7. Minimize the capacitance between the SENSE pin
trace and any high frequency switching nodes. The
LTC1871-7 contains an internal leading edge blanking
time of approximately 180ns, which should be adequate
for most applications.
8. For optimum load regulation and true remote sensing,
the top of the output resistor divider should connect
independently to the top of the output capacitor (Kelvin
connection), staying away from any high dV/dt traces.
Place the divider resistors near the LTC1871-7 in order
to keep the high impedance FB node short.
