Can you parallel 3 channels of the TLC6C598-Q1 IC to drive higher currents?

It is non-constant current device, not recommend to parallel output channels. If need large current, you can use TLC6C5712-Q1 constant current solution.

Anda,

Thank you for the feedback. So if its a constant current device i can i assume i can parallel channels? There are some devices that do not explicitly mention it in the datasheet but are constant current devices like TLC591x-Q1.
