THERMAL SHUTDOWN
Each regulator is current limited and furthermore an
OR-ed warning signal is output (open collector, ac-
tive low output) when the current in a regulator goes
above an over-current threshold (1 A typ for any reg-
ulator).
When one output voltage is higher than 20% typ of its
nominal value (for instance in case of input-to-output
short circuit), the crowbar output pin is activated, trig-
gering an external SCR (connected between input
and ground) that blows the input line fuse.

DESCRIPTION
It is a monolithic Multifunction Voltage Regulator; it
contains 3 regulators, (REG1, REG2, REG3) each
one with an enable input and a feedback input, to al-
low the voltage setting via external resistive divider.
