Dear all,
One of my customer met a problem when using LP2996 in his desigin. He wants to replace lp2996M with lp2996A,and found a big difference between them .LP2996A has a pad thermal connection in the back of the IC,but LP2996M has no.The PCB has no relevant design about thermal pad,can it be replaced directly??or should be redesign the PCB?? Looking forward to your reply!!!Many thanks!!!
