If you are experiencing high temperatures, it is advised to move the PMU to a colder place or
provide better airflow to current location.
Output Load Balancing
Another way to handle high temperatures is to connect the devices that draw the most current in a
way that the transistors for their Output Pins are not grouped up together. In other words, it is a
good rule of thumb not to connect devices that draw the most current to output pins which
transistors are located next to each other. This way they can dissipate heat better, resulting in
lower temperatures. Picture below shows the transistor placement for every output pin:
