PRODUCTION DATA.
The chip temperature is constantly monitored to prevent overheating of the device. There are two levels of fault condition (register 0x0C). The first is to warn for overheating (TS_WARN). This is an indication that the chip temperature raises to a critical temperature. The next level of warning is TS_SHUT. This occurs at a higher temperature than TS_WARN and will shutdown the chip to prevent permanent damage. Both temperature faults have hysteresis on their levels to prevent rapid switching around the temperature threshold.
