Thermal shutdown

The device has circuitry embedded to protect it from overtemperature conditions.

When the thermal shutdown temperature is reached both the power bridge are disabled and

both the EN\FAULT inputs are forced low through the integrated open-drain MOSFETs (refer

to Figure 12).

The protection and the EN\FAULT outputs are released when the IC temperature returns
