6.3.2 Thermal Protection

The OPAx596 has a thermal protection feature that prevents damage from self heating. When the junction temperature (TJ) reaches approximately 180ºC, the op amp output stage disables. This thermal protection works by monitoring the temperature of the output stage and turning off the op amp output drive. Thermal protection forces the output to a high-impedance state. The OPAx596 is designed with approximately 30°C of thermal hysteresis and returns to normal operation when the output stage temperature becomes less than approximately 150°C.

This thermal protection is not designed to prevent this device from exceeding absolute maximum ratings, but rather from excessive thermal overload.
