TPS2421-1: Parallel connection of TPS2421-1

Part Number: TPS2421-1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25982, TPS259827LEVM

Hello.

I use TPS2421-1 in my design.

This is my schematic

I use  RSET = 40 kΩ

With this resistor the current limit_typ approximately is 5.5A for single chip connection and

for parallel mode connection is 11A. 

When i measure the current in my board i have 5.6A for single chip connection and

the same value for parallel mode connection. I don't understand why.

Tell me pleasure: 

1) Can i use parallel connection of two chip TPS2421-1 to increase the current limit?

2) Where is my mistake?

3) I don't understand why you recomended to use 1% accuracy of RSET but in this time we have the current limit change from (4.6 to 6.3)A  [RSET = 49.9 kΩ]?

  • Hi Alex,

    For this device architecture, you have to use individual RSET resistors. Please try that way.

    Can you let me know your application details.

    I suggest to use TPS25982 for your system specs.

    BR, Rakesh

  • Hi Rakesh.

    I tried using the individual RSET resistors and my device began to work correctly.

    We will buy in the nearest time TPS259827LEVM: Evaluation Module for TPS259827L eFuse and trying this chip.

    reat thanks for help.
