Forum: Mikrocontroller und Digitale Elektronik Unused Pins of a Microcontroller

Hi,

What should be done with the unused pins of a microcontroller? Can they 
be left just soldered (unconnected) or something additional has to be 
done?
For example, in case of this microcontroller what needs to be done with 
pins with a status:
''I(pull-up)''
or
''O(Hi-Z)''
or
''-''?

Check the datasheet.


The language used in this board is german. Please use the english 
counterpart https://embdev.net/forum/, if you're unable to communicate 
in german.

Yes, the pins you don't need can left free, just soldered.
Also the pins with I/O can be free.

The "-" means that they haven't an input or output and no status. In 
your case its always for the  power supply. They should be connected.

You should on most devices either configure them as an output or, if 
they are configured as input, enable build in pull-up/-down resistors. 
This reduces unnecessary currents caused by the undefined state of the 
input gates.
