The DRV8662 contains an internal temperature sensor that will shut down both the boost converter and the amplifier when the temperature threshold is exceeded. When the die temperature falls below the threshold, the device will restart operation automatically as long as the EN pin is high. Continuous operation of the DRV8662 is not recommended. Most haptic use models only operate the DRV8662 in short bursts. The thermal shutdown function will protect the DRV8662 from damage when overdriven, but usage models which drive the DRV8662 into thermal shutdown should always be avoided.
