thanks Richard for the reply. My point is to limit the current surge when the PortB pin drops from 5v to 0v at the button push. My thinking is there is a spike of current that may damage the PortB...
Using weak pullups on port B of 16f1936. A button to ground will cause an interrupt on IOCBN.
Question: should I use a low value resistor in line with this pull down button?
The output is pretty clean in my experience. I use my photodiode in photoconductive mode (reverse bias), which makes it faster and supposedly noisier but I haven't noticed any noise except in some...

OK, I think I was on the right track. In fact I was considering 100Ω...
