Title: Ethernet power distribution systems, controllers, and methods
Inventor: Mohd Azrin Bin Muhamad Azmi
IPC: H04L12/40
Filed: 2020-04-23
Abstract: A system 100 includes a controller 102 and a field-replaceable unit (FRU) 104. The controller includes nodes 108, 110 to supply power to the FRU via nodes 118, 120. The controller also includes return nodes 112, 114 for power returned from the FRU via nodes 122, 124. This arrangement permits connection between the controller and FRU using either normal Ethernet cable or cross-cabling. The controller also includes a comparator 130 with an input 132 at a reference voltage (134) and an input 128 at a voltage which varies depending on whether an FRU is connected. When disconnected, the voltage at input 128 is higher than input 132 and comparator output 140 is also high. However, connecting an FRU shorts out a centre tap at node 112 and drives input 128 lower than input 132, thus driving output 140 low. This causes switch 144 to connect to power supply 134 and supply power to the FRU. This also supplies further voltage to input 132 to prevent accidental switching. Inductors 150, 152 are also provided to prevent current spikes. The arrangement saves power by not using e.g. processors to monitor connection of the FRU to the controller.
