PRODUCTION DATA.
A low ESR/ESL capacitor must be connected as close as possible to the IC between VDD and VSS pins and between HB and HS pins to support high peak currents being drawn from VDD during turn-on of the external MOSFET. Also, to prevent large voltage transients at the drain of the top MOSFET, a low ESR electrolytic capacitor must be connected between MOSFET drain and ground (VSS). In both cases, the traces should be as short as possible to reduce the series resistance.
