Hi There,

For the TPS7B6701, is it OK to connect the NC pins to GND? The reason for this is to help with PCB layout convenience.

Many thanks,

Ross

Hi Ross,

the eval board does not connect them to GND. So, it wouldn't do it.

Hi Ross,

The NC pins are not internally connected. As such you are able to tie these pins to GND to increase the GND plane and provide better heatsinking for the LDO.

Very Respectfully,
Ryan
