This section will discuss how placing multiple load switch channels in parallel will effect functionality. The total ON Resistance is lower reducing the amount of V = IR voltage drop. When one switch is activated, the other switch is deactivated, allowing the signal to pass through the circuit. Mostly, this is a preferred method to wire single way switches in parallel as parallel or series-parallel connections are used in common electrical wiring installation these days due. Connecting switches in series and parallel configurations can be useful in various electrical and electronic applications, primarily to control the flow of current in a circuit. The result is OR logic where switch 1 (SW1) OR switch 2 (SW2) mu. The concept of dual power supply in industrial switches refers to the utilization of two independent power sources that.
