是否可以简单的将两个稳压芯片进行并联提供更大的输出电流呢？

一、前言

如果一个稳压芯片输出电流不能够满足要求，是否可以简单的将两个稳压芯片进行并联提供更大的输出电流呢？ 下面简单测试一下，看会出现什么问题。

二、测试电路

设计两路稳压芯片并联电路。这里给出了两路独立的稳压芯片7805。它们的输出可以并联在一起，为负载提供输出电流。输入分开，由不同的直流电源提供工作电流，也间接获得每个稳压器的工作电流。下面也设计了1117，3.3V的稳压芯片。该电路板也可以对1117稳压芯片进行测试。使用单面板制作测试电路。

一分钟之后获得测试电路板。检查一下制作的情况。非常完美。焊接电路板。先测试两个 AS1117 稳压芯片的并联情况。通过可编程直流电源和电子负载对其进行测试。

▲ 图1.2.1 测试电路图

▲ 图1.2.2 测试PCB图

三、测试结果

下面使用电子负载，分别测试两个AS1117的输出特性。负载电流范围是 300mA。两个1117的输入电压为9V。记录每个电流下对应的芯片输出。这是第一个芯片的输出特性。右面电压下降快，猜测是芯片发热造成的。第二个芯片特性比较平直。估计它的温度特性比较稳定。从这里可以看到 ，两个稳压芯片输出特性差别还是蛮大的。

▲ 图1.3.5 三个芯片输出特性

将两个1117并联在一起，输入电压同样为9V，此时可以看到，它们各自的静态电流不太一样。一个为 0.9mA，另外一个为 5.6mA。下面使用电子负载测量两个1117并联后各自的电流变化。

使用电子负载测试并联后的两个1117工作电流。工作电流可以通过DH1766 直接读出。测量结果令人感到惊讶。居然在整个输出电流范围内，两个1117只有一个为负载提供电流。另外一个始终输出 0mA。这让我破防了。实在是没有想到。手触碰两个1117，会发现一个已经发烫，另外一个没有温度。
