Thermal shutdown disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 160°C, which allows the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 145°C, the output circuitry enables. Based on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit can cycle on and off. This thermal cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator, and protects the regulator from damage as a result of overheating.
The thermal shutdown circuitry of the LP5907 is designed to protect against temporary thermal overload conditions. The TSD circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat-sinking. Continuously running the LP5907 into thermal shutdown can degrade device reliability.
