- DRV pins (0–25): Transmitter electrodes (26 total).
- Power supply filtering: AVDD28, AVDD18, and DVDD12 each require 2.2μF filter capacitor to GND.
- VDDIO: Can be left floating (defaults to 1.8V) or connected to AVDD.
- /RSTB: Active-low reset; requires external 10K pull-up resistor.
- Sensor_OPT2: Requires external pull-down resistor.
