8.4.1.1 Feedback Traces

Try to run the feedback trace as far from the inductor and noisy power traces as possible. Be as direct as possible with the feedback trace and somewhat thick. These two sometimes involve a trade-off, but keeping the trace away from EMI and other noise sources is the more critical of the two. If possible, run the feedback trace on the side of the PCB opposite of the inductor with a ground plane separating the two.
