DRV8860: paralleling outputs for higher current

Allan Panaligan
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: DRV8860

the datasheet says that it can support Parallel Configuration for higher output current. How are the outputs are paralleled   ( device1 out1 in parallel to device2 out1 or device1 out1 in parallel to device 1 out2) can you point me to a reference design picture below is figure 8 from DRV8860 dtasheet

    Allan,

    Ideally, you would parallel connect outputs from the same device, so device 1 OUT1 to device 1 OUT2.  But, you can connect across devices as long as you make sure to issue the LATCH command at the same time so the outputs transition together and you avoid any shoot-thru cases as the outputs transition.  

    I am sorry there is not a diagram in the datasheet.  

    What is the application and current needs?  We might have newer devices more suited like the DRV890x family.  

    Regards,

    Ryan
