short enough to cause minimal increase in the junction-
to-ambient temperature of the MOSFETs, in the event of
powering up into short circuit or short circuiting after
power up. Therefore, in these events, it can be safely
assumed that the MOSFETs would have minimal thermal
stress on them.
If the LTC4242 operates in the diagnostic mode, user must
ensure a safe joule heating limit of the external MOSFET.
The internal switch will be disabled once the temperature
reaches 150°C, thereby preventing overheating.
