- This invention relates to communication systems conducting differential data and DC power over a twisted wire pair and, in particular, to a technique using a center tap isolation transformer for coupling DC power to the wire pair.
- Many ways have been disclosed for coupling DC power and differential signals to a twisted wire pair. The DC power is used to power equipment connected to the other end of the wire pair, while the differential data allows the equipment at both ends of the wire pair to communicate with each other. Such a system is sometimes referred to as a Power over Data Lines (PoDL) system.
- The various termination components should present a low differential data insertion loss, a high common mode noise insertion loss, and a high differential mode return loss (incident power/reflected power). US Publication 2018/0026525, assigned to the present assignee, describes various termination techniques and can provide more background information.
FIG. 1 is reproduced from US Publication 2018/0026525. - In
FIG. 1 , a media dependent interface (MDI)connector 160 is coupled to a twisted wire pair (not shown) carrying both differential data and a DC voltage. The coupling for both ends of the PoDL system may be identical, except that the Powered Device side does not have its own power supply. - A
PHY 150 outputs differential data and receives differential data via theMDI connector 160, a common mode choke (CMC) 210, and AC coupling capacitors C1 and C2. TheCMC 210 attenuates common mode RF noise from the wire pair. PHY 150 represents the physical layer in the OSI model and is a transceiver that typically includes signal conditioning and decoding circuitry for presenting bits to the next stage. The term PHY is a term of art and is defined by various IEEE standards, depending on the particular application. The PHY is typically an integrated circuit. A digital processor (not shown) is coupled to thePHY 150 for processing the data. - Since the circuit of
FIG. 1 is on the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) side, DC voltage from apower source 140 is coupled to the wires byseparate inductors 142. Theinductors 142 block AC and pass DC. - The wires from the
MDI connector 160 are terminated by resistors R1 and R2 and capacitors C3 and C4 to minimize reflections. - In a PoDL system, the PHY must be protected from the DC power. Further, common mode RF noise coupled to the wire pair must be attenuated so as not to interfere with the detection of the differential data. It is sometimes desirable to provide DC isolation of the PHY using a transformer to protect the PHY against DC shorts and other conditions, but this adds an additional component and increases size and cost. It is desirable to provide such features without undue loading that would adversely affect the signal integrity of the differential data. It is also desirable to minimize the component count for cost and size.
- What is needed is an improved termination circuit in a PoDL system employing DC isolation of the PHY using a transformer, where the circuit has a low-component count for reducing size and cost, low loading on the PHY, low differential data insertion loss, high common mode noise insertion loss, and high differential mode return loss.
- Various improved termination techniques for a PoDL system are described.
- In one embodiment, the PHY is AC coupled to the wire pair using capacitors. A primary winding of an isolation transformer is coupled across the capacitors for the differential data transmission and reception between PHYs.
- A positive terminal of a DC power supply is coupled to one end of a first secondary winding, and the other end of the first secondary winding is coupled to one of the wires in the wire pair.
- A negative terminal of the DC power supply is coupled to one end of a second secondary winding and the other end of this second secondary winding is coupled to other one of the wires in the wire pair. The power supply is thus connected such that DC current is injected on one wire and returned on the other wire to power equipment connected to the other end of the wire pair. This can be considered a split center tap of the secondary windings.
- Therefore, the power supply conducts DC current through the secondary windings, while the differential data signals also flow through the secondary windings, generating a corresponding differential data signal at the inputs to the PHY. Conversely, transmission from the PHY causes the AC current through the primary winding to generate a differential voltage in the secondary windings that is transmitted by the wire pair.
- The power supply provides a low impedance between its positive and negative terminals so there is low differential mode impedance between the split center tap connections of the transformer.
- A common mode choke (CMC) is connected in series between the wires in the wire pair and the secondary windings to attenuate common mode RF noise on the wire pair. In another embodiment, the CMC is located between the primary winding of the isolation transformer and the PHY. In another embodiment, the CMC is eliminated if the isolation transformer adequately attenuates common mode RF noise.
