The TLV182x open-drain option ESD protection consists of a snapback ESD clamp between the output and V- to allow the output to be pulled above V+ to a maximum of 40V. For the inputs, there is a "lower" ESD clamp between V- and the inputs and there is also a parasitic "upper" ESD soft-clamp diode between the input and V+ with a 5kΩ equivelent resistance (as shown in Figure 7-1). These are not traditional ESD cells and current must be limited to 1mA or less across the this upper diode junction and resistance. External diode clamping is recommended if the input voltage can exceed V+ during operation.
The TLV181x push-pull inputs and output ESD protection contains a conventional diode-type "upper" ESD clamp between the I/O pins and V+, and a "lower" ESD clamp between the I/O pins and V-. The inputs or output must not exceed the supply rails by more than 200mV.
If the inputs are to be connected to a low impedance source, such as a power supply or buffered reference line, TI recommends adding a current-limiting resistor in series with the input to limit any currents when the clamps conduct. The current must be limited 10mA or less, though TI recommends limitng the current to 1mA or less. This series resistance can be part of any resistive input dividers or networks.
