2.2.2 Setting up the Primary and Secondary Devices in a Parallel Configuration

The MODE pin is used to configure one TPS25985x eFuse as the primary device in a parallel chain along with the other TPS25985x eFuses as the secondary devices. As a result, some of the TPS25985 pin functionalities can be changed to facilitate primary and secondary configuration as described in the multiple devices, parallel connection of the TPS25985x 4.5V–16V, 0.59mΩ, 80A Stackable eFuse With Accurate and Fast Current Monitor data sheet.

Leaving the pin open configures the corresponding device as the primary one. For the secondary devices, this pin must be connected to GND.