- An RC termination circuit is also coupled between the wire pair and ground for attenuating noise and providing a suitable termination impedance to minimize reflections.
- The disclosed circuits make multi-use of the isolation transformer by providing DC coupling to the wire pair while the power supply provides a low impedance between its terminals for efficiently conducting the differential signals through the respective secondary windings, and while shunting common mode signals at the secondary terminals of the transformer. Thus, the CMC may be optional. As a result, there is a low component count while there is low loading on the PHY, low differential data insertion loss, high common mode noise insertion loss, and high differential mode return loss.
- The DC power supply is part of the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) side the PoDL system. The other end of the wire pair is coupled to a Powered Device (PD), which may also include a CMC, RC termination, and an isolation transformer. The secondary windings of the PD isolation transformer may have ends coupled between the differential signals and ground, or coupled to ground via a low impedance path in a PD load, since no power supply is used in the PD.

FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art PoDL system. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a first embodiment of a PSE in a PoDL system using an isolation transformer to DC-couple a power supply to the wire pair, provide a low impedance-to-ground termination of secondary windings coupled to conduct the differential signals, and also attenuate common mode noise signals. -
FIG. 3 is a first variation of the PSE ofFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 4 is a second variation of the PSE ofFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 5 is a third variation of the PSE ofFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 6 is a fourth variation of the PSE ofFIG. 2 . - Five embodiments of a termination circuit in a PSE are described which DC-isolate the PHY from the remainder of the system, DC-couple a power supply to a wire pair, attenuate RF common mode noise on the wire pair, and provide excellent insertion and return losses, while having a low component count.
- In
FIG. 2 , Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) 10 supplies DC power to a Powered Device (PD) 12 via atwisted wire pair 14. ThePSE 10 and PD 12 also communicate using differential data, such as Ethernet data. - A
PHY 16 in thePSE 10 represents the physical layer in the OSI model and comprises a transceiver that typically includes signal conditioning and decoding circuitry for presenting bits to the next stage. The term PHY is a term of art and is defined by various IEEE standards, depending on the particular application. The PHY 16 is typically an integrated circuit. A digital processor (not shown) is coupled to thePHY 16 for processing the data. - AC-
coupling capacitors PHY 16, do not attenuate the differential data but block DC. - The other ends of the
capacitors isolation transformer 24. A first secondary winding 26 has one end coupled to aconductor 28 which receives and transmits data signals via thewire 30 in thewire pair 14. The other end of the first secondary winding 26 is coupled to a positive voltage terminal of theDC power supply 32. Thepower supply 32 has a low impedance between its positive and negative terminals so there is a high differential mode return loss and a low differential mode insertion loss. - A second secondary winding 34 has one end coupled to a
conductor 36 which receives and transmits data signals via thewire 38 in thewire pair 14. The other end of the second secondary winding 34 is coupled to a negative voltage terminal of theDC power supply 32. The positive and negative outputs of thepower supply 32 are just relative terms, and the negative voltage may be a system ground. - Note the relative polarities of the various windings by the dot positions. The dots are on opposite ends of the two secondary windings, causing common mode noise on the
wires - Thus, a differential data signal on the
wire pair 14 causes respective currents to flow through thesecondary windings PHY 16. The opposite occurs when thePHY 16 transmits differential data. - A common mode choke (CMC) 40 is connected in series between the
secondary windings wire pair 14. TheCMC 40 is an in-line transformer with two windings in series with thetwisted wire pair 14. As shown by the dots on the CMC windings, the windings have the same polarity, so the magnetic field generated by a differential mode signal is substantially cancelled out. Thus, theCMC 40 presents little inductance or impedance to differential mode currents. Common mode currents, however, see a high impedance due to the combined inductance of the windings. TheCMC 40 ideally eliminates or greatly attenuates common mode RF noise while providing no loss for the differential or DC voltage signals. However, since thetransformer 24 also attenuates common mode noise, theCMC 40 may be optional. - A media dependent interface (MDI)
