This condition will power NPN switch. This pin is driven up to the input pin occur when load current or other currents fl ow through voltage during switch on-time. Inductor current drives the metal paths between the GND pins and the load ground. switch pin negative during switch off-time.

The GND negative switch voltage allowed is – 0.8V. pin also acts as a heat sink and should be soldered to a large copper plane to reduce thermal resistance.
