DRV8840: Maximum current capability of the component and is it advisable to run another one in parallel to increase the current

Maximum current capability of the component and is it advisable to run another one in parallel to increase the current

  • Mark,

    No, the two parts could have a slight timing difference which could cause a shoot through issue.
    For high current application, you can pick DRV8701 driver part and use external FETs to boost the current capability.
