Figure 1 is the lm397 comparison circuit I designed, and Figure 2 is the lm397 spec, which shows that the input pins can withstand the minimum voltage of - 0.3V
My question is whether the comparator will be damaged when VREF = 2.5V and euvw voltage is - 0.5 or - 1V.
I don't think the device will be damaged. Due to the current limiting effect of R44, the current flowing into 1pin is very small
thank you
