5 Summary

In conclusion designers can use the TMP61-Q1 linear thermistor with a LED Driver such as the LP886x-Q1 to monitor the LED temperature and provide brightness regulation or to monitor the LED Driver thermals through implementation with either the $T_{\mathrm{SET}}$ or $I_{\mathrm{SET}}$ approach. All in all, this provides a simple yet effective way of protecting LEDs from thermal damage in critical Automotive Lighting applications.
