Is the TS3A5018RGYR center pad a GND connection?

Hi Briana ,

I would recommend connecting the center pad to gnd as heat sink on PCB for thermal and mechanical reasons.
The datasheet on page 30 and 31 talks about the thermal pad.

Hi Shreyas,

Thanks for the reply, confirming GND is the correct connection. I was unsure about which plane to connect the center pad to since page 30-31 only say to connect it to the appropriate copper plane, but doesn't specify which one.

Thanks,

Briana
