Hi all,
I'm super new to PCB design, and I'm using Eagle to make my first PCB.
I couldn't find the package I need in the library, so I read up on the tutorials to make my own custom device but ran into a problem.
The device has an "exposed backside pad" as Ground, and none of the tutorials explain how to make that..
I'm not even sure what it really means since I haven't used the IC before and only prototyped with a similar IC without the pad.. (I know, bad idea)
If someone has experience or know a library that has this made already, please help!
Thanks in adcance!
