Wiring of VLXSMPS and VDDSMPS pins on STM32U575xx when SMPS is not used?

I am referring to the note AN5373 and MB1550/1549 schematics to design a STM32U575xx based board. The note AN5373 shows no connection for the VLXSMPS and VDDSMPS  pins when SMPS is not used. Do i just leave them floating? How should I connect them if I do not want to use the SMPS? Also there is no 'VCAP' pin on my symbol.
Please Assist.

Connect them to GND, per the Reference Manual.

What is the full part number of the chip you are using?

That is not a valid part number.

My first reply should be what you need then. VDD11 are effectively your VCAP pins here. A 2.2 uF cap bypassed to ground on each pin will work.
