trace the >>Silvertel without them.

    I have a gigantic scary Carribean guy who does the xrays and I wanted
    an excuse for taking him to lunch, which turned into an interesting
    hike around The Bernal Cut. He trashed the xray system software, and
    had to rebuild it, and now it can do movies, which is great.

    I'd like to have some products that can be powered by PoE or a wart,
    and may want to put two 24-volt PoE supplies in series to get 48, so I
    need to understand how they work. The xrays just help a bit.

    (When burials were outlawed in San Francisco, a railroad was
    constructed to Colma for all the dead bodies and headstones. That
    forced the Bernal Cut to be dug with people and mules. Colma now has
    more dead people than live ones. Some parts of San Francisco are paved
    with old headstones that nobody wanted to pay to ship. >>https://www.bernalcut.org/ )

    Found it with google maps...
    Do you make Xray movies of living things?


    I guess we could. All sorts of objects.

    I'd like to do one of my hands, which I think has a foreign object
    inside, but the machine is too heavily interlocked.

    I had an uncle who got a foot xray for arthritis and they saw a small
    nail inside his toe. He had no idea how it got there.

    How did you inform the PD of the fact that it was no longer

    in-band reconfiguration and power control?

    It wasn't necessary for the fairly specialized product which was configured at install time with power from PoE or wart but not
    both.
    I seem to recall at least one accidental connection of both with no detrimental effect but it wasn't investigated further.

    Depends on whether you can fully reverse engineer an Ag9900, in which case you might either be satisfied or horrified.

    I don't see why not since the data sheet says isolated.
    It shouldn't be hard to verify that.

    Batteries are isolated, but a series string can destroy one cell by back-biasing it.

    Some power supplies will latch up, or not start up, in series with
    others. Lots of suplies won't start (and may fail) if their input is
    pulled negative.

    As the number of items in a design increases, the probability of some
    stupid error approaches unity. It's usually time efficient to be super careful, as opposed to spinning a few PCB revs.


    Why do you need 48V ?

    One of these will produce 48V or near enough, but not isolated of course.

    https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/TPS2375

    I've just finished simulating a 12V 13W converter using an LTC4267 and 12V wall wart (simulated as 12V with series schottky) with
    automatic changeover between PoE and wall wart, whichever is avaiable. If both are available, PoE is used.

    Making it 48V shouldn't be hard, but may require a custom transformer.

    Would be nice to have a simulation model of MP8017.

    another negotiating with the PoE switch.

    So I guess customers need to have a 48v wart if they want 42 volt
    outputs.

    It ocurred to me that if I use two Silvertels with outputs in series,
    their inputs have to be in parallel. They will probably confuse one
    another negotiating with the PoE switch.

    Each one would have to be connected to an independent PoE switch port.

    You're not thinking of connecting two of them to the same port are you?

    I'd consider not using the Silvertel things at all but it may come down to economics rather than electronics.


    So I guess customers need to have a 48v wart if they want 42 volt
    outputs.

    42? Is that a typo?

    Can I overpower it with a wart? Does that need another diode?

    Maybe. See other discussion in this thread.


    Can I run two 24v Silvertels in series to get 48?

    I don't see why not since the data sheet says isolated.
    It shouldn't be hard to verify that.

    Batteries are isolated, but a series string can destroy one cell by
    back-biasing it.

    Why do you need 48V ?

    To drive loads! To sell more power supplies!

    If that's the spec then good luck.

    The spec is anything I want it to be. We are considering
    posssibilities and will have a hard schematic in a couple of weeks.
    Some confusion is beneficial in early design stages.




    It ocurred to me that if I use two Silvertels with outputs in series,
    their inputs have to be in parallel. They will probably confuse one
    another negotiating with the PoE switch.

    Each one would have to be connected to an independent PoE switch port.

    You're not thinking of connecting two of them to the same port are you?

    The box will only have one RJ45.

    You are very snarky.

    Didn't someone else mention that word here recently?
    Actually I'm just trying to figure out what you're trying to do with PoE.

    Ag7100 will turn 24V into isolated 48V but I don't see why you would want to use PoE to power equipment needing 48V.



    I'd consider not using the Silvertel things at all but it may come down to economics rather than electronics.

    They are under $10, not worth the engineering to save a few dollars.
    Even with a heap of engineering, it would be hard to beat $10.

    Time to market is worth a lot too.



    So I guess customers need to have a 48v wart if they want 42 volt
    outputs.

    42? Is that a typo?

    No.





    42 is a resonable upper limit spec, given all the tolerances and
    losses and range of loads.

    I want to get to at least, say, 38ish to simulate aircraft DC power,
    which is in theory 32 max.

