APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)

In a single-layer board application, the thermal pad is attached to a heat spreader (copper areas) by a low

thermal-impedance attachment method (solder paste or thermal conductive epoxy). With either method, it is

advisable to use as many copper traces as possible to dissipate the heat.

CAUTION:

If the attachment method is not implemented correctly, the functionality of the

product cannot be assured. Power-dissipation capability is adversely affected if

the device is incorrectly mounted on the circuit board.
