Rin issue: I would like to use the LM5067 for -12V protection, because of the internal voltage between VCC-VEE is fixed to 13V is it possible to use this device for input voltages lower than 13V and which is the correct value for Rin?
thank you

Hi Irene,
What is your max. operating voltage ? If it is less than 12.3V (the min break down voltage of internal voltage), you would not need Rin.
For higher than 12.3V input, Rin can be calculated as
Rin = (Vin-12.3V)/4mA
4mA is taken to provide 2x margin from the min 2mA requirment
