Recommend ditional resistor between V placing output decoupling capacitance directly between FB and GND pins. In PolyPhase® operation, tying the V these pins and GND pins. Review Table 4. FB pins together allows for parallel operation. See the Applications Information section for GND (A6-A7, B6-B7, D1-D4, D9-D12, E1-E4, E10-E12, details. Do not drive this pin.

In paralleling modules, one of the VOUTS pins is error amplifier compensation point for each channel. The connected to the DIFFOUT pin in remote sensing or directly current comparator threshold increases with this control to VOUT with no remote sensing. It is very important to voltage.
