Notes:
1) the central pad on the underside of the chip is a
Vss pin and should be connected to ground.
Do not put any other tracks underneath the body
of the chip.
2) it is important to place all Rx, Ry, Cs and Rs
components physically near to the chip.
3) leave YnA, YnB unconnected
if not used.
Check the following sections for component values:
Section 3.3 on page 8:
Cs capacitors (Cs0 – Cs1)
