PRODUCTION DATA.
The GND pin is the power and signal ground connection for the controller. As with all PWM controllers, the effectiveness of the filter capacitors on the signal pins depends upon the integrity of the ground return. Place all decoupling and filter capacitors as close as possible to the device pins with short traces. The IC ground and power ground should meet at the bulk capacitor’s return. Try to ensure that high frequency/high current from the power stage does not go through the signal ground.
