PRODUCTION DATA
All digital IO pins of the device (except NERROR IN, NERROR_OUT, and WARM_RESET) are non-failsafe; hence, care needs to be taken that they are not driven externally without the VIO supply being present to the device.
The GPIO state during the power supply ramp is not ensured. In case the GPIO is used in the application where the state of the GPIO is critical, even when NRESET is low, a tri-state buffer should be used to isolate the GPIO output from the radar device and a pull resister used to define the required state in the application. The NRESET signal to the radar device could be used to control the output enable (OE) of the tri-state buffer.
