I have a customer running a series of test on a TLV73318PDQNR in their system. At an elevated 80C ambient temp and a deliberate fault condition of 350mA overload instead of expected current foldback the output goes to zero and appears to shutdown. However, once the overload is removed the device starts up "almost instantly". The input voltage is 3.3V so obviously they are hitting thermal shutdown but the question is why does the device restart so quickly once the overload is removed? The nominal load is between 150mA and 280mA. What timing would you expect for thermal restart given the thermal hysteresis is 20C?
Thanks!
