and contract manufacturers enjoy gaining electrical
access to all non low impedance (≥10Ω) pins of an IC

in Appendix D for more details. Maintain differential
routing of the remote-sense lines between the load
and the module. Form a “coaxial cable” structure that
surrounds the remote-sense lines with GND potential
within the PCB, to the extent that layout permits. See
