There is a large pad under the FT2232, on the bottom of the board. It's even given dimensions on the outline drawing. It does not have a pcb footprint landing padin the reference manual. The bottom view pictures on the product page make it look like it's covered with solder mask. This seems rather odd to me so I wanted to clarify my requirements for the footprint and mounting.
Am I supposed to include an exposed thermal pad on my board?
If so, does it need solder paste, or thermal paste?
