into the LC pin remains regulated but the power dissipated in
the A6260 increases. This higher dissipation causes the thermal
monitor to reduce the current to protect the regulator. In extreme
cases, or in cases where the thermal monitor is disabled, the
increased dissipation may cause temperature to reach the thermal
shutdown level, at which point the regulator will be disabled.

as the LC Short-to-Supply condition. In this condition, the cur-
rent into the LC pin remains regulated but the power dissipated in
the A6260 increases. This higher dissipation causes the thermal
monitor to reduce the current to protect the regulator. In extreme
cases, or in cases where the thermal monitor is disabled, the
increased dissipation may cause temperature to reach the thermal
shutdown level, at which point the regulator will be disabled.
Temperature Monitor
The primary function of the temperature monitor included in the
A6260 is to limit the power dissipation of the A6260 and maintain
the junction temperature below the maximum. However, it can
also be used to reduce LED current as LED temperature increases.
This can be achieved by mounting the A6260 on the same thermal
substrate as the LEDs, so that temperature rise in the LEDs would
also affect the A6260. As the junction temperature of the A6260
increases, the integrated temperature monitor lowers the regulated
current level, reducing the dissipated power in the A6260 and in the
LEDs. As shown in figure 2, from the full 100% current level (see
the LED Current Level section), current is reduced at a rate of 4%
per degree Celsius typically, until the point at which the current drops
to 25% of the full level. The junction temperature at the 25% current
level is defined as T

The temperature at which the current reduction begins can be
adjusted by changing the voltage on the THTH pin. When THTH
is left open, the temperature at which the current reduction begins
is typically 98°C. The thermal monitor activation temperature,
