A powered device includes a rectifier circuit, a logic circuit, and a power protection element. The rectifier circuit includes two inputs to receive an input voltage from a powered network and includes two output terminals to provide a rectified power supply voltage in response to the input voltage. The logic circuit is coupled between the two inputs and adapted to receive data from the powered network. The power protection element is coupled between the two output terminals to protect to the logic circuitry from high power transients. In a first mode of operation, the power protection element presents a high impedance to the two output terminals. In a second mode of operation, the power protection element has a first power protection characteristic. In a third mode of operation, the power protection element has a second power protection characteristic.
