6. Keep the switching nodes (SW1, SW2), top gate nodes
(TG1, TG2), and boost nodes (BOOST1, BOOST2) away
from sensitive small-signal nodes, especially from the
opposites channel’s voltage and current sensing feedback
pins. All of these nodes have very large and fast moving
signals and therefore should be kept on the “output side”
of the LTC3728L/LTC3728LX and occupy minimum PC
trace area.
