If the device continues to operate at high junction temperatures with high output power over a long period of time, regardless if the device is or is not entering thermal shutdown, the thermal dissipation of the device can slowly degrade performance of the device and eventually cause catastrophic destruction. Designers should be careful to limit output power of the device at high temperatures, or control ambient and junction temperatures under high output power conditions.
