Check that the system can pass its own periodic self-test before performing system testing and characterization.
Make R8 small enough so the AFE3010 can pass a self-test even when there is some small leakage current and the line is connected with reverse polarity.
Make R5 large enough so that the NG_OUT driver current does not burn or break the 200-turn coil.
Make R5 large enough so that the NG_OUT pin voltage does not drop below –0.3 V or does not sink more 5 mA of current during inductive kickback.
Always re-test the trip point and N-G detection whenever making changes to the system component values.
Place filter capacitors as close a possible to the device pins, especially for the amplifier, VDD, PH, PTT, and SW_OPEN pins.
