Caution: Operating the IC over the absolute maximum ratings may damage the IC. The damage can either be a short circuit between pins or an open circuit between pins and the internal circuitry. Therefore, it is important to consider circuit protection measures, such as adding a fuse, in case the IC is operated over the absolute maximum ratings.

Thermal Information

When the chip temperature exceeds Tj = 175°C (Typ), the DC/DC converter output is stopped. The thermal shutdown circuit is intended for shutting down the IC from thermal runaway in an abnormal state with the temperature exceeding Tjmax = 150 C (Typ). It is not meant to protect or guarantee the soundness of the application. Do not use the function of this circuit for application protection design.