connector 42 is coupled to thewire pair 14. The wires from theMDI connector 42 are terminated byresistors capacitors - It is common in a PoDL system for a DC power supply to be coupled to the wire pair via a series-connected differential mode choke (DMC). A DMC has windings with opposite polarities (dots on opposite ends) and attenuates differential signals while not attenuating common mode signals or DC power. Such a DMC is not used in the present invention since the
isolation transformer 24 is used to couple theDC power supply 32 to thewire pair 14, as well as conduct the differential data signals. Thus, theisolation transformer 24 provides a DC isolation function for thePHY 16 while conducting the AC differential data signals, while also providing the DC coupling function for thepower supply 32. Further, as shown later, theisolation transformer 24 may obviate the need for theCMC 40. - The
PD 12 may be coupled to thewire pair 14 with a similar termination system, but the ends of the secondary windings in the PD isolation transformer may be directly coupled to a PD load with a low impedance to system ground. Alternatively, the ends of the secondary windings may be coupled to ground, and the PD load receives DC power from thewire pair 14 via DC-coupling inductors. ThePD 12 is fully powered by the DC power from thepower supply 32. - Some benefits of the circuit of
FIG. 2 include: -
- 1. The configuration effectively causes the isolation transformer to include a differential mode choke (DMC) function (to DC-couple the power supply to the wire pair), thus reducing component count for PoDL applications requiring transformer isolation for the PHY.
- 2. The transformer configuration provides a low impedance shunt effect for common mode noise signals (obviating the need for a CMC) thus reducing component count and offering better component utilization.
- 3. The common mode shunt effect reduces the common mode insertion loss requirement of the CMC which, in turn, reduces the open circuit inductance (OCL) requirement.
- 4. By eliminating the differential mode load of a separate DMC on the PHY, a transformer with the minimum OCL can be used. This relaxes the turns and core size requirements of the transformer.
- 5. The transformer also offers a high common mode insertion loss which works in conjunction with the common mode shunt of the secondary windings and the common mode insertion loss of the CMC to further reduce the requirements of the CMC.
- 6. With a large enough common mode insertion loss of the transformer (by reducing parasitics such as interwinding capacitance between primary and secondary windings), the in-line CMC can be eliminated (as shown in
FIG. 4 ).
- Other benefits exist.
-
FIG. 3 is similar toFIG. 2 except that theCMC 40 is moved to the PHY side of thetransformer 24. All the termination components within thebox 54 may be integrated in the same package with theMDI connector 42 to minimize the component count, size, and cost. This applies as well to the components inFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 4 is similar toFIG. 2 except that theCMC 40 is deleted since thetransformer 24 adequately attenuates common mode RF noise. All the termination components inbox 56 may be integrated. The common mode termination components may no longer be relevant since the common mode impedance of thetransformer 24 is very low. - In
FIG. 5 , theCMC 40 is added between the twosecondary terminals capacitor 60 is added between the twosecondary windings 26/34 in order to preserve the low differential mode impedance. The termination resistors and capacitors are now merged into oneRC termination 62 and connected to one of thesecondary windings 34. TheCMC 40 in the path of thepower supply 32 provides a high common mode impedance and preserves the effect of the common mode termination. In an alternative embodiment, theCMC 40 can be replaced by two discrete inductors. The components in thebox 64 can be integrated into an MDI connector as with previous cases. Also, the AC coupling capacitors between the PHY and primary have been removed in this embodiment since thetransformer 24 adequately blocks DC voltage from thePHY 16. -
FIG. 6 is similar toFIG. 5 except for the RC termination. InFIG. 5 , there is a chance that a common mode signal passes through a different impedance on each path. This will introduce a differential mode signal (mode conversion) resulting in imbalance between the two lines.FIG. 6 uses a capacitive divider, comprisingcapacitors secondary windings resistor 70 coupled to ground (or other reference voltage). This balanced configuration prevents mode conversion. The RC termination circuit ofFIG. 6 may be used with any of the other configuration described herein instead of the RC terminations shown inFIGS. 2-5 . - While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects and, therefore, the appended claims are to encompass within their scope all such changes and modifications that are within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
