ZHCS576I January 2011 – August 2021 LMZ14201H
PRODUCTION DATA
The junction temperature of the LMZ14201H should not be allowed to exceed its maximum ratings. Thermal protection is implemented by an internal Thermal Shutdown circuit which activates at 165 °C (typical) causing the device to enter a low power standby state. In this state the main MOSFET remains off causing VO to fall, and additionally the CSS capacitor is discharged to ground. Thermal protection helps prevent catastrophic failures for accidental device overheating. When the junction temperature falls back below 145 °C (typical Hyst = 20 °C) the SS pin is released, VO rises smoothly, and normal operation resumes.
