LT3094 exposed pad connection

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LT3094


Hello.

We are using the LT3094 to generate -6V/100ma from -32v.
During design, the Exposed pad should be connected to Vin, but an error occurred connecting it to the GND Plane.
Test results show that we are getting -6V normally at the output.
(When probing the Exposed Pad Pin (13) and Vin Pin (1, 2) of the actual IC with a DMM, it does not seem to be short.)
Are there any potential risks or performance degradations in this case?
Thank you.
