15.3 Unassigned Pin Handling
Table 15.24 lists the handling of unassigned pins.

Pin name
Connection
•After setting for input mode, connect every pin to VSS via a resistor(pull-down)
or connect every pin to VCC via a resistor(pull-up)
•Set to output mode and leave these pins open(1, 2)

NOTES:
1. When these ports are set for output mode and left open, they remain input mode until they are set for
output mode by a program. The voltage level of these pins may be unstable and the power supply
current may increase for the time the ports remain input mode.
The content of the direction registers may change due to noise or runaway caused by noise. In order to
enhance program reliability, set the direction registers periodically by a program.
2. Connect these unassigned pins to the microcomputer using the shortest wire length (within 2 cm)
possible.
3. When power-on reset is used.
