Dear Team,

could you please advise how to connect the thermal pad of the DRV8350?

I could not find this information in the datasheet.

Do you recommend to connect to GND?

Thanks and best regards,

In Section 11.2 Layout Example, you can see the TP connects to the pour of GND through pin 1. We also recommend to have only one ground in your layout.

Therefore, connect the thermal pad to GND through pins 1, and 41.
