TLV717P: Thermal shutdown

Part Number: TLV717P

Hello,


Would you advise that TLV717P has thermal shutdown function?

If yes, what die temp will it be active?

I couldn't find its description even foldback protect function exists.

Thanks

Best regards,

Shidara

  • Hi Shidara,

    There is no mention of thermal shutdown circuitry in the datasheet so I do not believe it has this function. I think the expectation is that the foldback current limit will prevent excessive power dissipation during a fault condition, and during normal operation there needs to be sufficient margin to ensure the device operates at a junction temperature that preserves the longevity of the device.

    Regards,

  • Hi Nick,

    Thank you so much for your comment.

    As you mentioned, I noticed this foldback function can prevent the thermal problem because it will be triggered by being 

    junction temperature over 85°C.

    I'll close this thread.

    Thanks

    Best regards
