Recently came across a bonding diagram where two metal wirebonds from 2 pads (which were connected on the die) connected to the same Vin pin of a switching regulator. Now as I understand since Vin was high, the two parallel bond wires were used to carry more current from that pin.
However as I understand, that you might a Kelvin connection with 2 bond wires going to an output pin because one of the parallel wires will hardly have current across it and this is used to sense the output voltage while the other one carries current.
How can one recognize if 2 parallel bond wires are being used for current density as opposed to forming a Kelvin connection?
