SN74CB3Q3251: EPAD connectivity

Part Number: SN74CB3Q3251

Hi,

What is the recommended connectivity for the EPAD of the VQFN version of this part? GND, VCC, or left floating?

I couldn't find an answer to this in the datasheet...

Thanks,

Rafi

  • Hi Rafi,

    You can leave the thermal pad electrically floating or connect it to a ground pour. The pad isn't electrically connected but should be soldered down to the PCB so that heat can be dissipated efficiently.

    If you have any other questions please let me know!

    Best,
