  • Power control of powered devices in a system with power over the ethernet
    Patent number: 11689377
    Abstract: A powered device interface includes a supply sensing circuit, a demand sensing circuit, and a control circuit. The supply sensing circuit is configured to sense an amount of power received by the powered device from at least one power source equipment over an ethernet cable. The demand sensing circuit is configured to sense a power demand requested by the powered device. The control circuit is coupled with the supply sensing circuit and the demand sensing circuit and is configured to cause the power demand requested by the powered device to be reduced when the power demand requested by the powered device exceeds the amount of power allowed by the power source equipment for the powered device.
