Abstract:
In a Power over Ethernet (PoE) system, a Powered Device (PD) having circuitry to measure the load current from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) in the PD. Circuitry compares the measured load current with a first threshold. Circuitry automatically generates load pulses for signaling the PSE, that power to the PD should be maintained.

Claim (Index 15):
An integrated circuit (IC) for use in a power delivery (PD) device of a power over Ethernet (PoE) system, the IC comprising:\n first and second voltage supply terminals associated with the PoE system; a return terminal associated with a load; a detection circuit including:\n an amplifier stage having a sense node configured to develop a sense voltage representative of a load current between the return terminal and the second voltage supply terminal; and \n a comparator having a non-inverting input coupled to the sense node, an inverting input coupled to receive a first maintain power signature (MPS) reference threshold, and an output configured to deliver an MPS enable signal; and \n an MPS generation circuit configured to generate a MPS pulse between the first and second voltage supply terminals and upon receiving the MPS enable signal, the MPS generation circuit configured to regulate an amplitude of the MPS pulse based on a second MPS reference threshold.
