SBOSA33C September 2021 – June 2026 LMH5485-SP
PRODUCTION DATA
The LMH5485-SP input stage architecture is intrinsically robust to input overdrives with the series input resistor required by all applications. High input overdrives cause the outputs to limit the maximum swings with the remaining input current through the Rg resistors absorbed by internal, back-to-back protection diodes across the two inputs. These diodes are normally off in application, and only turn on to absorb the currents that a large input overdrive can produce through the source impedance and or the series Rg elements required by all designs.
The internal input diodes can safely absorb up to ±15mA in an overdrive condition. For designs that require more current to be absorbed, consider adding an external protection diode.
