ADUM5010, ADUM6010 - Putting two parts parallel

Q

Can I put two parts of ADUM5010 or ADUM6010 in parallel for more power?

A

It can be done, but there is no provision for external regulation in these
devices, so the power will not be equally shared between the two devices.
It is probably a better idea to use the older ADuM6x0x or ADuM5x0x devices;
they are capable of 3x the power and are about equivalent to 2 of the new
devices in terms of PCB footprint.
