Hello I am using a STPM801 eval board and will design in the STPM801 on my power management board. I am confused by the connections to the TIE0 and NC pins as described by the STEVAL-STPM801 data brief document and the app note AN5830.
The data brief doc shows on page 3 the circuit schematic and the 8 off NC pins are floating (i.e. not connected) as are 3 off the TIE0 pins (pin 13, 14 and 28) - only pin8 connects to GND through a 0R resistor.
Page 4 of AN5830 describes the pin functions. This states that all NC and TIE0 pins "Connect directly to GND".
Should the NC and TIE0 pins be connected to GND or not (or somewhere else)?
