Re: MMA8452Q Are the pads on the bottom of the part connected to the corresponding metal visible tabs on the side of the part? See Page 50 and 51 of the datasheet. Especially Detail G
Hello John,
Yes – the Cu seen on the sides of the package are connected to the pads of the device.
This is an artifact of the half-etch process used in the design/fab of the leadframe.
Best regards,
Tomas
