#121013 - That's not good
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Flowing enough current into the input clamping diodes to raise the chip supply rail isn't good for the chip. It may be acceptable to use a resistor to limit the current when the signal is over-voltage, but if the resistor is big enough to perform this function then it is likely to introduce significant errors. I would suggest that some other form of clamping or limiting needs to be incorporated in your RTD example.
