TCAN1043H-Q1: Thermal pad connection

Part Number: TCAN1043H-Q1

Hi TI Community,

The TCAN1043H has a thermal pad. To which potential do we connect it?

Cheers,

Frédéric

  • Hello,

    The thermal pad is not electrically connected within the device, so it can be either left electrically floating on the PCB or tied to the PCB ground net (which may provide improved thermal performance if copper planes are used for ground routing).
