PRODUCTION DATA.
The device has thermal shutdown (TSD) at 165°C (mininum). If the die temperature exceeds this TSD threshold, the device will be disabled until the temperature drops below the temperature hysteresis level.
Any tendency of the device to enter TSD is an indication of either excessive power dissipation, insufficient heatsinking, or too high of an ambient temperature.
