4.6. Placement of PTHs underneath the exposed pad
When the distance between the edge of metal mask of the exposed pad and PTH is close, the solder may get on the resist then the
PTH and exposed pad of BD71837MWV will be shorted. To avoid the soldering issue, it is highly recommended to keep the positons
of PTHs away from the edge of the exposed pad by 500
μ
m or more, and PTHs should be placed not to disrupt
the current flows
between each GND of the output capacitors and the exposed pad.
Note
The spaces for the current flows between GNDs of each output capacitor and exposed pad for PMIC PGND should be ensured. So it
is recommended that the numbers of PTHs disturbing the current flows should be secured.
