Hello Guys,

Good day.

Is it possible to connect two TPS61165 drivers in parallel and obtain a higher current output?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Art,

Why not considering of TPS61500 which could supply higher current?

Thanks Yuting. But does it mean it is not possible to connect two TPS61165 drivers in parallel?

Best regards,

Hi Art,

The current imbalance may exists because of internal reference difference. If this is acceptable, I don't see any risks so far.
