TPS62932: Gap in Top Groundplane

Part Number: TPS62932

Hi TI Team,

why is there a Gap in the Top Groundplane of the reference layout from the datasheet.

I marked the gap in yellow in the following picture.

This gap is not described in the Layout Guidelines nor was I able to find any comments on it. It also exists on the Evaluation Board, but I did not find there any comments about it.

Do I have to include this Groundplane Isolation on the top side as well and how far from the IC can I connect the GND planes again?

Best Regards,

Felix
