5. Thermal shutdown circuit
The S-1142C/D Series has a thermal shutdown circuit to protect the device from damage due to overheat. When
the junction temperature rises to 150°C typ., the thermal shutdown circuit operates to stop regulating. When the
junction temperature drops to 125°C typ., the thermal shutdown circuit is released to restart regulating.
Due to self-heating of the S-1142C/D Series, if the thermal shutdown circuit starts operating, it stops regulating
so that the output voltage drops. When regulation stops, the S-1142C/D Series does not itself generate heat and
the IC’s temperature drops. When the temperature drops, the thermal shutdown circuit is released to restart
regulating, thus this IC generates heat again. Repeating this procedure makes the waveform of the output voltage
into a pulse-like form. Stop or restart of regulation continues unless decreasing either or both of the input voltage
and the output current in order to reduce the internal power consumption, or decreasing the ambient temperature.
