No where do I find what the thermal pad is connect to. Ground? Floating? or what? I assume ground but that doesn't seem to be a necessarily safe choice if it happens to be connected to V.

On page 3 its says "The exposed pad is electrically not connected"So connect it to anything you want. Your ground plane is usually thebest bet.Dave.
