  • NETWORK DEVICE FOR SUPPLYING POWER OVER NETWORK AND OPERATION METHOD OF THE SAME
    Publication number: 20180074563
    Abstract: A network device that includes a power source device (PSE) circuit, a MOS switch, a network connector and a detection unit is provided. The network connector has a first and a second terminal electrically coupled to the voltage source and to the ground terminal through the MOS switch respectively. Under the condition that the PSE circuit is not activated, the detection unit detects a first non-zero voltage pulse at the second terminal to determine that a powered device is attached to the network connector to activate the PSE circuit to generate and transfer the power to the powered device through the network connector. Under the condition that the PSE circuit is activated, the detection unit detects a second non-zero voltage pulse at the second terminal to determine that the powered device is detached from the network connector to deactivate the PSE circuit to stop generating the power.
