7.3.8.5 Protection for MCU I/Os

In many conditions, such as the negative ISO pulse, or the loss of battery with an inductive load, a negative potential on the device GND pin is able to potentially damage the MCU I/O pins (more likely, the internal circuitry connected to the pins). Therefore, serial resistors between MCU and HSS are required.

Also, for proper protection against loss of GND, TI recommends 10kΩ resistance for the RPROT resistors.
