Hello Team,
I got a question from customer about PCM1690-Q1.
Is it OK to connect thermal pad with GND plane? If not, what is the reason?
Thanks,

Hi Kurimoto-san,
The thermal pad can and should be connected to the board ground. It does not conduct much current (besides some very small leakage current), so it can connect to either DGND or AGND.
Thanks,
