AD8421 Robustness

Question

AD8421 is touted for its robustness. Can you give me some examples?

Answer

AD8421 is one of the most robust instrumentation amplifier on the market
today. It features high ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection rating of 2kV
HBM (Human Body Model), and over-voltage protection (OVP) of 40V from the
opposite supply rail.
