TRS3243E: How to address power-pad

Part Number: TRS3243E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TRS3243

Let me confirm just in case whether the power-pad in TRS3243 should be connected to GND.

Thanks and Regards,

Metropolitan (Tokyo) Area FAE  Kenji Ninagawa

  •  Kenji,

    It is not mandatory for the functionality of the device but connection to the ground plane is encouraged for good heat sinking. I have pasted a link below to an application note that explains proper layout with PowerPAD packages.
