8.1.3 Kelvin Current Sensing Resistor

Load current in each PSE port is sensed as the voltage across a low-end current-sense resistor with a value of 255mΩ. For more accurate current sensing, kelvin sensing of the low end of the current-sense resistor is provided through pins KSENSA for ports 1 and 2, KSENSB for ports 3 and 4, KSENSC for ports 5 and 6 and KSENSD for ports 7 and 8.
