In order to take into account the junction temperature increase, the current limitation

threshold is dynamically adjusted.

Below a junction temperature of "OTwarn", the current limit "Ilim_H" linearly decreases from

dot A to dot B like as showed in Figure 24: Thermal current limitation adjustment.

When Tj exceeds OTwarn, then the Ilim_H is automatically decreased, proportionally with

temperature, down to Ilim_Tsd (dot C on Figure 24) in order to reduce the power dissipation

and preserve the device.

If, in case of a lower power dissipation, the junction temperature decreases below OTwarn_

hyst, then the Ilim_H consequently would increase staying always on C-B or B-A line.

It is possible changing the OTwarn and OTsd thresholds via SPI, and reading the ECHO

response as showed in the following tables.

Note:

(-) available in the R6,R5,R4 bit position in SPI command frame 4.

Note:

(-) available in the R6,R5,R4 bit position in SPI answer frame 7b.
