9.3.4.4 Constant Current Limit Behavior During Overcurrent Faults

If during current limit, power dissipation of the internal FET PD = (V(IN) – V(OUT)) × I(OUT)] exceeds 10 W, there is an approximately 0% to 5% thermal fold back in the current limit value so that I(LIM) drops to IOS. Eventually, the device shuts down due to over temperature.
