that's exactly the part I use. Among other design choices like PESD diodes.
The maximum current of input protection diodes in IC is usually 20mA, 
that's clearly written in datasheets. Not that much, and with added 
Schottkys the input can take much more overload without any unwanted 
current wandering along tiny power traces inside the chip.
