RTN is internally connected to the drain of the PoE hotswap MOSFET, while ARTN is the quiet analog reference for the DC-DC controller return. COM serves as the return path for the gate drivers and should be tied to ARTN on the circuit board. The ARTN / COM / RTN net should be treated as a local reference plane (ground plane) for the DC-DC control and converter primary. RTN and (ARTN/COM) may be separated by several volts for special applications.
