PRODUCTION DATA.
TI recommends using only one board ground plane in the design. This provides the best image plane for signal traces running above the plane. The thermal pad of the TUSB2046x and any of the voltage regulators should be connected to this plane with vias. An earth or chassis ground is implemented only near the USB port connectors on a different plane for EMI and ESD purposes.
