PTH05T210W: Sense Lines design

Part Number: PTH05T210W

Hello Team,

I have a customer who is working with the PTH05T210W and is looking for recommendations on how to Design with respect to the +/- sense lines. 

The customers query is as follows :

" Do you think we should bring the remote sense trace from the furthest point of the load or somewhere in the middle of the load voltage?  I’m thinking if we grab the very end, the regulator will adjust to that and maybe the portion of the plane closer to the regulator will end up too high?

The customer is referring to the TI blog of  

 " Figure 2 shows a resistor labelled Rsns.  Is this a resistor that I have to add or it’s just the resistance of the plane and/or traces that supply the load?  Similarily, Rp is just the trace/plane resistance and the Cbypass goes between the Vout and the sense line (not Vout and gnd) at the regulator and not at the load. 

I’m using another regulator (PTH05T210WAH) that has sense +/- like figure 1, should I add a 1ufd cap between the two lines? "

Thank you so much for your time and attention towards this post.

Sincerely,

Kishen
