2.1.2 Port Power Control Using a Poly Fuse
When using theLAN9514 with a poly fuse, an external diode must be used (See Figure 2.3). When
disabling port power, the driver will drive a ‘0’. This procedure will have no effect since the external
diode will isolate the pin from the load. When port power is enabled, the output driver is disabled and
the pull-up resistor is enabled, which creates an open drain output. This means that the pull-up resistor
is providing 3.3 volts to the anode of the diode. If there is an over-current situation, the poly fuse will
open. This will cause the cathode of the diode to go to 0 volts. The anode of the diode will be at 0.7
volts, and the Schmidt trigger input will register this as a low, resulting in an overcurrent detection. The
open drain output does not interfere.
