When migrating between two devices in the same package, NC pins on the smaller device are power or GND on the larger device. Can I connect these NC pins to power or GND to allow succesful migration without causing any damage to the smaller device?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Yes. The NC (No-Connect) pins are not physically connected to the die, so you can safely connect these pins to power or GND as per the larger device that you are migrating to, without causing any damage to the smaller device.
