TSB582 exposed pad

[p.stein]

Hello,
can we connect the exposed pad of the TSB582IDT to GND in the PCB layout?
There is nothing mentioned in the datasheet regarding the exposed pad.

Welcome @p.stein, to the community!

below table 1 of the data sheet there is a footnote that answers your question:

Exposed pad can be left floating or connected to VCC-.

Please note that we are talking about VCC- here. Only if VCC- is identical to GND, i.e. in single supply mode, the exposed pad may be connected to GND.

Does that answer your question?

Thank you. I had an old version of the datasheet where the footnote was not available. We use it in single supply mode, so VCC- is connected to GND.
Yes, that answers my question. Thank you!
