TCA9539-Q1: TCA9539-Q1 Unuse pin design

Part Number: TCA9539-Q1

Hi Sir,

If we don't use the P13/14/15/17 and have pull down 47K resistor as below red circle. Is there any concern?

Do you have any suggestion if we don't use this pin?

Thanks

  • Hey Anne,

    If you have unused IO pins, tying them to a pull down resistor is the correct thing to do. This device does not have an internal reference resistor tied on the IOs so you need to reference the pin if you are not using it (like what you are doing).

    Thanks,
    -Bobby
