Parallel connections
A parallel connection is used to increase the output current. Connect two or more
of the outputs in parallel as in Figure 2-14. For a parallel connection, the output
current is the sum of the currents of the individual output. The voltage is from any
of the outputs. Each of the individual outputs must be adjusted to obtain the total
output current.

– Ensure that the voltage (when source current) or the current (when source
voltage) is not clamped.
– Preferably, both are at the same voltage range.
