DIY SCPI programmable dual channel bench PSU 0-50V/3A (now EEZ H24005)

[Burning Circuits]

I want to realize a breakout board based on the LTC3864 with only the low-power components.
The high power component (coil, mosfet, schottky, output capacitors, ecc.) would be external for testing.

But in the envox page, the mod told me that it could be a complete waste of time, because the slightest difference in the placement of the trace can make a huge difference.
There is no possibility to make a breakout board based on a buck IC without integrated switch?

Could be wast of time also if I realize the BB board also with the high power component and remote only the v-sense direct to the post regulator?

In the PC power supply, for example, I noticed that the DC-DC converters IC are mounted on a separated PCB.

I did a similar thing when I tested the new switchers for power pre-regulator for the DCP405 module from the BB3 project. The complete pre-regulator is on its own PCB which goes to the main PCB where the remaining circuits are (i.e. bias pre-regulator, post-regulator, digital control, etc.). Switchers of interest were TPS54560 and LM5145.
Schematics and PCBs in Eagle are in attachment. Please note that due to limited space and just 2-layers both of them requires additional cooling for max. current (5 A).

Thank you very much

Just following up with my own EEZ PSU H24005.   It's still going strong without any failure.   I use it all the time and it has not failed me once.\

Thanks for designing a great power supply.
