Re: [802.3_4PPOE] Backfeed ad hoc - 3P detection



All,

 

Please see attached in which I have attempted to fold together Lennart’s global change to encompass detection, connection check and classification.

 

I’ve left in a few of the changes to the PD signature configuration text in order to avoid using language which infers 2-pair (only) requirements.

 

Some of the open questions from Lennart and Dylan. I am indeed suggesting this language be added to Lennart v230.

 

Lennart, there is certainly a better word(s) than source. I look forward to your suggestion.

 

Dylan, I’d prefer 21V as all the implementations appear to support it. It’s more conservative. 10.1V is indeed another option, which is thankfully shored up by the 0.5mA:21V PSE requirement.

 

Yair, I have tried a number of times to craft language to address the possible presence of a 45kOhm path during detection, cc and classification. My attempts have not been fruitful. Something to the extent that Lennart global language added. Here is a really poor attempt at language.

 

A PD shall meet the requirements of detection (145.3.4), PD signature configuration (145.3.5), and PD classification (145.3.6) in any valid 2-pair configuration, as defined in Table 145-20.

 

Note --- this includes configurations with two pairs connected to the positive VPD and on pair connected to the negative VPD

 

New: Note ---- this also includes two-pair configurations having a single PI input pair shown as “-“ where the pair is connected to positive V_PD through a 45k ohm resistance, per pair.

 

We also identified this earlier this week. No reason to block implementations, but those implementations should know what the PSEs will throw at them.

OK gotcha,

 

There's many different but related things going on, which is a bit confusing.

 

What Heath suggested, and I expanded on, is that right now in the PD section, detection, signature config, and classification are all written as if these happen under 2-pair conditions.

What is missing is a requirement on the PD that says that all of these things can also happen with a second positive pair connected, and the PD still needs to meet all the requirements.

 

What it doesn't account for is a THIRD pair connected to the positive VPSE through a 45K resistor. This is a different issue.

 

Interop is ensured by:

 

DETECTION

In the detection range, the PD has a reflected voltage limit of 2.8V, which is impossible to attain if the negatives are conneced in the PD.

In other words, the PD cannot connect the negatives below 10V.

Thus, this third pair will not influence detection.

 

The testing I did on the schottky diodes and the active bridge confirm that

- schottkys, even under 3-pair, do not allow reverse current, hence detection works fine

- bridges that don't turn on similarly do fine

 

CONNECTION CHECK

Same story as detection, same voltage range.

 

CLASSIFICATION

Per the current proposal, a bridge is allowed to connect the negatives when it gets in the classification range.

Any current from the third positive pullup pair will not pollute the classification current drawn by the PD.

To make this work, this current must be limited by the PSE, we've chosen 500uA as the limit (for class voltages).

As David has shown, this does not impact PSE classification.

 

==============================

 

With regards to the baseline, I think in essense v230 is good, with the following modifications:

- add the 3-pair detection, signature, class text I proposed below (Heath - confirm you are OK with this ?)

- take another looks at the source/sink word choice

 

Kind regards,

 

Lennart

Hi Lennart,

 

What I am asking is that even if we require PD to meet all its requirements under 3-pair mode, the PD will have issues to meet it since under 3-pair conditions, if backfeed is excluded, the PD has no idea what is going to be connected in parallel to the signature resistor during detection and what going to be connected in parallel to Iclass during classification which is what is going to happen. The main assumption for PD to meet its requirement was that it has only Iclass and only Rsig to handle and nothing else is externally reflected to it therefore he can control the results.

Now per your proposal which doesnt say anything about backfeed (it just require the PD to meet its requirement for valid detection and classification under 3-pair mode), the PD will fail to meet it if excluding backfeed in 3-pair mode during detection and classification will allow connecting external components to PD (Zsource).

Hi Yair,

 

I don't understand what you are asking...

 

The proposed requirement simply says that the PD needs to meet detection, CC, and classification requirements also under 3-pair condition.

3-pair condition is defined in Table 145-20 on what that means.

 

A PD better meet this requirement, or it's going to fail to work with nearly every BT PSE.

 

Kind regards,

Hi Lennart

 

Your proposal answered to one of my question below to Heath proposal (connection check and classification).

-Now, what will be the requirements from backfeed? Do you think the above proposal will cover it? How PD can keep valid detection or meet class current range if it is connected to external component that he has no control on it?

Hi Heath,

 

I agree with your assessment, some of the PD requirements do not unambiguously include the 3-pair conditions which we know will happen.

Also see comment r04-67 that makes a related fix.

You are fixing the PD signature requirements in your proposal (145.3.5), but the same ambiguity exists elsewhere too (detection, CC, classification).

 

Rather than making individual fixes, how about adding the following in the PD PI section (145.3.2):

 

A PD shall meet the requirements of detection (145.3.4), PD signature configuration (145.3.5), and PD classification (145.3.6) in any valid 2-pair configuration, as defined in Table 145-20.

 

Note --- this includes configurations with two pairs connected to the positive VPD and on pair connected to the negative VPD

 

On page 187, line 41.

 

Kind regards,

 

Lennart

All,

 

We have been chewing on this issue quite a bit. Our main consternation stems from a concern that we do not want to compromise detection and/or connection check compliance at the PD.

 

The argument today is, if a given technology, eg active bridge or Schottky bridge, can meet IEEE compliance, its use should not be precluded.

 

When reviewing PD shalls and PICS it has become clear that the PD signature requirements can be interpreted as two-pair (one P, one N) tests only. This opens the door for sub-optimal implementations of otherwise valid technologies to introduce interoperability issues.

 

In short, we would be open to compromise on backfeed specifications if the attached text changes were part of the proposed set of changes.

 

These changes explicitly require PD signature shalls to be met in in both 2-pair and “3-pair” configurations.

