The layout recommendation figure 60 in the data sheet shows feedback and bias being routed to Vout using two separate connections. I'm using a fixed 3.3V version.
1. If there is a 3.3V (VOUT) plane in the PCB is it OK to connect those signals directly to the internal power plane? I'm not so worried about minor Vout regulation error due to any small voltage drops that might occur between Vout and the sense point.
2. Even if there wasn't an internal plane, could these signals be routed using a single trace to Vout? Again, assuming I'm not concerned about minor Vout regulation errors.
Thanks,
