ZHCSD62F December 2012 – May 2021 LM25017
PRODUCTION DATA
The LM25017 device should be operated so the junction temperature does not exceed 150°C during normal operation. An internal Thermal Shutdown circuit is provided to protect the LM25017 in the event of a higher than normal junction temperature. When activated, typically at 165°C, the regulator is forced into a low power reset state, disabling the buck switch and the VCC regulator. This feature prevents catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature falls below 145°C (typical hysteresis = 20°C), the VCC regulator is enabled, and normal operation is resumed.
