SNVSCF0A October 2024 – December 2025 LM65680-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
Thermal shutdown limits the power dissipation of the LM656x0-Q1 by turning off the internal switches when the IC junction temperature exceeds 165°C (typical). Thermal shutdown does not trigger below 155°C. Once thermal shutdown occurs, hysteresis prevents the device from switching until the junction temperature drops by approximately 9°C. When the junction temperature falls below 156°C (typical), the LM656x0-Q1 attempts to soft start.
Even if the LM656x0-Q1 is in shutdown due to high junction temperature, VCC is still in regulation. To prevent overheating from a short circuit applied to VCC, the VCC bias supply subregulator has a reduced current limit while the device is in thermal shutdown. The VCC subregulator can only provide a few milliamperes of current during this shutdown condition.
