As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electro-
static discharges encountered during handling and
a s s e mb ly. The MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818 ha ve
extra protection against static electricity. Maxim's engi-
neers have developed state-of-the-art structures to pro-
tect against ESD of ±15kV at the switch inputs without

nected to each input, driving an input to -25V will draw
