Abstract
A power-over-Ethernet (PoE) PD/PSE device comprises a powered device (PD) interface configured to connect to an upstream power sourcing equipment (PSE) and receive input PoE power from the PSE, and a PSE interface configured to connect to a downstream PD and to supply output PoE power to the PD. The PD/PSE also comprises a device power rail to supply operational power to one or more components of the PD/PSE, and a DC-DC converter comprising a multi-output transformer comprising a transformer input, a first transformer output electrically connected to the PSE interface, and a second transformer output electrically connected to the device power rail. The DC-DC converter is configured to receive the input PoE power and, in response, supply the input PoE power to the transformer input, generate the output PoE power at the first transformer output, and generate the operational power at the second transformer output.
