Hi, is it possible to connect both output channels to double the voltage or will Y fry the driver?
I mean, connecting negative from one channel A (A-) to the positive of channel B (B+) and thus have A+B at A+ and B- terminals?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure it's possible. Have a look at the datasheet wether or not it's mentioned if it can be paralleled or not. You might also find instructions on how to wire the driver properly to make it parallel.
Just make sure the you don't exceed the drivers' maximum continuous power rating.
But I don't mean to connect the channels in parallel to double the current, I need to double the voltage, so the channels should be connected in series for that purpose.
No, it is not possible to double the voltage. The outputs merely switch between power and ground.
Equivalent circuit:
No it can't be done. I tried (with a 1A limited source) and it shorted.

Its not possible to connect in this way. The output voltage is limited to the supply voltage of the driver, if
you give the driver twice its rated supply voltage it will probably explode.
