LTC4267-3 does not start switching

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC4267-3

Hello,

I just received some new custom PCBs with PoE controller LTC4267-3.

I already used the same circuit on another PCB before, only with small modifications, mainly now with another Rclass resistor = 45R3 for class 3.

At first the LTC "registered" with the PSE, but after about 500 ms power was turned off.
The problem: the LTC does NOT start switching.

I added a 10k resistor load (Vportp and PGND), now the PSE keeps the input power up, but still no switching action.

The voltage level at ITH/RUN pin is about 0.55V.

I have changed the FET (controlled by nPWRGOOD, also checked that) at ITH/RUN, several resistor values, no success, no switching!

Any ideas?
