8.4.1.2 Signal-Ground Connection

Design the power supply with separate signal and power grounds that only connect in one location. Connect the LMG3612 AGND pin to signal ground. Connect the LMG3612 SL pin and PAD thermal pad to power ground. This serves as the single connection point between the signal and power grounds since the AGND pin, S pin, and PAD thermal pad are connected internally. Do not connect the signal and power grounds anywhere else on the board except as recommended in the next sentence. To facillitate board debug with the LMG3612 not installed, connect the AGND pad to the PAD thermal pad as shown in the Layout Example section.
