Hello, I am Marco Porzio and I am looking for an high-side driver. I think to use your NCV7608. My preference is for the SSOP-36 EP package (NCV7608DQ), but I did not find any information about the connection of the pad shown in the "Package dimension" section on the datasheet. Is it only a thermal pad or it need a connection (maybe at GND or Vs)? I suppose that it is a thermal pad (no logical connection needed) but I can not find any confirm to that. Thanks in advance.
It is preferred to connect the exposed pad to GND.
