Hello Everyone.
This may sound like a newbie question, but I don't want to blow-up the P50, so I ask you folks before trying...
I want to use a Topping P50 for it's neat design, compact size and seemingly sufficient current output capability of 2x 1A @5V
My application needs a total of 1.6A on one 5V rail.
The P50 supplies 2x 1A on separate rails
The Regulators used are TPS7A4700 and their App Note states that the chips may be paralleled to get higher output current capability by 0R1 resistors in each output line. I guess I could implement this easily if really needed 😉
But here are my questions:
If I just parallel the P50 outputs with a Y-cable, will it "survive" 1.6A @ 5V?
I plan to place some additional passive cooling on the back side where the regulators sit. Or would this not be needed?
Which other provisions should I take to make paralleling for 1.6A safe?
Suggestions are really welcome!
Thanks and Regards,
Winfried
