Hi,

Where should the thermal pad be connected?

Though I tried to access LOGIC FAQ, I couldn't find the answer.

Best Regards,

Hi Kuramochi-san,

The thermal pad must be soldered to the PCB board and electrically connected to gnd for best thermal and mechanical performance.

The datasheet page 22 mentions it in the notes. I will also create the FAQ for this.
