Thermal protection

In addition to the overcurrent protection, the L6208 device integrates a thermal protection

for preventing the device destruction in case of junction overtemperature. It works sensing

the die temperature by means of a sensible element integrated in the die. The device

switches-off when the junction temperature reaches 165 °C (typ. value) with 15 °C

hysteresis (typ. value).
