TMP117: About the Exposed Thermal Pad of the TMP117

Part Number: TMP117

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

Regarding the layout examples of TMP117, should I connect the exposed thermal pad to GND? Or should I not connect it to anything?

Regards,

  • Hello Masamitsu,

    The package thermal pad is not connected to the device ground and should be left unsoldered for best measurement accuracy. If the thermal pad is soldered, it must be left floating or grounded.

    Best regards,
