Built-in thermal shutdown protects the chip from overtemperature and short circuit. Output current limitation protects the devices in an overload condition. In the case of a long duration overload, the device limits the dissipated power to a safe level up to thermal shutdown intervention. Thermal shutdown, with automatic restart, allows the device to recover normal operation as soon as a fault condition disappears. Fast demagnetization of inductive loads is achieved at turn-off. a.
