thermal pad to ground?

There must be some JEDEC standard that requires the electrical
characteristics of power pads to be undefined.

Some float, some are V-, some are ground, some are even documented.

Call ST, or ohm it out in all directions to everything.

or just look harder on page 3!

On page 3 its says "The exposed pad is electrically not connected"
So connect it to anything you want. Your ground plane is usually the
best bet.

damn, right under my nose... must be going blind. I searched the pdf for pad
and it only returned the one on the IC ;/

thx

These things can be notoriously hard to find.
I've found it's most commonly asterisked in the package data at the
end of the datasheet, but have found it scattered all over the place,
or in some cases not at all.

We usually call them "power pads", which is actually the TI trademark.


** Cut the Royal Plural stuff - you arrogant FUCKHEAD

LTC calls them "thermal pad."


** So fucking what ???

ADI uses "exposed paddle" and "exposed pad."


** So fucking what ?

Ambiguity = error.

The term " thermal pad " has a well understood meaning in electronics.

So one ought not use it to mean something else.

FUCKWIT !!!

** Wrong terminology !!!

The term " thermal pad " has a well understood meaning in electronics.

Google the term.

What that IC has is a ** heatsink pad** .




.... Phil

Not much consistency, except that I didn't find "heatsink pad" once in
my brief search.



ST: "Thermal Pad" (page 1) and "exposed pad" (page 3)

National: "Exposed Pad" and "EP"

Linear Technology: "Exposed Pad"

Analog Devices: "Exposed Pad".

TI: "Exposed Thermal Pad" (and "Exposed Metalized Feature" for the
doohickeys on the sides of the "Exposed Thermal Pad").

TI (Burr Brown): "Exposed Thermal Pad"

Silicon Laboratories: "ePad" for device and "thermal pad land" for
PCB.

** That is a fucking LIE !!!!!

All the hits on Google ( that relate to electronics ) have the same meaning
for " thermal pad ".

Ambiguity = ERROR !!!!

The term " thermal pad " has a long and well understood meaning in
electronics.

So one ought not use it to mean something else.

YOU FUCKING WOG MORON !!!

um... well whippdy fucking do.. Do you realize that is what they used on the
datasheet? Of course I doubt you care cause you just gotta get attention. If
you wanna bitch call up ST.

But that is strictly within the CONTEXT of a that datasheet !!!!


Ambiguity is ALWAY error.

And Jon only used it within the context of that datasheet.
In your rabid rage you seem to have missed this entirely.
The term " thermal pad " has a well understood meaning in electronics.

So amaze us all by citing this definitive reference Phil.
Better go tell all those semi manufacturers they are using the wrong
term.

Yes and no.
The term " thermal pad " has a long and well understood meaning in
electronics.

Sure, as does the term "sanitary pad".
So one ought not use it to mean something else.

Point taken, but, as the snipped bit indicated, your suggestion
(although certainly not original) is not a very popular one among IC
manufacturers.
YOU FUCKING WOG MORON !!!
Love you too.

** WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!

He used it * totally out of context * on this NG in his heading and his
text.


Now go back to trolling school dunnies -

OK, sometimes they just hide it in the fine print.

John

It was definitely not anywhere in one part I used a few years ago.
Even in the fine print. After playing phone tage for days I got the
answer.

Ambiguity = FUN !!!!

How else could you have jokes?

John

Here's one that depends on misdirection and surprise rather than
ambiguity. As a consequence, it should be translatable to other
languages and cultures (stolen from another newsgroup)

-- 
A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, "I feel
horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a
compliment." 
 
The husband replies, "Your eyesight's damned near perfect."

No where do I find what the thermal pad is connect to. Ground? Floating? or
what? I assume ground but that doesn't seem to be a necessarily safe choice
if it happens to be connected to V.
There must be some JEDEC standard that requires the electrical
characteristics of power pads to be undefined.
Some float, some are V-, some are ground, some are even documented.
Call ST, or ohm it out in all directions to everything.
or just look harder on page 3!

Of The Sun?

That's the wrong kind of silicon!
