Both SN75LVPE801 and 802 require thermal PAD connection to the PCB ground. Please refer to the Thermal Pad Technical Data and Land Pattern Data for the recommended thermal pad size.

Please also refer to this app note for thermal pad attachment: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slua271b/slua271b.pdf.

Thanks
