Hey Rafael,

Please connect it to Ground. You can check out the EVM hardware files to see an example layout: https://www.ti.com/tool/DRV8145H-Q1EVM

Thank you! I had checked de EVM but uses VQFN package and I'm aiming for the HTSSOP, if there is a example for that package let me know.

Thank you again

Regards

Rafael

Ahh yeah for that one check out DRV8145P-Q1LEVM, the "L" stands for leaded I recently learned. Or similarly for the Full-Bridge version /DRV8245S-Q1LEVM

Best,

Jacob
