Exposed-Pad Package
The exposed pad on the 24-pin QFN provides a very
low thermal resistance path for heat removal from the
IC. The pad is also electrical ground on the MAX3942
and must be soldered to the circuit board ground for
proper thermal and electrical performance. Refer to
Maxim Application Note HFAN-08.1: Thermal
Considerations for QFN and Other Exposed-Pad
Packages for additional information.
