An eigenvalue criterion for hypercyclicity due to the first author is improved. As a consequence, some new sufficient conditions for a sequence of infinite order linear differential operators to be hypercyclic on the space of holomorphic functions on certain domains of $ℂ^N$ are shown. Moreover, several necessary conditions are furnished. The equicontinuity of a family of operators as above is also studied, and it is characterized if the domain is $ℂ^N$. The results obtained extend or improve earlier work of several authors.
