Absolute Maximum Ratings

The safety of the device is not guaranteed when it is operated above the “Absolute Maximum Ratings”. The device

should not be operated at these “absolute” limits. Adhere to the “Recommended Operating Conditions” for proper de-

vice function. The information contained in the Electrical Characteristics tables and Typical Performance plots reflect the

operating conditions noted on the tables and plots.

Notes:

1. This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector-base junction of the input PNP transistors be-

coming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action on the IC chip. This

transistor action can cause the output voltages of the comparators to go to the V+ voltage level (or to ground for a large overdrive) for the time duration that an input is

driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re-establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a value greater than -0.3
