> Guess what? Microchip recommends resistors to GND on unused outputs in the DSPIC Datasheets I had this vision of a thousand voices asking "What do we do with our unused pins?". And one day Microchip realized, "You know, if we just pick one answer and publish it, everyone will leave us alone". Because, really, any answer is sufficient for 95% of designs. And because of the conflicting criteria, there's never going to be One Right Answer. If someone is worried about ground bounce, or high RF fields, or power consumption, maybe there's a special answer for them. The rest of us? Just pick one and get back to work! I wasn't going to say anything but then I saw others had doubts, too. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
