PCA9554/PCA9554A

5.2 Pin description

[1]

connected to supply ground for proper device operation. For enhanced thermal, electrical, and board level

performance, the exposed pad needs to be soldered to the board using a corresponding thermal pad on the

board and for proper heat conduction through the board, thermal vias need to be incorporated in the PCB in

the thermal pad region.
