APPLICATION INFORMATION
application proposals
paralleling of two TPS6012x to deliver 400-mA total output current
Two TPS6012x devices can be connected in parallel to yield higher load currents. The circuit of Figure 29 can
deliver up to 400 mA at an output voltage of 3.3 V. The devices can share the output capacitors, but each one
requires its own transfer capacitors and input capacitor. If both a TPS60120 and a TPS60121 are used, it is
possible to monitor the battery voltage with the TPS60120 using the low-battery comparator function and to
supervise the output voltage with the TPS60121 using the power-good comparator. Make the layout of the
charge pumps as similar as possible, and position the output capacitor the same distance from both devices.
