PRODUCTION DATA.
The LDC1612/LDC1614 ties the INAx and INBx pins for all channels to ground by ~10 Ω except for the active channel; in Sleep and Shutdown modes there are no active channels and so all channels are tied to ground. By grounding the channels, potential interactions between sensors are minimized. For multi-channel sequencing, only the active channel is driven with the IDRIVE current during the conversion time; once the conversion for the specific channel completes, the sensor is tied to ground to shut off the sensor, and the next sensor is activated.
For systems which do not use all sensor channels, it is acceptable to leave the unused INAx and INBx pins No-Connect.
