Hello,

How is the workingof the propeller chip in an environment noice.

best regards Erik

    Please do not post essentially the same message in several forums. It's against forum rules.

    There are no microprocessors that I know of that have any significant noise protection built into the device.
    The "first line" of noise protection is always provided by external circuitry whether it be power supply or signal
    filtering or shielded leads. Sometimes having a Schmitt trigger input can help, but only when there's some
    amount of external filtering.

    Erik....

    The lower the voltages go... the more noise is going to be an issue. If you have a Prop pin ... unconnected to the outside world... but surrounded by pin activity and input signals you can pick up noise pretty easily... Attach the same pin to an input signal and there doesn't seem to be any noise at all...
    put a sensor on a long unshielded wire... sometimes you will get noise and sometimes you won't. As Mike said... this is common to all microprocessors and as we push speed up and voltages down more attention will have to be paid to exactly what we are feeding our controllers.

    Everyone here enjoys the challenge... So, if you run into a problem, you will get plenty of help.

    Related to this subject,·which is the best way (if any) of using the BOE/RST pins for best noise immunity on the RST pin?

    I usually send the RST signal through an RC filter on the way to the reset pin if there is a risk of interference. That way any glitches on the reset line won't cause an undesired reset.

    Good idea.
    Is there any difference (on the RST sensitivity) between tying BOE to VDD or VSS
