LM5122 multiphase

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5122

What is the upper limit that the LM5122 will share a single error amp, how many chips can I connect the "comp" pin together? I want to do an 8 phase boost converter.

Hi
Basically, there is no problem if there is an external synchronization clock per phase.

So what is my margin, could I go with a 12 phase, one master and 11 slaves?

Hi
Unfortunately, there is no data.
It is relates with PC Board layout and parasitic element. I guess the error amplifier output can reach up to about 10~15 inch without serious noise coupling and the parasitic element effect in general layout, but I am not sure.
