Parallel multiple TPS54260 output

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS54260, TPS54620

Hello,

Each TPS54260 chip can output a maximum current of 2.5A.

Is it practical to parallel multiple TPS54260 outputs to get higher current output capability, like 10A? Anyone has experience on this to share?

Thank you.

  • In general you can parallel devices that use current mode control.  I have done this with the TPS54620 successfully (2 x 6 A = 12 A total).  If you look in the product folder you will find documentation on this.  I am not sure about putting more than 2 circuits in parallel.  The layout is a little tricky even with 2 circuits as the shared portions are somewhat noise sensitive.

  • Hello John,

    Thank you for the reply. Great info. I found the app note you mentioned for parallelling two TPS54620 devices and will study it.

    Thanks again,

    David
