Propeller /RES pin

Does the /RES pin on the Propeller have an internal pull-up resistor?

    Yes, it is around 5kΩ pullup to Vdd.

    And no, a subtle distinction. The internal 5kΩ is not tied directly to Vdd, rather, it is tied to the output of the brownout detector, so when BOE is tied low (enabled) and a brownout occurs, the 5kΩ at that time becomes a pulldown to Vss. Here is a reference experiment.

    The upshot is that it is unnecessary and generally a bad idea to add an external pullup to the /res pin.

    That explains why I see 3.3v on /RES even though nothing is connected to it. Thanks!
