IsolatingtheSerialBus
TheLTC4266includesasplitSDApin(SDAINandSDAOUT)
toeaseopto-isolationofthebidirectionalSDAline.
IEEE802.3Ethernetspecificationsrequirethatnetwork
segments(includingPoEcircuitry)beelectricallyisolated
fromthechassisgroundofeachnetworkinterfacedevice.
However,networksegmentsarenotrequiredtobeisolated
fromeachother,providedthatthesegmentsareconnected
todevicesresidingwithinasinglebuildingonasingle
