blocking of the solder. The ground and power planes
need to be at least 2 square inches of copper by the
vias. It also helps dissipation if the chip is positioned
away from the edge of the PCB, and not near other
heat-dissipating devices. A good thermal link from the
PCB pad to the rest of the PCB will assure the best
heat transfer from the CM3202-00DE (TDFN-8) to
ambient, θJA, of approximately 42.5 -°C/W, or θJA of
approximately 85 °C/W for the CM3202-00SM (SOIC-
8).
