For this test, the thermal foldback has been disabled and an initial temperature of 23°C is observed in Figure 3 using the temperature monitor.
A hot air stream is used to heat up the device. As the hot air is applied to the device, the temperature rises until it triggers the over-temperature protection causing the device to shut down.
Figure 3. Temperature Monitor - Ambient Temperature At this initial temperature, a full-scale input signal is played. Figure 4 shows the output of the amplifier at full-scale; this plot shows the differential signal across the speaker load, the amplitude of this signal is later compared versus the output signal when thermal foldback is triggered.
