I'm working on the PCB footprint for a Siliconix (Vishay) Si7308DN FET.
Nominally, it's an 8-pin part, but the thermal pad partially overlays pins 5-8
(the drain connections to the FET). The recommended layout has the 8
individual pins plus the thermal pad. Obviously, adding this as a ninth pad or
a filled shape creates DRCs with pins 5-8.
Anyone have any bright ideas for how to lay this beast out to avoid DRCs and
keep with the recommended pad configuration for the part?
