PTN04050C: Can 2 of these be connected in parallel for more current?

Part Number: PTN04050C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM2588

I would like to input 5 V and get an output of 7.3 V. I need a max output current of 2 A. For part PTN04050CAH and PTN04050CAD the maximum output current at this voltage is too low. Am I able to connect two of these devices in parallel in order to achieve my desired current output?

  • PTN04050Cxx maximum output power at 7.3V is 12W or 1.64Amps.
    It cannot be paralleled for increased out put power .
    I recommend the LM2588 adjustable ,typical boost described on page 23-26 , for 5Vin and 7.3Vout for your application . Maximum switch current is limited to 4-5 amps.
