TIDA-00270 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Current-Sharing Dual LDOs

Description

This power supply topology is capable of sourcing 6A via two LDOs operating in parallel. The solution sources current evenly between the two TPS74401’s: each capable of supplying 3A. This design allows for higher currents to be supplied than is typically possible with a single LDO. It also allows for additional heat syncing not available with an individual LDO.

Features
  • Sources up to 6AHigh PSRR to filter rippleLow Noise output to provide a clean railLow dropout regulationHigh Accuracy (1% over temperature)Soft-start allows for monotonic startup
