Hi,
on the LM2903-Q1, there is no max input current specified.
(the non-Q100 has a max of -50mA in the data sheet)
What is the max input current for negative input voltage?
Thank you
Cristian

It is unfortunate that the datasheets are not the same. I believe you will find that it is more common to only have the min input voltage of -0,3V in the abs max table and no input current spec. That is because it is not possible to have -50mA for input current and not violate the -0,3V input voltage. Our team wrote an application note for this comparator family and section 2.9 addresses protecting the input against negative voltages www.ti.com/.../snoaa35.pdf. I do not have enough characterization data to provide a max input current when the input reaches -0,3V but it will be less than 50mA since the diode does not start conducting hard until after -0.4V. Figure 4 on page 7 shows a typical performance curve of input bias current vs input voltage. We can discuss offline if you need us to provide more.
