Hello,
There is a drawing of a via near pad 11 on the Land pattern example. It shows that on pin 11 the Solder mask should be larger than the metal by 0.05,right?
There is a via in the metal of pin 11's pad, what is it for?
The SW pin is connected to an inductor and two resistors on the same plane.Why do I need a via?
In the example layout (Figure 17) on page 19, there is no via on the SW pin or perhaps I don't see it because it is covered by solder.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Svetlana.
