nRF52832: Power OFF/Reset with UART connected

Hi,

I wanted to know if the UART pins can cause any issues if kept connected to usb (Rx/Tx pins stable to 3.3V) and directly to the GPIOs of the nRF52, while performing a soft-reset or switching OFF and then ON the device.

I have a sensor (ADXL362) connected to nRF52 via SPI and when I restart the device, all internal registers of this sensor appear to be reset to 0x00 (which should not be possible, they should have some defaults values). Thus this makes me suspect that SPI is not actually succeeding in reading those registers, but no error is shown. When, in addition to switching off the device, I also disconnect the UART connector, then the system gets reset properly and registers of the sensor are read correctly.

Can anyone help me understand what is happening?

Thank you in advance. Marco
