The highest di/dts occur in the input loops (see Figures 12 and 13 below) and thus these should be kept as small

as possible.

The input capacitors should be placed with the highest frequency capacitors closest to the loop to reduce EMI. Use

large copper pours to minimize losses and parasitics. See Figures 14 and 15 below for examples.
