Hi Hale,
We have written 2 white papers and 1 software tool on paralleling LDO's using ballast resistors. We are in the process of adding more LDO's to the software tool, and we wish to update this year for the TPS7A52/3/4. You can easily parallel…
Part Number: TPS7A74 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS7A57 , TPS7A54 , TPS7A53 Dear Sirs,
May I use 2 LDOs in parallel to get a double output current?
My customer wants to use 2pcs TPS7A7401 to do such design.
Please help to advise.
Thanks.
Part Number: LP8733 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM2434 , Considering using the DP87334 device, which is pre-configured for the Sitara AM2434 SoC. I do not want to have to program/configure it to modify the default settings if possible.
The DP8733x…
Thanks Wade, promising results. I need to do an analysis of the pdn network between our loads and the bulk dcaps at ldo outputs to assess if the 500ns rise/fall time is reasonable approximation of our application. I'll follow up when i get that answer…
Hi Justin,
Please ask if you have any questions on this topic at all. If you would like me to help design your parallel LDOs, I can do that if you provide me with your system requirements:
Shown below is a representative schematic to parallel the TPS7A84A…
Hi Justin,
Yes, chip resistors are fine. I usually start at 0805 or 0603. Depending on your ambient temperature and the power dissipation, you may be able to select an 0402. You need to review the derating curve in the resistor datasheet to verify you…
Hello,
Please see the resources at the bottom of this reply. There is a lot of information here so please reply back if you have any questions. The excel calculator will help you a lot, there is no VBA in it so you should be able to download it without…
Part Number: TPS7H1101A-SP Is it possible to connect 3 LDOs in parallel - similar to the dual configuration shown in Figure 20 of the datasheet?
If so, what would the connections / external component considerations be?
Hi Wiebren,
There are new papers on parallel LDOs that I wanted to share with you:
A Scaleable, High-Current, Low-Noise Parallel LDO Reference Design
Comprehensive Analysis and Universal Equations for Parallel LDO's Using Ballast Resistors
Parallel…
Part Number: BQ76952 Hi Team,
I am currently designing a BMS including the new BQ76952 chip. For external communication I am using a RS485-Transceiver with current consumption of approx. 50 mA. Additionally I need to supply a SAMD10 with approx. single…
