Subject: Soldering QFNs

From: David Griffith <dgriffi@...>

Does anyone here have any pointers on making a board with a QFN packaged
device and then hand soldering it? I'm pondering doing something like
putting a lot of relatively large vias underneath to made a connection
with the thermal pad on the bottom. At first I thought that I might get
away with using heat sink grease, but it looks like that thermal pad is
the only connection for Vss.
