TPS2660: Paralleling for extra hold current

Rob Gaddi

Part Number: TPS2660

I've got an application where I could really use 24V x 3A. Can 2 TPS2660x parts be paralleled to increase current capability and roughly share the load current? Or will one hog all the current and trip, thus dumping all the current onto the other which also trips?

Hi Rob,

Yes, you can use multiple TPS2660 in parallel for higher current application.

Please refer to the appnote at the following link for more information on paralleling of eFuses. www.ti.com/.../slva836.pdf
