There is a possibility of damaging the IC when VPOWER- Vour is greater than 6V if a short circuit occurs. Short cir- cuit conditions will result in the immediate operation of the pass transistor outside of its safe operating area. Over- voltage stresses will then cause destruction of the pass transistor before overcurrent or thermal shutdown circuit- ry can become active. Additional circuitry may be required tg clamp the VPOWER to Vour differential to less than 6V if fail safe operation is required. One possible clamp circuit is illustrated in Figure 2; however, the design of clamp cir- cuitry must be done on an application by application basis. Careymust be taken to ensure the clamp actually protects the design. Components used in the clamp design must be able to withstand the short circuit condition indefinitely while protecting the IC.
