7.3.4 Input Common-Mode Range

The valid common-mode range is from device ground pin to VCC – 1.5 V (VCC – 2 V across temperature). Inputs may exceed VCC up to the maximum VCC without device damage. At least one input must be in the valid input common-mode range for output to be correct phase. If both inputs exceed valid range then output phase is undefined. If either input is less than –0.3 V then input current must be limited to 1 mA and output phase is undefined.
