CDCE6214: VQFN with A1, A2, A3, A4 pads

Darren Jenkins

Part Number: CDCE6214

Clocking team,

The VQFN has a pad at each corner labelled A1 through A4. They aren't mentioned anywhere else. Do you recommend connecting them to ground or leaving them floating?

Thanks,
Darren

Hi Darren,

These anchor pins do not require an electrical connection (can be floated), but customer can choose to connect it to GND which could improve overall board level reliability (BLR).
