Parallel MAX20327 switches for higher currents

Question

Can multiple MAX20327 switches be operated in parallel for increased current capability? It seems 1 device is rated for passing 1 Amp continuously, can 2 devices in parallel pass 2 Amps continuously?

Hi, Oren123 . The product datasheet specifies typical and maximum on-resistance, but a minimum value is not guaranteed, as it varies with process, supply voltage, and temperature. May I ask how you intend to use the minimum on-resistance? In many cases, the typical value is sufficient for estimation, but we&rsquo;d be happy to better understand your application and provide more targeted guidance if needed Best regards, Christian)
