PRODUCTION DATA
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the regulator in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165°C, the regulator is forced into a low power reset state, disabling the output driver and the bias regulator. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating.
