TS5A3359: Negative Diode on NO pins

Hi Yu,

Thanks for reaching out here! You are correct that there are no negative diodes on the I/O pins. You can tell by using the abs max table in the datasheet - as most device will spec a max clamp current for when the ESD diodes began to conduct. On this device clamping currents spec only exist for the control input (I_IK) - the condition listed is when the input voltage is negative for the control pin. Implying there is no diode on the I/O's (NO pins).

Regards,

Alex

The absolute maximum ratings table does specify a diode current for the NO/COM pins:

Hi Clemens,

Thanks for this. 

Yu,

Please disregard as there is indeed a diode on the NO pin as well as the COM pins. I was looking at only the IIK spec at the time.
