Paralleling P-MOSFETs for larger current handling

Thread Summary

The user inquires about using the LTC2954CTS8-2 to control two MOSFETs in parallel for increased current handling. The final answer confirms that the LTC2954-2 can drive two MOSFETs in parallel, noting its open-drain EN̅ output can sink around 500uA, but a pull-up resistor is required to ensure proper turn-off of the FETs.

I am planning to use the ltc2954cts8-2, the p-mosfet version to control a circuit.

i was thinking of paralleling 2 mosfets to drive the circuit with an increased current handling capability.

does the chip have enough gate driveability to work with 2 mosfets as we are practically just bringing the voltage to 0?
