Texas Instruments'
PowerPAD Thermally Enhanced Package Technical Brief
(literature number
SLMA002) should be consulted when creating a PCB footprint for this device. In general, for proper
thermal performance, the thermal pad under the package body should be as large as possible. However,
the soldermask opening for the PowerPAD™ should be sized to match the pad size on the 144-pin RFP
package; as illustrated in
Figure 7-2
.
