Tool/software:

Can the output of multiple TPSM86637 chips be combined with diodes? Will the combined output be stable?

Hi Richard Sahara,

We will check and get back on this.

Hello Richard,

you can do OR operation using Diodes, but this won't guarantee the equal load sharing. (if you are going with this you can also try the "PMOS as diode" instead of only diode for good efficiency).

If you want me to suggest some alternate BUCK converter, Let me know the output voltage and current requirements.
