#128682 - Reasonably safe Responding to: ???'s previous message |
As long as you do not exceed the specs for the total current sunk, and the maximum power dissipations (temperature), then it should be safe.
If you are really heating up the die, then the temperature will reduce the performance of the whole chip. Within a single chip, you will have well matched MOS transistors. I wouldn't recommend paralleling multiple chips. If you do so, then you have to take into account what happens when you switch. The faster chip will go first, causing a momentary short between the two chips, and that will draw a lot of current. |
