TPSM365R3: SW Pin Connections

Part Number: TPSM365R3


The package pinout has a separate SW pin that seems to be for the boot cap connection. The reference design has both of the SW pins connected by the same copper pour in the PCB, but it occurred to me that it might be beneficial to have the boot cap connected via a kelvin connection to the internal SW node, so to leave them disconnected externally. Is it a requirement that these pins be connected together external to the device? 

Thanks, Mark
