Patent number: 10652050Abstract: A PoDL system conducts differential data and DC power over the same wire pair, and various DC coupling techniques are described that improve DC voltage coupling while attenuating AC common mode noise. Pairs of differential mode chokes (DMCs) are used to share current supplied by a power supply. In one embodiment, one DMC is coupled to the line side of a common mode choke (CMC), and one DMC is coupled to the PHY side of the CMC. The line-side DMC has windings that are loosely magnetically coupled so that DMC does not present a very low impedance to AC common mode noise on the wires. Therefore, the performance of the wires' RC termination circuitry is not adversely affected by the line-side DMC when minimizing reflections of common mode signals. The DMCs may use the same magnetic core, and the CMC may be series CMCs that used the same magnetic core.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Linear Technology Holding LLCInventor: Gitesh Bhagwat
