ESD issue.

Hi, gauravvalecha .

May I know what is your input voltage to the device? Its absolute maximum voltage should not exceed +/- 16.5V. And its current capability that can be sink is 10 mA. These are the specs that should not be violated to ensure the device will not be damaged. Outside these, I can't guarantee that the device would still work optimally. On the other hand, I also don't want to suggest these ranges as it would not guarantee an optimal performance. We should still focus to its specs table.

Regards,
Jo

if the input analog channel gets damage due to overvoltage or surge how will IC react ?

Hi,
it depends on your ESD-Pulse.
Normally you would place series resistors to the input leads of your inputs, so the input current is limited by the clamps to less than 10mA under all conditions .
So your inputs will be protected and you don't need to know "what if"...
