I am designing a custom board with NRF52832 IC. I have a query regarding routing of traces.
In my design, I am not using all pins of IC. Do I need to route traces of unused pins a/c to the reference? 
 Reference and my design images are attached</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 22 Nov 2017 11:38:24 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/27487/is-it-required-to-route-traces-of-unused-pins-of-nrf52832" /><item><title>RE: Is it required to route traces of unused pins of NRF52832?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/108566?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Nov 2017 11:38:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:54cceba7-ccfe-4356-af0c-7ac7ebbacd70</guid><dc:creator>J&amp;#248;rn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Sweety&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unused GPIO pins can be left unconnected. Take a look at the answer on &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/14567/unused-gpio-pins/"&gt;this case&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards&lt;/p&gt;
