Is it required to add a pullup or pulldown resistor to lines which are not in use? If so what would be the recommended value? I am not using the DTR, RTS, SOUT, SIN, RI, DCD, DSR, AND CTS lines and just plan to use the general I/O pins for my use.
Unused input pinss should be tied high. This can be through a a single pull-up resistor (such as a 1K ) tied to all of the input pins so they are not unintentionally driven.
