PRODUCTION DATA.
The device uses the thermal shutdown to turn off the power MOSFETs and disable the controller if the junction temperature exceeds 150°C. The device is released from shutdown when the junction temperature decreases to 10°C below the thermal shutdown trip point and starts up under control of the slow-start circuit. Thermal shutdown provides protection when an overload condition is sustained for several milliseconds. With a persistent fault condition, the device cycles continuously; starting up by control of the soft-start circuit, heating up due to the fault, and then shutting down upon reaching the thermal shutdown point.
