NRF52832: Has the RESET pin an internal pull down?

[Tobias]

Dear ladies and gentlemen, There is not much information about the RESET pin in the datasheet. I guess, it doesn't have an internal pull-down resistor, but when I look at the eval board, I can't find an external resistor at this pin - or is there a resistor activated in the interface MCU? Thank you! Best regards, Tobias

Hi,

When you configure pin21 as RESET it will be hardware configured to pull-up internally. The reason it is active low is that when the device is turned off the pin will be 0, and when it turns on it will be 1, there is a simple way to know when/if your device is on.

Best regards,
