TPS56C230: Pin 6

Part Number: TPS56C230

Tool/software:

Hello,

My customer had a question about the TPS56C230 below:

Just a question related to TPS56C230 that we talked about last year. I have a question about pin#6 (red circled):

 

Is this pin a high-current carrying pin or just used as a bootstrap? I noticed it transitioned to another layer which is usually frowned-upon with it comes to high-current SW node. If it is a “somewhat” current carrying pin, that pin is quite conveniently located.

We purchased the EVM for this board last year, seems to be stable and did not notice any noise.

Thank you,

Owen
