TPA6211A1: Thermal pad.

Guru 10615 points
Part Number: TPA6211A1

Hi team,

If the thermal pad is not connected, will it affect the operation?
Of course, I know that the connection with the PCB will be strengthened.

Sincerely.
Kengo.

  •  The package thermal pad must be soldered to the printed circuit board for thermal and mechanical strength and reliability. This package is designed to be soldered to a thermal pad on the board. For more information, see Texas Instruments literature number SLUA271 (www.ti.com/lit/slua271).

    Without proper thermal connection you probably active  thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction temperature surpasses 150°C much sooner.
