There are many things to take note of on this top layer with respect to creating an optimal layout (notes refer to the listing embedded in
Figure 3):
Closeness of C and Cboost caps to their respective pins (notes 1,6,15)

IN
Tight (small) AC loops of FETs in relation to the LC tank (notes 9-12)

Tight loops of the FETs in relation to the H bridge Cin capacitors (notes 9,10)

Closeness of current and voltage demodulation to the IC (notes 5,13)

Closeness of H bridge FET gate driver resistors to the IC (note 14)

Tight loop of LC of 5V switching regulator for low loop inductance/noise (note 2)

Closeness of L to its respective switching node for minimum noise (note 2)

The H bridge FETs produce the most heat. Therefore, FET GND pads are connected to GND with the maximum number of 10mil vias for

the best thermal performance.
