7.4.3 Thermal Shutdown

Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165°C, the LM21215A tri-states the power MOSFETs and resets soft start. After the junction temperature cools to approximately 155°C, the device starts up using the normal startup routine.
