LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
The LP3927 has an exposed die attach pad located at the
bottom center of the LLP package. It is imperative to create
a thermal land on the PCB board when designing a PCB
layout for the LLP package. The thermal land helps to con-
duct heat away from the die, and the land should be the
same dimension as the exposed pad on the bottom of the
LLP (1:1 ratio). The land should be on both the top and the
bottom layer of the PCB board. In addition, thermal vias
should be added inside the thermal land to conduct more
heat away from the surface of the PCB to the ground plane.
Typical pitch and outer diameter for these thermal vias are
1.27 mm and 0.33 mm respectively. Typical copper via barrel
plating is 1 oz. although thicker copper may be used to
improve thermal performance. The LP3927 bottom pad is
connected to ground. Therefore, the thermal land and vias
on the PCB board need to be connected to ground.

Application Note 1187 “Leadless Leadframe Package
(LLP).” The application note also discusses package han-
dling, solder stencil, and assembly process.
