PRODUCTION DATA
To protect the device in severe power stressing cases, the device implements two types of thermal fault detection, absolute temperature protection (absolute thermal shutdown) and dynamic temperature protection (relative thermal shutdown). Respective temperature sensors are integrated close to each power FET, so the thermal fault is reported by each channel. This arrangement can help the device keep the cross-channel effect to a minimum when some channels are in a thermal fault condition.
