Thermal shutdown

Thermal shutdown is automatically accomplished by the Smart Power logic when the

junction temperature reaches 200 degrees.

The system is brought in a safe condition and the microcontroller is powered off for a tTSD

time interval to allow the system temperature to decrease

After the delay the microcontroller is powered again and will find bit 5 of SPI read register

0x12 set.

After 6 trials the system is definitively powered off and can be resumed, if possible, only with

a Power On Reset; the thermal shutdown reset counter can be read and cleared through the

relevant SPI register.

A thermal shutdown condition should never occur and the device SW should keep under

control the junction temperature and take the appropriate actions.
