The EV8020-QV-00A evaluation board is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MP8020, an IEEE 802.3af/at/bt-compliant, Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD).

The MP8020 provides a configurable inrush current limit during start-up and an operation current limit during normal operation. A GATE1 driver supports an external MOSFET for higher efficiency under heavy loads. A high power good (PG) signal enables the downstream DC/DC converter.

An auxiliary power input detector (AUX) and GATE2 driver allow a a wall adapter to be used with low power loss. The MP8020 also features a built-in detection resistor, thermal protection, and a wide input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) hysteresis.

The MP8020 is available in a QFN-18 (3mmx5mm) package.
