LT1713 protection diodes

Hello,

Does the LT1713/14 have any integrated protection diodes like those depicted below? If so, which ones, if not, what comparable comparators has integrated diode protection like that depicted here?

Thank you

  • Hi,

    Yes, it surely has at the inputs D7 to D10 and outputs D1 to D4 but definitely not D5 and D6 because comparators outputs need to change instantly when a large differential voltage appears at the inputs. When this happens the anti-parallel diodes will conduct current and clamp the differential voltage.
