BQ27220: Question about BQ27220 Routing

Part Number: BQ27220

Hi everyone,

I am making my own PCB design with BQ27220 component.

I used a High Side current sensing resistor and I have a question with Vss pin on BQ27220 component.

Package is a small BGA and I am not really familiar with these packages.

VSS is the center pin and I don't know what is the best way to connect it to GND. (see picture below)

BQ27220 has a 0,5 mm pitch so if I place a route between 2 pads it shoud be very thin ... Or maybe I should place a via on Vss Pin to connect it to ground plane ?

When I see BQ27220 evaluation module Gerber file, I see Vss is not connected to GND (see file below).

So is it mandatory to connect Vss to GND ? What is the best way to do it ?

Thanks 

Regards

Alexis
