Can the LM73606 regulator be paralleled with another LM73606 to provide higher than 6 amps output current?

Hi Len,

No, it's not possible since it needs external compensation to be able to control the loops. Use the TPS54540 instead (with external compensation) to do this up to 10A. Follow this Application Note for a similar implementation: www.ti.com/.../slva389.pdf

Best Regards,
