LTC1292/LTC1297 OUUWUAPPLICATIS I FOR ATIO If VCC and VREF are not tied together, then VCC should Because a unique input protection structure is used on be turned on first, then VREF. If this sequence cannot be the digital input pins, the signal levels on these pins can met, connecting a diode from VREF to VCC is recom- exceed the device VCC without damaging the device. mended (see Figure 25). 1N4148 DIODES 1N4148 DIODES CS CS V 5V V 5V CC CC 1k +IN CLK +IN CLK LTC1292 LTC1292 LTC1297 LTC1297 –IN D –IN D OUT OUT GND V GND V REF REF LTC1292/7 F24 LTC1292/7 F23 Figure 23.
