Hi
This TI note says we can parallel the LM2587.

Is it safe and functional to parallel these off-the-shelf buck modules?
LM2596:

MP1584:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/282737349512
https://www.monolithicpower.com/pub/media/document/MP1584_r1.0.pdf

i'm wondering, if their voltages are different, then the higher V will try to dump it's extra into the outputs of the lower V, which seems bad. Maybe could prevent with diodes?
thx!
