Nov 23, 2016 at 19:26 comment added Whiskeyjack @rev - Yeah that is a much better title that you suggested. Thanks.

changed title
Nov 23, 2016 at 19:15 comment added Rev @Whiskeyjack: You should consider changing the questions title. Maybe "Considerations when using internal pull-up/down resistors" or something like that.
Nov 22, 2016 at 20:29 comment added Whiskeyjack @Passerby - Yeah you are right. Wrong choice of words on my part.
Nov 22, 2016 at 18:23 comment added Passerby If you can't trust the pull up resistor in a microcontroller, you can't trust anything in that controller. What you want to know is if it's useful though

Nov 22, 2016 at 10:18 comment added pjc50 A little note: it may not function as a pullup while the microcontroller is resetting. So if there's external circuitry depending on it being pulled down all the time, you may have a problem at startup. If it's just being read by the micro, this is not a problem.
Nov 22, 2016 at 10:05 comment added Whiskeyjack @Fake - Thanks. Looks like I can use it without any worries. My input is opto-isolated.

Nov 22, 2016 at 9:46 comment added Bimpelrekkie I use the internal pu/pd whenever I can and had no problems sofar. So unless you have a valid reason not to use the build-in pull up/down you can just use them. A reason not to rely on the internal pu/pd could be that the input has a long wire connected to it which might couple to other lines causing unexpected behavior. The internal pu/pd is quite weak (to save current) and is more easily disturbed than for example a 10 kohm resistor.
