Parallel MPM3834C devices

Hi there,

Is it possible to parallel two MPM3834C outputs to form a single 6A output?

On other devices you mention this typical application in the datasheet, but on MPM3834C it’s missing.

Hello,

This is a good question. While this isn’t a typical application of the MPM3834C module, this should be theoretically possible. Just be sure that you have the inputs to be the same voltage. If you are set on this implementation, I would suggest testing this by connecting two evaluation boards of this module in parallel.

I assume you would need to parallel this module to achieve 6A. Why not use a single 6A capable module at the same voltage range? Your BOM cost would be reduced, and your overall solution size would be smaller. Consider the following module instead:

MPM3864 | 2.75V to 7V, 6A, 1.2MHz, Synchronous Power Module | MPS

What would your Vin, Vout, and typical Iout here? Let me know.

Best,

Hello Krishan,

I’m interested in a ultra-low noise switcher with 6A as an alternative to LTM4702.

My Vin is 5V and Vout is 1.2V.

MPM3519 | 36V, 10A, Low-EMI, Synchronous Step-Down Power Module | MPS

This may be overkill, but you would receive an excellent efficiency and incredibly low noise.

Hello Krishan,

since MPM3519 is a new device, when do you think details of noise specification and the device itself will be available?

Good question, I would recommend submitting a ticket to the following link to receive a fuller preliminary datasheet, official mass production timelines, and sampling details if you are interested. This link will connect you directly with the associated FAEs and FSEs:

As of now though, I believe this module is in the sampling stage and has evaluation boards for customers to play around with.

Best,
