I am designing a pcb that incorporates the maxim DS28E17. The IC has a bidirectional active low reset which I plan to leave unused. The pin description does not give instructions for unused pins:
Active-Low Reset. This bidirectional pin recognizes external active-low reset inputs and
employs an internal pullup resistor to allow for a combination of wired-OR external reset
sources. An RC is not required for power-up, as this function is provided internally. This
pin also acts as an output when the source of the reset is internal to the device (e.g.,
power-up, power-fail, etc.). In this case, the pin is low while the DS28E17 is in a reset
state, and returns high as the device exits this state.
I am wondering what would be the best way to wire this pin? I assume since it is active low it cannot be connected to ground. If i connect it to VDD do I risk frying the IC?
