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 LTC3728 and occupy minimum
PC trace area.

the same side of the PC board as the input and output
capacitors with tie-ins for the bottom of the INTV
decoupling capacitor, the bottom of the voltage feedback
resistive divider and the SGND pin of the IC.
