Hi,
We are using this part in one of our boards - we don't need to use all the b1-b8 input/output pins.
Can you clarify if we can leave them unconnected? or do they need to be connected to VSS/GND? if so, please clarify the reason.
Thanks!
Anna

Hello Anna,
It is recommended to always ground unused pins because it might cause the device to act unpredictably.
