16 years agoabout EPM240 high impedance output
im now encounter a problem with EPM240 high impedance output,it seems like the io port has connected a low value R to the ground that drop down the voltage provided by other signal on the bus. ...

16 years ago --- Quote Start --- i think i havn't got the right answer --- Quote End --- In my opinion, you didn't manage to tell a clear question. It took three posts to clarify, that you showed expected rather than observed waveforms. It's not necessary, that we understand the purpose of your circuit (which seems hard to get in terms of RS485 communication practice). We can reduce the discussion to a simple point: You're saying, that the high Z pin setting isn't working. You don't need all the RS485 circuitry and dynamic waveforms to check this. A static measurement should be sufficient. The voltage drop at the 3.3k resistor can tell most exactly, if the pin is sinking a current in the suspected case.
