ESD structure of OA1NP, OA2NP, OA4NP series

The OA1NP, OA2NP and OA4NP are protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) with

dedicated diodes (see Figure 41). These diodes must be considered at application level

Figure 41. ESD structure

Current through the diodes must be limited to a maximum of 10 mA as stated in Table 2. A

serial resistor or a Schottky diode can be used on the inputs to improve protection but the

10 mA limit of input current must be strictly observed.
