### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout
```
1. Place input capacitors (C_IN) within 5mm of VIN and GND pins
2. Position output capacitors (C_OUT) close to VOUT and GND
3. Keep inductor (L1) placement compact with minimal trace length
4. Use wide traces for high-current paths (minimum 20 mil
