JAJSAY1E March 2008 – October 2017 LM2854
PRODUCTION DATA.
When the LM2854 senses a junction temperature greater than 165°C, both switching FETs are turned off and the part enters a sleep state. Upon sensing a junction temperature below 155°C, the part will re-initiate the soft-start sequence and begin switching once again. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failure due to excessive thermal dissipation.
