### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout
- Keep input capacitors (CIN) as close as possible to VIN and GND pins
- Route high-current paths using wide traces (minimum 20 mil width per amp)
- Use multiple vias for ground connections to reduce impedance
Thermal Management
- Implement thermal relief patterns under the device
- Use 4-6 thermal vias connecting to internal ground plane
- Allocate sufficient copper area for heat dissipation (minimum 1 sq. in.)
Signal Routing
- Route feedback signals away from switching nodes
- Use ground guards
