Abstract

There is disclosed in interface circuit that nodes on a bus to be galvanically isolated while still having a wired-AND functionality. Once nodes are galvanically isolated, a transceiver can be placed in the bus structure and allow for wire-less communication across the bus without adding additional delays or routing complexity.
