[sdiy] CV input op-amp circuit

[Roman Sowa]

Yes, they will, after all they are Schottky diodes. And if you put a 
resistor after the diodes to the input of IC, even 1k or less, the clamp 
current inside the IC will exceed limiting value only when BAS diodes 
will burn open.

As for supply absorbing current spikes from input via diode - this is 
not low impedance input, so thanks to input resistor the current can be 
easily eaten by regular circuit load.
