Is it okay to connect the ADG1611BRUZ's and ADG1436YCPZ's Exposed Pad to Gnd?

Q

Is it okay to connect the ADG1611BRUZ's and ADG1436YCPZ's Exposed Pad to Gnd?

A

In the datasheet it states that the exposed paddle (EP) should be connected to
Vss. The EP is internally connected to Vss and if the EP is connected to ground
a short will occur and so the part is not operable. If the EP is left open
circuit the part should operate okay but there may be thermal or lifetime
concerns
