Hi,

I Need to supply an FPGA 0.9V/15A.

Can I connect 3 TPS50601 in parallel?

The dtasheet shows application of 2 component in parrale but I saw no comment on a connection of more than two...

If it is possible to connect 3 in parallel, a reference design would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Itai

I don't see much information about parallel operation in the datasheet. Only fig. 2 and a mention of it in section 8.3.11. I have successfully operated 2 in parallel. Theoretically you could do more, but these parts are not really designed for parallel operation. My tests were more of an academic nature rather than something I would recommend for production. The pcb layout is critical. Your mileage may vary. See this app note:
