TPS6287B10: Thermal pad pin define

Part Number: TPS6287B10

Hi Team,

May I know the circled pin(thermal pad) in layout should connect to GND? Or it didn't need to connect any pin?

Also, may I know why the thermal pad is divided into three part instead of one big thermal pad?  

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Roy

Thanks.

  • Hi Roy,

    Yes, you must connect the thermal pads to GND and we recommend using vias to get the heat out:

    There is probably a manufacturing reason for having multiple pads, and this is common with larger packages.

    Thanks,
