Cart Current Sharing with SIMPLE SWITCHER® LMZ Power Modules
The new LMZ2-series power modules allow for paralleling multiple modules for up to 60A of output current in high current intermediate rail and FPGA applications.
When a load current higher than 10A is required by the application, the new LMZ2-series power modules can be configured for load sharing between multiple devices.
Current sharing is enabled on four of our latest power modules:
| Series | Product ID | Output Current | Input Min Voltage | Input Max Voltage | Output Min | Output Max | Freq (kHz) | Freq Sync | Current Sharing | Pkg |
| LMZ220xx | LMZ22008 | 8A | 6V | 20V | 0.8V | 6V | 315-600 |  |

| LMZ236xx | LMZ23608 | 8A | 6V | 36V | 0.8V | 6V | 315-600 | |

TO-PMOD11 |
| LMZ23608H | 8A |
To share the load current between the devices, simply connect the SH share pin of all current sharing modules, configure one module as the master, and configure the rest of the modules as slaves. In just three easy steps you can achieve greater than 10 Amps!
