■ Unused Pins (for I/O)
Unused I/O pins should be set according to pins’ condition at reset. If the output is high impedance (Pch / Nch
transistor: output off) at reset, to stabilize input, set some 10 kΩ resistor to pull up or down. If the output is on at
reset, set them open. Do not switch between input and output by software.
