7.3.2 Thermal Overload Protection

The LP5910 contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to turn off the output current when excessive heat is dissipated in the LDO. Thermal shutdown occurs when the thermal junction temperature (TJ) of the main pass-FET exceeds 160°C (typical). Thermal shutdown hysteresis assures that the LDO again resets (turns on) when the temperature falls to 145°C (typical).
