6.4.4 Operation In Self Protection

When an overload occurs, the device shuts down the Darlington NPN output stage or reduces the output current to prevent device damage. The device automatically restarts when the over current is removed. The output can be reduced or cycle thermal shutdown on and off until the overload is removed.
