8.7 Unused Pins Connection

All microcontrollers are designed for a variety of applications and often a particular application does not use 100% of the MCU resources. To increase EMC performance, unused clocks, counters or I/Os, must not be left free or floating. For example, set I/Os to 0 or 1 (pullup or pulldown enabled on the unused I/O pins) and disable unused features.

Table 8-3 Connection of Unused Pins
Pin Potential Comment
PAx Open Set corresponding pin functions to GPIO (PINCMx.PF = 0x1) and configure unused pins to output low or input with internal pullup/pulldown resistor.
OPAx_IN0- Open This pin is high-impedance.
NRST VDD NRST is an active-low reset signal and must be pulled high to VCC or the device cannot start.
Note:
  • To reduce leakage, configure the I/O as an analog input or to push-pull and to set to 0.
  • BSL invoke pin must be pulled down to avoid entering BSL mode after reset.
