The NCP1083QBCGEVB is an evaluation board evaluating the NCP1083 high power HIPO Power over Ethernet powered device (PoE PD). The NCP1083 represents a robust, flexible and highly integrated solution targeting demanding medium and high power Ethernet applications. It combines in a single unit an enhanced PoE-PD interface supporting the IEEE 802.3af and the upcoming draft IEEE 802.3at (D3.0) standard and a flexible and configurable DC to DC converter controller. The NCP1083's exceptional capabilities enable applications to smoothly transition from non-PoE to PoE enabled networks by also supporting power from auxiliary sources such as AC power adapters and battery supplies, eliminating the need for a second switching power supply. The NCP1083QBCGEVB implements a PoE module that converts the power from the Ethernet cable to a lower voltage and also supports getting its power from and auxiliary input, in case PoE network is not available.
