PRODUCTION DATA
In many conditions, such as the negative surge pulse, or the loss of battery with an inductive load, a negative potential on the device GND pin can damage the MCU I/O pins (more likely, the internal circuitry connected to the pins). Therefore, the serial resistors between MCU and HSS are required.
Also, for proper protection against loss of GND, TI recommends 10kΩ resistance for the RPROT resistors.
