  Advanced Topology USB Battery Charger Optimizes Power
  Utilization for Faster Charging – Design Note 336
  John Shannon
  Linear Technology offers a variety of parts to simplify
  the task of extracting power from a USB cable, including
  the new, easy-to-use LTCВ®4055 high performance Li-Ion
  charger and power controller. The LTC4055 seamlessly
  manages power flow between an AC adapter, USB cable
  and Li-Ion battery, all while maintaining USB power
  specification compliance.
  Thanks to its sophisticated intermediate voltage bus
  topology, the LTC4055 charges batteries faster with
  less heat generation than a traditional charger-fed
  topology. Better yet, a typical LTC4055-based USB
  charger solution is compact and requires only 10
  external components and 100mm2 of PCB real estate.
  Benefits of the LTC4055
  In order to fully appreciate the benefits of the LTC4055,
  let us п¬Ѓrst analyze the difference between the intermediate voltage bus topology and a charger fed topology.
  Figure 1 is a simplified block diagram of the two power
  topologies. In the intermediate bus voltage topology,
  the output called VMAX is derived from one of the three
  available power sources—wall adapter, USB or battery. …

  Simple Battery Circuit Extends Power over Ethernet (POE)
  Peak Current – Design Note 361
  Mark Gurries
  Introduction
  Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a new development that allows for the delivery of power to Ethernet-based devices
  via standard Ethernet CAT5 cable, precluding the need
  for wall adapters or other external power sources. The
  PoE specification defines a hardware detection protocol
  where Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is able to identify
  PoE Powered Devices (PDs), thus allowing full backwards
  compatibility with non-PoE-aware (legacy) Ethernet devices. The PoE specification also sets an upper limit
  on the power that can be drawn by a PD. The problem
  is: what happens when a PD must draw more power
  than allowed by the PoE standard? Examples may be
  the spin up of a disk drive or a period of sustained
  transmission of data from an RF transmitter. If the
  average power load of these applications is less than

  battery, which is not in the power path
  until the USB or external power is removed, stays fully charged. Figure 1

  Let’s examine how PowerPath control

  Such converters are effectively constant power devices. The higher the
