Hello Members,

I am using STM32F103RBT6 microcontroller. I would like to know which is the best configuration for unused GPIO pins inorder to save power.

Waiting for a reply...

I think, GPIOs are set Output pull down is best way.

if you are concerned with power usage, set them as input

Second that. Floating input.

You surely are joking, gentlemen.

Sure they are, digital floating input can drain some power, analog input may be better, pulldown seems best.

I think u could close the clock signal, which you don't use

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(uint32_t RCC_APB2Periph, FunctionalState NewState)

for ex:

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(GPIOE , DISABLE);
