 		 #109390 - Current limiting
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Terry said:
Even then the internal current limiting would probably protect the bonding wires. My worry would be thermal stress on the die. If I were testing for this I would run the tests at maximum vcc in a high ambient environment. if it survives that it will live with sane vcc values and normal temperatures.

Just insert a 120R resistor between timing cap and discharge pin and you will limit discharge current to less than 100mA and internal peak power during discharge to less than 0.25W. This should eliminate any additional thermal stress.
