AFE5816EVM: TR_EN Pins on EVM Schematic

Part Number: AFE5816EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE5816, AFE58JD16EVM,

Hello,

I've been examining the AFE5816 EVM Schematic and have a query about the interface designed for controlling TR_EN pins:

However, upon further inspection, I noticed that the ports TR_EN_OUT_X are not connected anywhere, and the TR_EN<X> pins of the IC on the EVM board are also left unconnected:

Questions:

  1. If we intend to utilize the TR_EN<X> pins, does this mean we cannot use the evaluation board, and a custom board needs to be developed?

  2. Is there a specific consideration for using the interface employed in the EVM board for TR_EN pins, or are there alternative points to consider?

Thank you
