C-bus I/O port with interrupt and reset
5. Pinning information
5.1 Pinning
5.2 Pin description
[1] All I/O are configured as input at power-on.
[2] HVQFN16 package die supply ground is connected to both the V
SS
pin and the exposed center pad. The
V
SS
pin must be connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical,
and board-level performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding
thermal pad on the board, and for proper heat conduction through the board thermal vias need to be
incorporated in the printed-circuit board in the thermal pad region.
