TPS60131: Limitations of Paralleling

E Phillips

Part Number: TPS60131

The datasheet lists a typical application of paralleling of two TPS6013x devices to double the total output current. Is there any limitation to the number of devices that can be paralleled. I have a requirement for triple the total output current, would it be safe to parallel three devices? Are there any additional design considerations required?

Hello,

Thank you for your patience, due to the recent holiday period some replies have been delayed. Can you please share what would be the input voltage and the desired output current in your system? I'm looking forward to your answer.

Kind regards,
EM

Hi EM,

The input voltage is 3V3. The paralleling of two devices appears to allow for the full current from both devices (600 mA) so I am hoping to achieve 900 mA with three, but I am interested to know what the limit is if not this.

Best wishes,
E

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback. In this case, it should not be an issue to parallel the three devices.

Kind regards,
