QFN package question
527 1 Dec 17.2019, 18:02:47

Hi everyone, 
As you know, almost all QFN packages have a big pad at bottom side (you can see it at bellow) and I know this pad must be ground but I am wondering that, every qfn package has GND connection at this pin?

The die (usually made on a P substrate technology, where the substrate is used as ground of the entire chip) is directly attached to the thermal pad.
For an N bulk (substrate) chip or a P bulk negative supply chip, thermal pad is not supposed to be grounded.