 

Consider, af/at PDs are not subject to 3-pair detection criteria. However, if an af/at PD is mis-binned as a single or dual signature PD it will still receive its full power allocation. However, if a SS Class 5-8 PD is mis-binned as a dual signature PD it can claim only Class 4 power. Thus bt PDs need to meet signature criteria in both 2 and 3-pair detection environments.

Hi Shiyong, 

 

Your measurements are very similar to what I'm seeing.

 

The voltage goes up by a large amount when a second positive pair is connected.

Since we've only sampled one bridge of one type, all these results are statistically insignificant to derive wheter there really is an issue or not.

 

What we can say is that a 3-pair backfeed test is completely different from a 2-pair backfeed test, as it was originally written.

主题: [802.3_4PPOE] Backfeed ad hoc - 3P detection

 

Hi all,

 

please find attached my updated presentation from today.

 

Note that the 3P reflected voltage at 10V is larger than the 2P backfeed voltage at 57V (see measurements).

 

That would indicate that the new 3P reflected voltage requirement (even) at 10.1V would be harder to meet than the current 2P backfeed voltage at 57V.

Why then even push this further to 20.5V and still holding on to the very low 2.8Vrefl threshold.

You can never convince me that +0.028mA is the very critical threshold for classification to work under 3P.

For class signature 0/1/2 the PD current can change ±1.5mA from nominal and at the PSE side it can even change ±2.5mA from nominal.

 

 

Existing (single-signature) Type1 and Type2 PD’s were never designed to support 3-pair detection and 3-pair classification, only real 2-pair.

Some of those T1, T2 PD’s will already turn on their bottom mosfet even in the detection range if supplied by 3-pair.

For the success of the 3bt standard, it is important 4-pair capable PSE can successfully detect and classify as many ‘unexpected’ PD implementations as possible.

 

Now it seems like all PSEs will suffer and that PSEs are not able to act anymore. This is not the case.

 

If the 4-pair capable PSE can switch the positive pair, there will not be an issue during detection and classification.

If the PSE detection circuit is restricted to the first quadrant (due to series diode D2 in figure 145-20), there will not be an issue during detection and classification even if the PD would reflect the full PD voltage.

There are still things a 4-pair cable PSE that does not switch the positive pair and that does not have series diode D2 could do to keep the margin on the classification current even if the PD would reflect the full PD voltage:

·         the PSE detection source can be disabled (made Hi-Z) on the secondary alternative.

Nowhere in the 145B.1 CC_DET_SEQ timing diagrams Det is active on the secondary alternative when Class is active on the primary alternative !

·         the PSE could adjust the voltage of the voltage source on the secondary alternative.

If the PSE really wants to keep the additional current at (or below) +0.028mA during classification it could adjust the voltage source value on the secondary alternative to:

§  2.8V (or less) below the Vpse on the primary alternative for Zsource=100kOhm

§  1.26V (or less) below the Vpse on the primary alternative for Zsource=45kOhm

Hi Yair,

 

these measurements clearly indicate:

 

1.       The backfeed voltage specification has always been a symmetrical 2P test

2.       If the symmetrical 2P backfeed voltage is extended to an asymmetrical 3P reflected voltage, a larger threshold then 2.8V would need to be taken into account for higher operating voltages.

3.       There is no such thing as a 28uA backfeed current requirement for resistances lower than 100kOhm.

4.       A 4-pair capable PSE that does not switch the positive conductor of the other mode during detection will influence the detection of a single-signature PD.

Hi Lennart, all,

 

I’ve made some measurements as well.

 

As I already expected:

“When extending the existing ‘symmetrical’ backfeed voltage specification to an ‘asymmetrical’ 3P reflected voltage specification,

a significantly larger reflected voltage value can be expected even with PDs using real diode bridges.”

 

However, I was surprised to see how quickly it can become close to the existing symmetrical limit under 3-pair condition and potentially fail then.

See last two slides of my updated presentation.

Hi Joris, all,

 

I've made a measurement on a PD with a schottky diode bridge we have here.

The diode type is the Vishay 30BQ100, a 3A rated diode.

 

The reflected voltage under 3-pair condition is much higher (factor 100x to 500x) than under 2-pair condition.

The good news is that even under high-temperate conditions that bridge meets our backfeed spec, even under 3-pair conditions.

 

At no point do I measure a voltage higher than about 820mV.

 

But... if the intent of the backfeed spec was to limit the current to 28uA, that goes out the window.

With an Rload of 150 Ohms in stead of 100K, we get 70uA at no load condition, and we go into 2mA+ currents at elevated temperature.

 

Specification wise we are OK because the requirement ONLY holds at 100KOhm load resistance.

 

Measurements attached.

 

Kind regards,

 

Lennart

Hi all,

 

I believe we are on the right track with the updates represented in the ‘yseboodt_01_0518_backfeed_baseline’.

The only concern I still have is with a “3-Pair PSE” trying to detect a single-signature PD (just for a single port system).

I have the impression the (schottky) diode reverse leakage has not always been taken into account properly:

either just neglected or represented as being a resistor (without additional current source in parallel).

See my presentation in attachment.

My concern is that a PD with real (schottky) diode bridges might become non-compliant to the 3bt standard

and that a “3-Pair PSE” would be allowed not being able to detect a PDs with real (schottky) diode bridges anymore,

due to hard to meet leakage current requirements.

As such I do not have any problem with that, but do we really want to go that far?

 

Next to my presentation, I also attached a spice schematic file for those that would like make simulations.

FYI, the name “3-Pair PSE” is short for “a 4-pair capable PSE providing power in 2-pair mode, whereby two pairs are connected to the positive VPSE, and one pair is connected to the negative VPSE“.
