DRV8955: DRV8955PRGER: Layout Guidelines

Part Number: DRV8955

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am running into issues when laying out the DRV8955 QFN package (PRGER suffix). I am noticing that the pad size is quite small for how large the currents are. Out 1 - 4 has a maximum current capacity of 2.5A, if I am not mistaken. In order to run tracks / traces from those pins, I am running into an SMD Neck down error. I'm concerned that this may cause a problem during fabrication.

See below:

Can anyone advise on how I am meant to size the width of my tracks when connecting to these pins? The datasheet does not talk about widths of tracks connected to pins and the reference design I have been looking at uses the other available package (TSSOP).

Thanks in advance.
