9.3.1.1 Thermal Shutdown

The device includes a temperature sensor on each power FET and also within the controller portion of the device. There are two cases that the device will consider to be a thermal shutdown fault:

  • TJ,FET > TABS
  • (TJ,FET – TJ,controller) > TREL

After the fault is detected, the relevant switch will turn off. Each channel is turned off based on the measurement of temperature sensor for that channel. Therefore, if the thermal fault is detected on only one channel, the other channel continues operation. If TJ,FET passes TABS, the fault is cleared when the switch temperature decreases by the hysteresis value, THYS. If instead the TREL threshold is exceeded, the fault is cleared after TRETRY passes.
