Hi,
I am wondering if the Exposed Thermal PAD on the AT25SF128A-MHB-T should be connected to GND.If not, I would also like to know what problems will occur if the Exposed Thermal PAD is not connected to GND.
I refer to the recommended landing pattern of AN-116.

Hi there!
Yes, the exposed thermal pad on the AT25SF128A-MHB-T should be connected to GND. This connection helps with better thermal performance and improved board-level reliability.
If the exposed thermal pad is not connected to GND, you might experience poor heat dissipation, which could lead to overheating issues and potentially affect the performance and longevity of the device.
