TPS281C30: how to connect NC pins

Part Number: TPS281C30

Tool/software:

Dear team,

TPS281C30 has NC pins 7,8,9. Can those be connected to GND for better thermal connection to the PCB or should they be not connected?

many thanks

Lutz

  • Hi Lutz,

    It is recommended that the NC pins are left floating. The device has a thermal pad that when connected to the board ground copper, provides better thermal performance. Please see section 9.4.2 Layout Example in the datasheet.
