PRODUCTION DATA.
The OS inputs are protected from damage caused by transients from the sensor circuitry during power up/down. When the chip has just been powered up, the protective clamp circuits are enabled by setting Register 0x01, Bit 4 to 1. This clamps the OS inputs to VSSA with internal PMOS devices. The protective clamp circuits are disabled by setting the OVPB enable bit to 0.
The maximum voltage and input current specifications for the OS inputs when OVP is enabled are the same as those listed in Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Positive input signals will be clamped by the internal switch through a diode to VSSA. Negative input signals will be clamped by the internal ESD protection diode to one diode drop below VSSD. Typically this will be about 0.7 V below ground.
