Overtemperature Protection

The TPS1686x employs an internal thermal shutdown mechanism to protect the device when the internal FET becomes too hot to operate safely. When the TPS16860 detects thermal overload, the device shuts down and remains latched-off until the device is power cycled or re-enabled. When the TPS16861 detects thermal overload, the device remains off until the device has cooled down sufficiently. Thereafter, the device remains off for an additional delay of tRST after which the device automatically retries to turn on if the shutdown mechanism is still enabled.
