• LM5050-2: LM5050MK-2 Top marking "SZJB", but the "S" on chip surface is different as before.

    Part Number: LM5050-2

    The first letter "S" of top marking in Picture 1 and Picture 2 are different.

    Are these 2 types of "S" normal?  Any document to prove this change?

    Anyone can help to advise the difference??   Thank  you for your…

  • RE: LM5050-2: Can operate 2 external FETs by LM5050-2 to reduce thermal.

    Hi Hattori,

    Yes, you can parallel MOSFETs for high current usage.

    The only concern would be delay in Turn ON and OFF time of the FETs due to increased Gate capacitance. In case you want faster gate turn ON and OFF, you can consider using LM74700-Q1 …
