The LTC7871 has a temperature sensor integrated on the IC, to sense the die temperature. When the die temperature exceeds 180°C, all switching actions stop, and all PWM pins become Hi-Z, thus turning off all external MOSFETs. At the same time, all the channels are disconnected from the IMON pins, and the SS and ITH HIGH / ITH LOW pins continue to function normally, so as not to interfere with other LTC7871 chips that may reference the common pins. When the temperature drops 15°C below the trip threshold, normal operation resumes.

The Typical Application on the first page of this data sheet is a basic LTC7871 application circuit. In general, external component selection is driven by the load requirements, and begins with the DCR or R SENSE and inductor value. Next, power MOSFETs are selected. Finally, V HIGH and VLOW capacitors are selected.
