PRODUCTION DATA.
TI recommends all high-current loops be kept as short as possible. Keep all high-current and high-frequency traces away from other traces in the design. If necessary, high-frequency and high-current traces should be perpendicular to signal traces, not parallel to them. It is good practice to shield signal traces with ground traces to help reduce noise pick up. The ground reference for components connected to the signal pins should be a kelvin connection to the VCC bypass capacitor and GND pin. Always consider appropriate clearances between high-voltage nets and low-voltage nets.
