SBOSA26A December 2020 – February 2021 TMP9A00-EP
PRODUCTION DATA
The substrate on the TMP9A00-EPAIDCK package is directly connected through a conductive epoxy to pin 2 on the lead frame. Consequently, pin 2 is the best lead for a conductive thermal connection to the TMP9A00-EP die. The optimal electrical connection for this pin is ground (GND).
Do not attempt to connect pin 2 (DCK package) to any electrical potential other than ground.
If it is not possible to connect pin 2 to ground, it is possible to electrically isolate this pin (that is, leave it floating). Take care when electrically isolating this pin because any noise or electromagnetic interference or radio frequency interference (EMI or RFI) spikes that couple in through this pin can cause erroneous temperature results.
