[Yair Darshan] I have summarized why I think we need an average
definition, you probably know that my
intention is to allow some ripple current
around the average in order to support non-constant
load while keeping the average 350mA max. I
am aware of your and others concern that it
will put some burden on the power supply and
on the PSE switch. I am currently working on
the numbers that will allow us all the
goodies from all sides.
In addition see my response to David Kohl on
the reasons why we need it.

[Yair Darshan] Yes, that is what I have meant, 1.5 times max. steady
state = 1.5 times 350mA = 525mA ~ 500mA.
By stating max. steady state I mean max. average available=350mA.

[Yair Darshan] I am not sure that I understand your meaning, why
during detection the PSE is limited to 350mA.
It should be disconnected from the port. Please advise of your
intention.

[Yair Darshan]
1. Why you can supply only Imax? Is it hardware limitation that you
currently have or you are still referring to the case that the PD is
limiting to Imax=350mA and you set the PSE to 1.5 times Imax. Please
advise.
2. Its not my PD. It is just the fact that low cost PD power supply
can be designed with startup current higher than 350mA at less than
50-100mSec. Actually It can be design theoretically to almost any set of
numbers that you want by increasing the cost of the solution.
3. To your question: Some PD's will startup, depends for how long
you supply the Imax during startup.
