Detailed Description mining the on/off status of the sensor can be selected
through pin VTSELECT as follows:

NOTE: NOT ALL THE EXTERNAL COMPONENTS INDICATED ON THE DIAGRAM ARE REQUIRED FOR THE OPERATION OF THE IC.
Note: For higher EFT performance, a minimum 1nF, 1000V capacitor can be added from nodes FIN1–FIN8 to earth or ground. For
alternative methods to improve EFT robustness, please check the Maxim website regularly for upcoming application notes currently
being developed.
