 		 #131944 - don't use it as a port pin
Responding to: ???'s previous message
This is why you must not use this pin as a port pin and you must use an external supervisor, unless:
- the application is a toy where failure does not matter
- the application is powered permanently from a glitch-free source (battery).

It's a pity, though, that they did not manage to work it properly. I believe this is an underestimated area at most '51 manufacturers - and this is where the AVRs and PICs gain significantly...

         words, words            01/01/70 00:00      
   Does it not have an internal Reset circuit?            01/01/70 00:00      
      now THIS is a BAD documentation            01/01/70 00:00      
         Does it imply            01/01/70 00:00      
            infernal reset (not a typo!)            01/01/70 00:00      
               So, what's the "right" way?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  don't use it as a port pin            01/01/70 00:00      
                     It's not a pitty but a shame!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        it's "creeping feature"-ism            01/01/70 00:00      
                           not a waste            01/01/70 00:00

   lets see...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Yes, but what's REQUIRED?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Some results            01/01/70 00:00      
      with or without the reset chip?            01/01/70 00:00      
         now with the reset chips            01/01/70 00:00      
            and the troubles were BEFORE or AFTER?            01/01/70 00:00
