7.3.3 GND – Ground Return

The GND pin is the external return pin, and provides a reference point for the internal circuitry and the gate drive of the device. This is the return pin for the power stage and must be connected to the negative terminal of the input bulk capacitors. Connect the thermal pad to the GND and verify sufficient copper area to dissipate the heat.

Connect pin 10 GND to pin 3 and 12 in the shortest trace possible. VCC bypassing capacitor must return to pin 10.
