Tying program select and unused pot pins to ground
Posted: Tue May 17, 2022 12:58 pm
I know this probably sounds like a daft question but if the program select and pot inputs are not switched or controlled in any way (ie an application that only uses one program and has not controls), can these pins be tied directly to ground or is there any reason to include a resistor? I've seen some circuits about with resistors in there and I wasn't sure whether they were just vestigial remnants of cannibalised circuits or whether I'd missed some facet of the chip architecture that requires them...
