TPSM33625: TPSM33625

May I question the example layout as well?

The pins 5 and 6 (SW) are not connected in the layout.

Why is there a pad on pin 5, whereas the datatsheet explicitely says on page 4: "Do not place any external component on this pin or connect to any signal. The
amount of copper placed on these pins must be kept to a minimum to prevent issues with noise and EMI."

Hello

The SW pin is present only as a consequence of the package design.

However, this pin can be used as a probe point to help troubleshoot the application, if needed.

I am not sure that I have all of the background for this post.

Let me know if I have answered your questions.

Thanks

Hello

I will close this post due to inactivity.

My issue is not resolved!

There is still no defintion how to handle pin 5 and 6. If the two pins should be connected (as suggested by Aurora Tie and webbench) then the reference layout is wrong and a note in the datasheet is missing. 

If the pins 5 and 6 should not be connected then the webbench circuitry is wrong.

Anyone responsible at TI for this inconsistency?
