7.4.2.1.4 High-side Drivers - Parallel Outputs

The high-side drivers OUT8 through OUT12 can be connected in parallel combinations to support even higher current loads. For example, OUT8 and OUT9 can be connected in parallel as a 600mΩ driver effectively, or OUT9, OUT10, and OUT12 can be connected in parallel as a 400mΩ driver effectively.

However, there are limitations with this mode of operation:

  • Internal PWM control does not work for parallel high-side drivers and must not be configured for this mode of operation.
  • Constant current mode is not be possible and must be disabled.
  • ITRIP regulation is not supported.
  • Overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection and active open load detection is supported.

If operating in parallel, the high-side drivers must be configured for ON/OFF SPI register control or external PWM signal control through pin.
