7.3.5 Current Sharing

In instances when a load current higher than 6 A is required by an application, the TPS541620 can be configured to share current. Additionally, the advantage of multi-phase setup is that the output voltage ripple and the input ripple current is reduced by the number of phases in parallel. Pin strapping on the MODE1 pin configures the various modes that current sharing can be enabled as shown in Table 7-3. For applications requiring up to 12 A of load current, the two outputs of the TPS541620 can be connected to enable current sharing between two outputs of a single TPS541620.
