The MAS9171A shall be placed closely to the microprocessor to avoid voltage spikes at the
uC inputs caused by currents on the Supply Pins and/or Pins OUT1 to OUT8.
A block capacitor of 33nF close to the Supply Pins is recommended
It is important to connect external Pull-Up resistors to Vignition in order to prevent quiescent
current into the MAS9171A (Note: MAS9171A has internal pull-down of 225Koms to Gnd).
