10K is typically used for pullups, there's no point in putting one on your supply pins (if that was what you were asking.) I use the internal weak pullups for pins not connected to anything (floating). Regarding your question, if its necessary to use pullups on something you are connecting to, that depends on the type of output on the PIC pin (open collector, tristate) and the type of gate at the device the pin is connected to (active-high, active-low, etc.) Regards, Bob On 3/24/06, mrgizmo wrote: > > > I have 2 projects one using a 16F628 and another using a 12F675 both > running > on 5V.
