Hi Team,
My customer use TPS7A47-Q1 in his automotive project.
He use it in a 10Vin / 9Vout 500mA Max. load design.
Now he had a output keep short to GND test, need to make sure our device safety include the thermal perform.
He found that when he short Vout to GND, our TPS7A47-Q1 will enter a restart period, I assume that since the Thermal Protection.
But during the on/off period, the measure temp. on the IC case is about the 130C, it is over the Tj recommend range, this scenario will have risk right ?
Customer is wondering about taht our Tj recommend range is up to 125C, but why we set the thermal protect point at 150~ 170C?
Since even protect IC at Tj 170C that had been over 125C a lot, it could already have had a bad effect on IC ?
Thanks!
Kai
