8.3.6 Thermal Protection

Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165°C, the LM21212-1 tri-states the power FETs and resets soft start. After the junction cools to approximately 155°C, the device starts up using the normal start up routine. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. Note that thermal limit will not stop the die from operating above the specified maximum operating temperature,125°C. Keep the die under 125°C to ensure correct operation.
