All,
I realized that many of us have already shared the opinion about this issue.
For whatever it worth, I would like to pitch in my 2c here, too:
1. If we can make all the ports turn on simultaneously, why
necessitate the 8 sec wait?
2. Integrate 8 ports into a single IC seems like a good idea, but
why stop there? How about 16 ports?
3. Putting a single 1J pulse on an SO-8 package is marginal
(considering worst case ambient temperature). Putting 8J on an IC limits
the package choice to only a few. Putting 16J on an IC is out of the
question.
4. System with multiple ports already has to struggle with size and
heat removal. Adding 48J onto a 48 ports system is indeed quite a burden.
5. Having inrush limit PD ensures that the voltage at the terminal
of the PD will be well behave during power up. It will simplify the
isolation switch's UVLO design. I will also prevent the classification
current source from turning back on because the PD voltage will remain above
30V.
I would vote for having both inrush limit on PSE and PD with the
inrush on the PSE is set higher than that in the PD. This approach offers a
more predictable behavior in the PSE/PD interface and add to the robustness
of the standard.
