Is it possible to tie both CT1 and CT2 to a single capacitor which has double the value of two separate caps?

Hi Ted,

This is only recommended if both channels are put in parallel (VINs and VOUTs tied together). If the channels are left separate, then they would have to be turned on at the same time. Are you looking to control channels 1 and 2 independently?

Thanks,

Thanks Alek,

Vin's tied together, but not Vout's - I will use two caps.
