DIFFERENTIAL SENSING
Because the
control, a differential voltage reading is taken across the drain
and source of the low-side MOSFET. Connect the drain of the
low-side MOSFET s as close as possible to the SW pin (Pin 13) of
the IC. Likewise, connect the source as close as possible to the
PGND pin (Pin 11) of the IC. When possible, keep both of
these track lines narrow and away from any other active device
or voltage/current path.

In addition, employ differential sensing between the outermost
output capacitor and the feedback resistor divider (see Figure 89
and Figure 90). Connect the positive terminal of the output
capacitor to the top resistor (R
of the output capacitor to the negative terminal of the bottom
resistor, which connects to the analog ground plane as well.
Keep both of these track lines, as previously mentioned, narrow
and away from any other active device or voltage/ current path.
