MCP73832 Thermal Information

An internal electrical connection exists between the Exposed Thermal Pad (EP) and the V SS pin. They must be connected to the same potential on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).

For better thermal performance, it is recommended to add vias from the land area of EP to a copper layer on the other side of the PCB.
