max16832 (Exposed Pad)

Category: Hardware
Product Number: MAX16832

Hello,

Is it possible to connect the EP (PAD) of the MAX16832 to GND ?

I read on Datasheet (page 5) :

"Exposed Pad. Connect EP to a large-area ground plane for effective power dissipation. Do not use
as the IC ground connection."

And on the evaluation board (MAX16832CEVKIT) schematic the EP PIN is connected to GND.
