Abstract
A power sourcing equipment (PSE) chip, and a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device and method are provided, which can determine a status that a peer end is connected to a powered device (PD) when four cable pairs are used to supply power. The PSE chip includes a channel controller, a first channel detector, and a second channel detector. The channel controller sends detection voltages along a first and a second groups of cable pairs in an Ethernet twisted pair; determines a first impedance and a second impedance according to the detection voltages and corresponding currents that are detected; and determines that a first group or a second group of cable pairs is connected to a valid PD according to the impedances and a preset range.
