TLV320AIC23B: TLV320AIC23BRHD QFN thermal pad connection

Part Number: TLV320AIC23B

Page 42 of the datasheet (marked A-2) seems to indicate that the thermal pad can be connected to ground. But should it be AGND or DGND?

It also seems that leaving this pad open/floating is OK too.

But it's not clear to me and I don't see any other information about the thermal pad connection in the datasheet. Can someone clarify how this pad should be connected?

  • Hi, Evan,

    The thermal pad in the TLV320AIC23B is not electrically connected internally to the chip, but it is recommended to connect it to the Analog ground (AGND) for thermal performance and rigidity of the device .
