6.3.3 Input Protection

The inputs of the INA122 are protected with internal diodes connected to the power supply rails shown in Figure 6-1. The diodes clamp the applied signal to prevent damaging the input circuitry. If the input signal source voltage exceeds the power supplies by more than 0.3V, limit the source current with a series input resistor to less than 5mA to protect the internal clamp diodes. Some signal sources are inherently current-limited and do not require limiting resistors.
