Thanks Neil,

careful if any pins are connected to substrate like on LM3046. Safest
then would be the -ve rail.
Is there a potential for bad things to happen if I connected all pins of a fully isolated Tx to the -ve rail?
...or to re-phrase that...
Would a data sheet specifically mention that Tx pair/array shared a common-substrate in all cases?
