I don't like it when I have to go onto a vendor's forum to find out what the exposed ground pad on an IC should be connected to.

@gsuberland name and shame! This is basic datasheet contents.
@gsuberland so 30/30/30/10 chance that it’s NC/PGND/AGND/Vcc respectively
@gsuberland of course, the NC case is about 50/50 between “may be connected to GND” and “MUST be left floating”
@gsuberland wait, is it not ground?
@petrillic @gsuberland if it’s not explicitly documented to be ground, then it’s not guaranteed. It might be V+, might be NC, might be a P-channel MOSFET’s gate…
