#167301 - Yes, but...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
there were 2 questions:

1) generally about the fragmented ground on the top and bottom - you answered me that it is possible so I am going to make my ground vias smaller and put them in parellel... and

2) about the switcher's ground - I have not understood it yet, sorry. There is a PCB layout in the datasheet of LM25574 - 2 layer board with gnd plane on bottom that the switcher is connected to. But I have 4 layer board and I don't know if the inner planes could be just below the switcher because of the noise. I have found somewhere on the murate website that FB could be used at the gnd and power trace so I put them into my schematic directly behind the output capacitor and that is why two separated grounds were created - ground of the switcher and common ground... I don't know what is correct and what is adequate... I am really confused ;-)

I tried to draw it...

A - my actual design - I thing it is not correct, but maybe yes...
B, C - alternates - please, help me to choose to correct one... thank you very much...
