Thermal shutdown

The device embeds a circuitry protecting it from the overtemperature condition.

When the thermal shutdown temperature is reached the power bridges are disabled and the EN\FAULT input is

forced low through the integrated open drain MOSFET (refer to Figure 10. Thermal shutdown management ).

The protection and the EN\FAULT output are released when the IC temperature returns below a safe operating
