SLVSCP3D January 2015 – November 2025 TPS7B4253-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The device incorporates a thermal shutdown (TSD) circuit as a protection from overheating. During continuous normal operation, the junction temperature must not exceed the TSD trip point. If the junction temperature exceeds the TSD trip point, the output turns off. When the junction temperature decreases to 15°C (typical) lower than the TSD trip point, the output turns on.
The purpose of the design of the internal protection circuitry of the TPS7B4253-Q1 device is to protect against overload conditions and is not intended as a replacement for proper heat-sinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown degrades device reliability.
