Thermal Shut Down

To protect the circuit against thermal destruction, thermal shut down has been

implemented. To provide a warning in critical applications, the current of the sensing

element is wired to input Inhibit. Before thermal shut down occurs Inhibit will start to pull

down by some hundred microamperes. This current can be sensed to build a

temperature prealarm.
