APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
heat transfer during soldering operations. This makes the soldering of vias that have plane connections
easier. However, in this application, low thermal resistance is desired for the most efficient heat transfer.
Therefore, the holes under the THS6182 package should make their connection to the internal ground
plane with a complete connection around the entire circumference of the plated through hole.
6. The top-side solder mask should leave exposed the terminals of the package and the thermal pad area
with its five holes. The four larger holes outside the thermal pad area, but still under the package, should
be covered with solder mask.
7. Apply solder paste to the exposed thermal pad area and all of the operational amplifier terminals.
8. With these preparatory steps in place, the THS6182 DWP is simply placed in position and run through the
solder reflow operation as any standard surface-mount component. This results in a part that is properly
installed.

Vias should go through the board connecting the top layer
PowerPad to any and all ground planes. (The larger the ground
plane, the larger the area to distribute the heat.) Solder resist should
be used on the bottom side ground plane in order to prevent wicking
of the solder through the vias during the reflow process.

The RHF package is similar to the DWP package with respect to PCB mounting procedures. The recommended
PCB layout is as shown in Figure 74.
