MAX3737
Exposed-Pad (EP) Package
The exposed-pad on the 32-pin QFN provides a very low
thermal resistance path for heat removal from the IC. The
pad is also electrical ground on the MAX3737 and should
be soldered to the circuit board ground for proper ther-
mal and electrical performance. Refer to Maxim
Application Note HFAN-08.1: Thermal Considerations for
QFN and Other Exposed Pad Packages at www.maxim-
ic.com for additional information.
