PRODUCTION DATA
The device supports dual-phase interleaved buck configuration especially for a high current automotive processor supply. In the dual-phase configuration, COMP3 and SS3 should be left floating since the pins are internally connected to COMP2 and SS2, respectively. Also, FB3 should be grounded and PGOOD3 doesn't work. In this configuration, it is allowed to turn on CH2 while CH3 is in shutdown, but it is not allowed to turn on CH3 while CH2 is in shutdown.
In the dual-phase configuration, the EN2 pin works as a primary enable pin for both CH2 and CH3. Both CH2 and CH3 shut down when the EN2 pin is less than VEN. The EN3 pin controls only the CH3 in the dual-phase configuration , which helps to add or drop just one phase.
To achieve a better inductor current balancing between two channels, it is recommended to connect both CSB1 and CSB2 at the same point on the PC board, close to the one of low-ESR output capacitors
