I'm looking for the correct pcb footprint for the MAX1979 IC by Maxim, supposedly in a TQFN-EP package. While the land patterns are available on Maxim's website, there are apparently several 48 lead TQFN packages with different footprint areas, and the only information on the IC datasheet is that the area is below 0.93 in² (not very helpful). Where can I find the exact dimensions of the package?

The physical pin layout for the part is provided in this document, linked from page 19 of the datasheet.
The detailed dimensions are given in the package drawing document:

The separation of package drawing document from part datasheet is common with many Maxim parts, and also with some other manufacturers.
