6.3.6 Stackable Multi-phase Operation

The TPS61287 supports stackable multi-phase operation. Two TPS61287 can build a stackable dual-phase converter. The M/SYNC of the host device is connected to ground. The M/SYNC of the subordinate device is connected to the attenuated signal of the driver pin of the host device. Figure 6-3 shows the 2 pcs TPS61287 stackable configuration. Forced PWM mode is recommeded for a better current balance and reliable phase shifting.

Furthermore, up to 4 pcs TPS61287 can be configured for multi-phase operation at same switching frequency to support higher power and inductor current balancing. Multi-phase operation greatly reduces peak inductor current, and capacitor ripple current, and increases effective switching frequency, minimizing inductor and capacitor sizes. Figure 6-4 shows the 4 pcs TPS61287 stackable configuration.
