LTC6950 dissipation

U66 (LTC6950) is thermally conducting to the ground plane of the PCB. However the ground plane under the PLL section has a cut out that is placed there deliberately to create an "island of silence". Therefore the ground plane under the LTC6950 is of limited size and the package heats up. Consider placing a small heat sink on the package.
