TI PowerPAD

 100-TQFP package

The TFP101/101A is packaged in TI’s thermally enhanced PowerPAD

 100TQFP packaging. The PowerPAD

package is a 14 mm

× 14 mm × 1 mm TQFP outline with 0.5mm lead-pitch. The PowerPAD package has a

specially designed die mount pad that offers improved thermal capability over typical TQFP packages of the

same outline. The TI 100-TQFP PowerPAD

 package offers a back-side solder plane that connects directly

to the die mount pad for enhanced thermal conduction. Soldering the back side of the TFP101/101A to the

application board is not required thermally as the device power dissipation is well within the package capability

when not soldered.

Soldering the back side of the device to the PCB ground plane is recommended for elctrical considerations.

Since the die pad is electrically connected to the chip substrate and hence chip ground, connection of the

PowerPAD back side to a PCB ground plane will help to improve EMI, ground bounce, and power supply noise

performance.

Table 1 outlines the thermal properties of the TI 100-TQFP PowerPAD

 package. The 100-TQFP non-

PowerPAD

 package is included only for reference.
