The same is true for the two V+ pins. The two GND The input and output traces should also be isolated from pins are not connected internally, but in most applications one another. Power supply traces can be used to achieve they are both connected directly to the ground plane. 1714 F01 Figure 1. Typical LT1714 Topside Metal for Multilayer PCB Layout 9
