MCF8315A: Not connected pins 22-25

Wiebren Keultjes

Part Number: MCF8315A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCF8316A

Currently we are changing the BLDC driver from MCF8316A to MCF8315A. We have modified one board with MCF8315A and it works.

According the datasheet pins 22-25 "No connection. Leave these pins floating". Is there any risk if we connect it to GND?

(In our new design we leave these pins floating)

Hi Wiebren,

No risk when connecting them to GND. In fact, we do it on our EVM to help with heat dissipation.

Robert
