Page 52 of the PIC18F26K20 datasheet shows a circuit to add to the MCLR pin.
PIC18F26K20 datasheet
**broken link removed**
We are not using the MCLR pin to reset it, but just for ICSP programming.
The Vdd of the PIC in the circuit is 2V5.
The circuit is going wrong and the boss wants to add a 4k7 resistor and a 10n capacitor to the MCLR pin. (4k7 up to Vdd from MCLR pin and 10n from MCLR pin to ground).
Is adding such a simple RC circuit to the PIC’s MCLR pin a bogus practice?
The MCLR pin is connected to nothing else other than the ICSP connector
