PRODUCTION DATA.
The WSON is a leadframe-based chip scale package (CSP) with very good thermal properties. This package has an exposed DAP (die attach pad) thermal pad at the center of the package measuring 3 mm × 1.6 mm. The main advantage of this exposed DAP is to offer lower thermal resistance when it is soldered to the thermal land on the PCB. For PCB layout, TI highly recommends a 1:1 ratio between the package and the PCB thermal land. To further enhance thermal conductivity, the PCB thermal land may include vias to a ground plane. For more detailed instructions on mounting WSON packages, refer to AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) SNOA401.
