MSP-FET: Drives SWD and RST lines high before MSP432 is powered

Part Number: MSP-FET

Hello, 

This post relates to my previous question, where I had an issue with the MSP-FET driving the SWD and RST lines high before the micro-controller was receiving power. 

This resulted in all sorts of issues and prevented the system from powering up correctly. 

Currently no answer was received from TI regarding whether a firmware update for the MSP-FET can solve this issue.

My solution was to make a PCB, in place of the MSP-FET-432ADPTR, which will isolate the SWD signals until the MSP is powered. The schematics of the PCB are shown below, in case someone might find this useful. 

It was tested and seems to work well.
