8.3.8 Thermal Protection

Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 175°C which allows the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 150°C, the output circuitry enables. Based on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator and protects it from damage as a result of overheating.

The internal protection circuitry of the TPS7B67xx-Q1 device has been designed to protect against overload conditions. The circuitry was not intended to replace proper heat-sinking. Continuously running the TPS7B67xx-Q1 device into thermal shutdown degrades device reliability.
