[8023-POEP] Classification Ad Hoc: NO MEETING 9/5/07



All,

There was a highly successful Classification Ad Hoc meeting on 8/29/07 in which we addressed all items.  For this reason, there WILL NOT be a meeting on 9/5/07 as originally planned.

In summary we will propose the following at the Seoul meeting:
------------------------------------------------------
The Type 2 PD behavior during the Mark State should be (FYI, table 33-9 says   Rsig<12Kohm or Rsig>45Kohm or Rsig > 10uF)
------------------------------------------------------
2-Event Timing for Mark Event 2:

IS: 6-12ms
SHOULD BE: 6ms min  (no max)

The maximum time requirement is removed because it otherwise forces the port turn on very quickly.  This does not give a system much time to make a decision whether or not the system desires to power the PD.
By only having a minimum 2nd Mark timing spec, maximum timing is defined by Tpon (33.2.8.13, 400ms after valid detection complete)
------------------------------------------------------
Class Event 3
Required operation is confusing
Two changes will be made to clarify the operation.

A note will be added to the PD state diagram that reads something like:

"Class Event 3 exists in order to have a defined behavior in case a Type 2 PD is brought into the classification range repeatedly.  In a typical power-on event, the port voltage will pass through the Class Event 3 range in less than 1ms.  The Type 2 PD may not respond with the defined 40mA classification current.  This is compliant operation because PDs are allocated up to 5ms for classification current to reach steady state."

Also, 3rd Class timing will be added to the timing table.  Currently it does not exist.  The entry will be something like:

3rd Class Event             0mS min           30mS max
