Thermal Protection

Internal Thermal Shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum

junction temperature is exceeded. When activated, typically at 165 degrees Celsius, the controller is forced into a

low-power standby state, disabling the output drivers and the bias regulator. This feature is provided to prevent

catastrophic failures from accidental device overheating.

Differences Between LM5041, LM5041A and LM5041B

There are five differences between LM5041, LM5041A and LM5041B. In the LM5041A and the LM5041B

versions, the hiccup mode over-current protection is not employed and the VCC bias regulator is not disabled by

SS pin shutdown state. In the LM5041B version, both HD and LD will be low state when the PWM controller

disabled. In the LM5041 and the LM5041B version, PWM controller is disabled by either a UVLO pin low state or

SS pin shutdown state. Also in the LM5041B version, the REF pin output is not disabled by a UVLO pin low

state. However, if VCC does not receive power from an external source, the UVLO pin low state will disable the

internal VCC regulator and a VCC under-voltage condition will eventually disable REF as the VCC voltage falls.