    (When burials were outlawed in San Francisco, a railroad was

    Found it with google maps...
    Do you make Xray movies of living things?


    I guess we could. All sorts of objects.

    I'd like to do one of my hands, which I think has a foreign object
    inside, but the machine is too heavily interlocked.

    I had an uncle who got a foot xray for arthritis and they saw a small
    nail inside his toe. He had no idea how it got there.

    I had a relative who was a doctor, he had xray equipment
    aa a kid I was staying there and asked if I could make an x-ray from my hand. He objected first, told me too much xray radiation was harmfull,
    but then let me xray my hand once and look at it at a big scintilation screen. normally it would be used to x-ray people.
    My hands still work and have not fallen off yet.
    So anyways, be careful with the amount of radiation when experimenting.

    What's wrong with designing with normal components and adding a known micro?
    My bench powersupply takes 12 V wall wart in, output adjustable 0-24 or so
    https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/pic/pwr_pic/
    circuit, its simple :-)
    https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/pic/pwr_pic/power_box_diagram_img_1817.jpg
    it has cycle by cycle current limit, and uses a hysteretic type voltage control, resulting in a short circuit - and overload protected design with good stability.
    You can add stuff to protect against reverse voltages if you like.

    Oh well, cmplexity LOL

    Confusion is never beneficial. Indecision is a necessary part of the

    do have to understand all the elements you are trying to pull together
    before you can make the choices about about how you pull them together.

    Can I overpower it with a wart? Does that need another diode?

    Maybe. See other discussion in this thread.


    Can I run two 24v Silvertels in series to get 48?

    I don't see why not since the data sheet says isolated.

    Why do you need 48V ?

    To drive loads! To sell more power supplies!

    If that's the spec then good luck.

    The spec is anything I want it to be. We are considering
    posssibilities and will have a hard schematic in a couple of weeks.
    Some confusion is beneficial in early design stages.




    It ocurred to me that if I use two Silvertels with outputs in series,
    their inputs have to be in parallel. They will probably confuse one
    another negotiating with the PoE switch.

    Each one would have to be connected to an independent PoE switch port.

    You're not thinking of connecting two of them to the same port are you?

    The box will only have one RJ45.

    You are very snarky.

    Didn't someone else mention that word here recently?
    Actually I'm just trying to figure out what you're trying to do with PoE.

    Create a product line of aerospace instrumentation, small boxes that
    can be placed right next to loads or motors or sensors and need only a
    cat5 cable for power and computer interface.

    The current practice is to put a PXIe or VME crate in a rack and
    interface it to a computer (maybe $10K) and then buy modules and then
    design and buy fabulously expensive custom cables out to the field.
    Tha cables can cost more than the things that they connect. And rack
    space is often very valuable.

    The power supply module is just the test bed for the first box in the
    family. Most modules would only need a few watts, but this one allows
    some thermal characterization too.

    We're about to go public with the concept. Wanna see the intro?


    Ag7100 will turn 24V into isolated 48V

    That's not a PoE pickoff. I guess we could get 24 volts from PoE and
    boost that up to 48, maybe with some different brick, but the hassle
    and cost accumulate. If a user needs more than 20 volts output or so,
    they may have to buy a 48v wart. Higher voltage warts are common
    nowadays.

    but I don't see why you would want to use PoE to power equipment needing 48V.

    Customers might appreciate it and buy some.

    Non isolated 48V is easy but if you want it isolated then I think it's either a custom design or two modules.

    If I wanted 5V or 12V at only a few watts in a custom design I'd likely go with:

    For other volts I'd look into a custom transformer.

    If Ag9900 just works then why would you care how?

    Can I overpower it with a wart? Does that need another diode?

    Maybe. See other discussion in this thread.


    Can I run two 24v Silvertels in series to get 48?

    I don't see why not since the data sheet says isolated.
    It shouldn't be hard to verify that.

    Batteries are isolated, but a series string can destroy one cell by
    back-biasing it.

    Some power supplies will latch up, or not start up, in series with
    others. Lots of suplies won't start (and may fail) if their input is
    pulled negative.

    As the number of items in a design increases, the probability of some
    stupid error approaches unity. It's usually time efficient to be super
    careful, as opposed to spinning a few PCB revs.

    Why always some XXXchip?
    What's wrong with designing with normal components and adding a known micro?

    That's exactly what I'm doing. Stock parts and an RP2040 CPU chip.

    There are *so many* Raspberry Pi kids out there!

    Now if I could build the hardware part of the product with Legos...




    Over the past 30-odd years, various people have come up with the idea of
    using legos for optomechanics.

    Then they go away for a summer weekend and return to find that their gizmos
    are completely misaligned due to stress relaxation in the plastic.

    Cheers
