LP8862-Q1: output parallel

Part Number: LP8862-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP8860-Q1

Hi team,

Can LP8862 output be paralleized? connect 2 outputs together to generate higher output current.

  • Hello,

    Yes, you can connect the LED outputs on the LP8862 to generate higher current, but please note that LED open or short detection will no longer be available. For open/short fault detection the device will require at least 2 strings to operate. You can refer to section 7.3.5.1 for more details on the LED fault detection algorithm.

    You might also be interest in looking into LP8860-Q1 device for higher current per string.

    Hope this helps.
