Part Number: DP83630
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83640

Hello,

  

Regarding to thermal pad on DP83630, my customer is asking a question. 

 

They will replace from DP83640 to DP83630 because of supporting with Auto-Crossover mode in 100M fix.

And I know to no need to change to hardware and software as following thread.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/interface/f/138/t/286097?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=DP83630

But DP83630 has a thermal pad and its PCB pattern isn’t provided in there board for DP83640.

(Question)

・Does it need thermal pad PCB pattern for DP83630?
