PRODUCTION DATA.
These devices feature integrated fault protection to make them ideal for use in automotive applications. In order to remain in a safe area of operation during certain fault conditions, the devices use internal current-limit protection and current-limit foldback to limit the maximum output current. This protects them from excessive power dissipation. For example, during a short-circuit condition on the output, fault protection limits the current through the pass element to ICL to protect the device from excessive power dissipation.
