The part is OVT rated as well as Hi-Z at zero power. This would imply no high side clamp diodes. From what I’ve read the parts maintain an ESD rating by having an ESD/TVS type device on the inputs and outputs. We are driving these parts with a current limited signal of 5mA @6V (sometimes higher). the question is can we safely violate the recommended rating of 5.5V since we are driving with a non low impedance signal. thanks.
