Thermal shutdown protection in LTC485

Question

Hi, 
 From the datasheet I find that LTC485 has builtin thermal shutdown protection. When the chip shutdowns (puts driver output i tri-state) due to thermal conditions, will it "turn on" again when temperature drops, or what is needed for it to restart? 
 
 Regards,

Hi, 
 Yes, the chip will reset after the junction temperature drops to some point which might be a little bit lower than the thermal shutdown trigger point. 
 Regard,
