[PowerDsine]

Description

PowerDsine’s™ PD64012 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Manager chip integrates power, analog and logic functions into a single 64-pin, plastic pack. It is used in Ethernet switches and Midspans to allow next generation network devices to share power and data over the same cable.
