Error

Selecting PNP type transistor in the VOUT-Pin protection circuit is not permitted.  A PNP transistor will not be biased correctly.  The transistor could be damaged.  The VOUT- pin voltage rating could be exceeded.

From the default database, select an NPN type transistor with appropriate voltage and current ratings for the VOUT-Pin protection circuit.  Alternatively, use the default choice for TLIN.
