Thanks in Advance.

Hi Giora!

You can’t directly connect outputs of PTN78060w together. To double output current capability you should use load share controller, for example UCC29002.

Best regards.

The PTN series and any other power module cannot be paralleled for current sharing . They will not current share.

Then what is the target power module for UCC29002?

There is no present target module which can be used with the UCC29002. The remote sense function is not compatable the UCC29002 requirements.
