- No, it would not work. If we trying to source current from the input of the MAX40658, the node has to go below ground which would turn on the ESD protection clamp. This is not recommended.
- MAX40658 can handle small signal currents (~uA) at this scenario, but not higher value currents.
- Currents going into the MAX40658 from APD/ PIN diodes will be resolved and clamped.
