Surface Mount Recommendation (In mm) NOTE 1. The number and size of ground via holes in a circuit board are critical for thermal and RF grounding considerations. 2. We recommend that the ground via holes be placed on the bottom of the lead pin 2 and exposed pad of the device for better RF and thermal performance, as shown in the drawing at the left side. 10/11 ASB Inc.
