Part Number: TPS746-Q1

Hi Team,

Customer is use TPS74601PQWDRBRQ1 to replace old device in a running product. They want to make sure can the NC pin be shorted to OUT/IN?

Thank you!
Marc

  • Hi Marc, 

    NCs are not internally connected to any circuitry.

    Normally, NC is connected to ground or the thermal pad as a best practice to improve the thermal performance of the device. If that is not possible connecting it to OUT/IN should not cause any issue due to the lack of connection to any circuitry. 

    Best,
