Paralleling Power Modules

davejv

I am looking to build a high current switch for some prototype testing. I am thinking of paralleling several power modules to achieve high current switching. For example, putting 6x CAB006A12GM3 on a PCB connected in parallel.

Is this a bad idea as opposed to using individual mosfets?

Are there additional considerations for using power modules this way that wouldn't apply to paralleling individual mosfets?

Can any the off-the-shelf gate drivers be used for this application or would a custom gate driver be required? I'm assuming I would need one off-the-shelf gate driver per power module.

Thanks!
