It works for the parallel link because the parallel link is sourcing
all the current.
But, the TI link itself can only supply maybe .2 or .3 milliamps
before it will be pulled to ground (probably less). The max
theoretical current out of the linkport is 0.5 milliamps but that is
impossible to utilize since the voltage at that current is zero.
