The
LM25149 includes an internal
junction temperature monitor. If the temperature exceeds 175°C (typical), thermal shutdown
occurs. When entering thermal shutdown, the device:
- Turns off the high-side and low-side
MOSFETs.
- PG/SYNCOUT switches low.
- Turns off the VCC regulator.
- Initiates a soft-start sequence when
the die temperature decreases by the thermal shutdown hysteresis of 15°C (typical).
This is a non-latching protection and as such, the device cycles into and out of
thermal shutdown if the fault persists.
