Hi All,

I am using PADS Layout software. I need to create a footprint for TPS51200 regulator.
On the page 34 of its Datasheet (it is attached) an example board layout is shown. "Non Solder Mask Defined Pad" shape is suggested, but I do not know how to make it in PADS PCB Decal Editor. Is it possible to make such shape of pad in PADS Layout? If yes, then how??

Thank you in advance!

I have associated narrow thin copper shape with one pin of IC and the shape became correct! Now I have another question, how can I create solder mask with the same shape as copper?

Footprint with exposed pad (PowerPAD)

I am using PADS Layout. I what to know how to make the fooprint of TPS51200 correctly. It has an exposed power pad. I have read that this pad should have vias connecting to GND. Do I need to add these vias as terminals in PCB Decal Editor during making the footprint or vias may be added during the routing the design. How exactly these vias should be added and connected to GND plane in PADS Layout software??
Hope for your help!
Thank you in advance!!
