Hello,
I have two questions related to getting the resistor strapping correct for my application, please. I do not plan on using the configuration utility to program the parts, so I want to make sure everything will behave as expected when using the default Mode 0 configuration on power up.
1. The datasheet does not specify the default states for the dedicated GPIO pins. I am presuming they are TRISTATE and that if I am not using them I can just tie them directly to GND. Please confirm.
2. Mode 0 configures for 6-pin UARTs but my design only has RXD and TXD. Is it ok to leave the flow controls (i.e. CTS, RTS, DSR, DTR) as no connects in 6-pin UART mode or do I need to specifically tie them directly, or pull them up/down to specific active/inactive states.
Thank you in advance!
-Chris
