LM5160-Q1: Pin 14 is the "NC" pin ?

user5580299

Part Number: LM5160-Q1

In WEBENCH, I got the result connecting pin 14 (NC) and 12, 13 (SW).
In data sheet, pin 14 is No Connection, which is correct?

Hi user5580299,

My preference is to tie the NC pin to the GND plane. This helps to reduce EMI as the SW node area should be as small as possible.

Regards,
Tim
