My question is, What is this duration that they speak off. Is there a quantified value. It is not a defined time - just don't do it! Absolute Maximum limits are NOT to be used as operating conditions! My question stems from the fact that I am using an ADC with a absolute min reading on the analouge pin of -0.3V, but I expect anything from -0.6V to -1.1V at times. Again, Absolute Maximum limits are NOT to be used as operating conditions! There are signal protecters out there that switches the signal off after a 10ns delay on the detection of fault conditions. Is the ADC safe if -0.6V to -1.1V is present on the input pin for 10ns? Don't bank on it! You might be lucky, you might not. The datasheet tells you what the manuafacturer guarantees - anything else is totally unguaranteed and, therefore, not to be relied upon. What in your opinion, is the maximum duration that can be tollereated. You are basically saying, "If I abuse this part, but just a little, is that OK?" Doesn't sound like a good design approach to me! Sounds like what you actually need is either: |
