Q: UCC283 Thermal Pad by 1459046
Hi guys,
Is the thermal pad on the UCC283 electrically connected to ground?
Thanks!

Antonio,
I just measured the ground-to-tab resistance and it was less than a milli-ohm. It is normal to connect this tab to the ground plane copper but do not use it exclusively as the only ground for the part. In other words, be sure to connect the ground pin to ground too.
