Other signals

When designing an application, the EMC performance can be improved by closely studying
the following:
●
Signals for which a temporary disturbance affects the running process permanently
(which is the case for interrupts and handshaking strobe signals but, not the case for
LED commands).
For these signals, a surrounding ground trace, shorter lengths, and the absence of
noisy and sensitive traces nearby (crosstalk effect) improve EMC performance.
For digital signals, the best possible electrical margin must be reached for the two
logical states and slow Schmitt triggers are recommended to eliminate parasitic states.
●
Noisy signals (example, clock)
●
Sensitive signals (example, high impedance)

Unused I/Os and features

All microcontrollers are designed for a variety of applications and often a particular
application does not use 100% of the MCU resources.
To increase EMC performance, unused clocks, counters or I/Os, should not be left free,
example, I/Os should be set to "0" or "1"(pull-down or pull-up respectively to the unused I/O
pins) and unused features should be "frozen" or disabled.
