Joerg, Why don't you try the attached version?


He, he...
Am I dreaming or are you advocating using the ESD diodes for normal
clamping purpose?

I only included those in my schematic since the PSpice model does not.

At these current levels there should be no issue. In fact the very
same clamping occurs in the usual 4060 implementation.

I only object to clamping at currents exceeding ~10mA... latch-up is
risked.
