The outputs to this device have both positive
and negative clamping diodes, and the inputs to this device have negative clamping diodes
only as shown in Figure 8-1.
CAUTION: Voltages beyond
the values specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table can cause damage to the
device. The input and output voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output
clamp-current ratings are observed.
