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 LMG2656 AGND pin to signal ground. Connect the LMG2656 SL pin and low-side thermal pad to power ground. The LMG2656 serves as the single connection point between the signal and power grounds since the AGND pin, SL pin, and low-side 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.
