Can I Stack Multiple TS-15200 to Achieve Higher Voltage or Current?

Hardware

  • TS-15200

Issue Details

I am using the NI TS-15200 and looking to achieve the following applications:
  • 12V/2A
  • 24V/2A
While TS-15200 can provide 6V and 3A at 18W in a single module. Can we stack it in the following way?
  • Parallel to achieve higher current than 3A
  • Series to achieve higher voltage than 6V
If we can't, is there alternatives or future roadmap for higher rating module?

Solution

There is no ground isolation on the output stage of TS-15200 and the GND pin are connected to earth. The feature guide doc has this notice included:

Additional Information

There was a plan for high voltage PPS module up to 24V initially but at lower current. Testscale has limited space and cooling for power dissipation from high power module and there is no guarantee when the NPD will be executed.
