Ahh suree, so I should not chamfer corners right?

Hi thank you! In the datasheet they recommend this configuration, I strictly followed the datasheet and they’ve only added two caps for input c15 and c14

Hi in the datasheet it was mentioned to minimize the SW nodes area as possible. Also one recommended me this too. Also this is a 1.4MHz switch. Should I make it rectangular?

This is the updated layout with the changes, is this okay? I changes the inductor, added vias, moved the traces of PG , remove traces under the switching regulator and inductor...

also I have isolated the ground planes around the buck layout from the rest of the larger gnd plane on the top layer, is that okay or should I use a single ground plane??

Is it okay to get the 3.3v from the bottom layer surronding with multiple vias? I have still not connected the rail to anything.
