The TLC3555-Q1 is capable of sourcing and sinking more current than previous CMOS-based 555 timers, such as the TLC555-Q1. To help protect the device from overstress due to self-heating, the TLC3555-Q1 includes a thermal shutdown feature. If the junction temperature rises beyond the shutdown limit, a thermal event is asserted and the output enters a high-impedance state, similar to a power-on reset. The device exits the shutdown state after the junction temperature has sufficiently reduced.
In the event of a very fast, extremely high-current transient, the die temperature can rise too quickly for the thermal shutdown feature to activate in time. If a load at the output is capable of pulling more current than the absolute maximum current rating of the device output, use a resistor in series with the output to limit the maximum current of the device.
