2 Quick Start
2.1 Input Power
2.1.1 Input Power (Labeled VPWR)
The DC input voltage is provided through J1 on the motherboard (screw jack). A DC power supply or wall
adapter with sufficient current capacity can power the EVM.
CAUTION
Reverse voltage protection is not provided; ensure that the correct polarity is applied to J1.
This DC input is labeled VPWR in the schematics, is used for port VBUS and for the TPS23882B1 devices. The
VPWR connections to the PoE ports are not fused. Each two-pair port is capable of furnishing at least 30 W.
The minimum PSE port voltage is 44 VDC for type 1 and 50 V for type 2 and type 3. During evaluation, choose
the appropriate DC power supply for different environments.
2.1.2 Local 3.3 V (Labeled 3.3 V)
Local 3.3 V for local devices (labeled as 3.3 V) is provided by the onboard LM5019 buck converter. The LM5019
provides a basic power-on sequence and provides a well-controlled and consistent start-up. In addition to 54 V,
the TPS23882B1 requires 3.3 V for the digital circuitry and this is routed up to TPS23882B1EVM-008 over the
connector interface. The current consumption is 6-mA typical and 12-mA maximum.
2.1.3 External 3.3 V (Labeled 3.3 V_USB)
The BOOST-PSEMTHR8-097 provides galvanic isolation between the PoE power side and host side using
digital isolators (ISO7241CD). The host side power is provided either from J2 of the mother board (from
USB2ANY) or J5 of the motherboard (from MSP-EXP430FR5969).
CAUTION
Do not use USB2ANY and LaunchPad simultaneously.

VPWR Total (8 × 2 Pair Ports) 4835 5512
2.2 PoE Port Interfaces
The TPS23882B1 device must be configured through the host to become operational if the device is
not configured to autonomous mode(described in section 2.4). This EVM provides 2 ways to control the
TPS23882B1: TPS238x EVM GUI (with USB2ANY) and Basic Reference Code (with MSP-EXP430FR5969
LaunchPad).
2.2.1 IEEE802.3bt 2-Pair Ports
Eight 2-pair ports are provided at J19, J20, J8, J7, J32, J33, J21, and J9 of the motherboard for 2-pair ports 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 respectively. The power furnished is according to alternative A with MDI-X polarity.
2.3 I2C Interfaces
Two I2C interfaces to the TPS23882B1 are provided on the EVM.
2.3.1 USB2ANY
J2 of the motherboard provides an interface with the USB2ANY adapter when using a PC and GUI.

2.3.2 MSP-EXP430FR5969
J3, J4, and J5 of the motherboard provide an interface with the MSP-EXP430FR5969 when using a PC to
develop custom system software.
2.4 Basic Test Setup Using Autonomous Mode
The TPS23882B1 supports autonomous mode which means it can operate without any host control. During
power up the resistance on the AUTO pin is measured and the device is pre-configured according to the
jumper configuration on J5 of the daughterboard. All ports are configured with the same power level. Due to
the hardware configuration on the motherboard, all 2-pair ports are interoperable with PDs. Only 2P-15W and
2P-30W are valid selections on the TPS23882B1EVM-008 as the other resistors are not populated.
To test with autonomous mode, install a jumper on the pins of J5 corresponding to the desired power level and
power on the board without the USB2ANY or MSP-EXP430FR5969 connected. Figure 2-1 illustrates the basic
setup using autonomous mode.

4.2 TPS23882B1GUI Operation
Start the TPS23882B1 GUI by double clicking the GUI icon. A window similar to Figure 4-1 will come up.
Figure 4-1. TPS23882B1 GUI Startup Window
The default device address in the GUI is set to 0x20 which matches the default configuration of the EVM (J4 on
the daughter card is installed with jumpers). The GUI sets the TPS23882B1 in configuration B mode (see the
GENERAL MASK Register section of the data sheet for details). The address can be programed through the
A1 to A4 pins and the I2C address setting in the GUI needs to match the hardware configuration. See the Pin
Status Register section of the data sheet for details. The startup page contains links to the EVM user's guide,
TPS23882B1 data sheet, E2E forum and MSP430 reference code. Four popular PD end-equipment images are
connected to the PSE switch. Links to the recommended PD device for each end equipment are also provided.
Once the TPS23882B1 device is connected, click Firmware to select firmware to be loaded to TPS23882B1.

Clicking the SET ALL PORTS TO STANDARD button sets all port to standard configurations (configuring ports in
Semi-Auto mode, enabling OSS, power policing, and DC disconnect). Clicking the SET ALL PORTS TO AUTO
MODE button enables Auto Mode for all ports.
The status of each port is shown on the configuration and telemetry page. The configuration of the ports can also
be edited on this page by clicking the RJ45 connector.
If the port is configured in Auto Mode, the port will turn on automatically by the PSE device after connecting a
valid PD. If not configured in Auto Mode, a port enable command is required. The port can be turned on only
when the PD has valid detection and classification results.

4.3 MSP-EXP430FR5969 Details
The TPS23882B1 accepts the MSP-EXP430FR5969 evaluation module when the application requires
management of the TPS23882B1 devices with an external controller.
1. Install MSP-EXP430FR5969 onto BOOST-PSEMTHR8-097 and ensure that the USB2ANY ribbon cable is
NOT installed into J2.
2. Connect the PC to the LaunchPad as shown in Figure 2-3.
3. The source code was developed for the MSP430 LaunchPad Development Kit (MSP-EXP430GFR5969)
using the Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) version 7.2.0 development environment. The target MSP430 can
be programmed within this environment.
4. Once CCS is installed, use the basic set of instructions listed in Section 4.3.1 to import, build, and run
the project. CCS version 7.2.0 is used in the following examples. Note that a terminal program such as
HyperTerminal or Teraterm is required to view the output from the EVM when it is running.
4.3.1 Basic CCS and Terminal Setup
Use the following steps for basic CCS and terminal setup:
1. Launch the CCS program on the PC: Start → Texas Instruments → Code Composer Studio 7.2.0 → Code
Composer Studio 7.2.0.
2. OK the workspace location and CCS starts.
3. Import the project: Project→ Import CCS Projects (make sure you are in CCS Edit mode).
4. Navigate to the project location, then click the Finish button.
5. Build the project by clicking the hammer symbol. Semi-Auto or Auto mode can be switched selected using
the drop-down arrow to the right of the hammer symbol.
6. Launch the debug session from CCS to activate the current project: Run, Debug (or F11).
7. Run the active project: Run, Resume (or play button, F8).
8. Determine the PC COM port connected to the LaunchPad by going into the Device Manager Ports (COM
and LPT) section. Launch the terminal program.
9. Once the terminal program is properly connected to the LaunchPad running the PoE firmware, then text
similar to the following image appears.

4.4 MSP430 Reference Code
4.4.1 Overview
There is MSP430 reference code for basic applications published on ti.com. This reference code will be
discussed in the following sections.
The system software supports the following features:
• IEEE802.3bt PoE specification
• Device detection, connection check, and classification
• Automatic power on (standard 2-pair PDs)
• DC disconnect
• Port telemetry updates
The MSP430 communicates with the PC through UART, reporting the parameter and status of the port.
4.4.2 Auto Mode
Auto mode operation is demonstrated in the MSP430 reference code and Figure 4-8 shows the flow chart.
Basically, after configuration, the TPS23882B1 handles port detection, classification, turn on, and faults by itself
and there is no control needed from the host.
