Hello,

This is -VS, you can confirm this in the Abs Max Rating.

Hi,

Thank you. Are there any advantages/disadvantages connecting the exposed pad to GND or -VS.

ie. are there any leakage paths for GND etc 

RegardsJoe

Hello,

The Exposed Paddle is primarily used for heat dissipation and it is usually connected to the lowest potential.
For Single supply, your -VS is connected to GND, and this is your lowest potential.
For Split supply, your -VS is the lowest potential.

You can check this link to see some advantages of having an Exposed Paddle.

Thanks.
