When a manufacturer starts putting in "specs" in very small fine print and sprinkles them through out the document they are special. When it is obvious then it's a design spec. For example, with their C2 interface, section 23.2 states that the user cannot change the input of C2D P3.0 while the device is halted and the /RST is only an input. Keep adding "specs" in order to make the MCU work properly is not a good out of the box solution. Then on top of that they claim "Additional resistors may be necessary depending on the specific application." How are you supposed to interpret that? When does one use additional resistors? Special circumstances is what I am claiming, as in the case of having a long wire attached to /RST. When do I put on that additional decoupling cap? What should the cap value be? Why am I consuming board space for component if I do not need it? Let me shoot the board without it and later find out, HEY, I needed that cap. They do not even give you a good idea of how to wire that cap. You have to look at their target board schematic which is different than in the way that I had imagined doing it. They even go so far as to call out the type of cap (X7R and X5R). This is not obvious.
