Why this support circuit is added

Powered from 5 V (onboard 3.3 V regulator) but OUT is 3.3 V logic: direct to a 3.3 V MCU, and a 5 V MCU reads it as HIGH. No library reveals it in code — add it from the checklist.

Grounded in the catalog and golden patterns (real open-source circuits). Every auto-inserted part comes with a reason.

No extra support circuit for this part — only the board rail and the connector are wired.
