#186749 - You cannot match the weak internal active pull-up!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
David said:
So you need to match the 'internal pull-up' of P2.

But you can't match it because the weak internal active pull-up is no resistor but a turned-on PMOSFET which lets a weak current flow. This current isn't stable at all, but shows huge variation from chip to chip and an awfull temperature dependency.

The weak internal active pull-up is a "dirty" digital thing that cannot be used for any precise analog circuitry.

By the way, the internal active pull-up stuff is even more complicated due to the action of the very weak internal active pull-up...

Making a pulse with 3 different voltage level!            01/01/70 00:00      
   No best but consider a voltage divider            01/01/70 00:00      
      derivative with a DAC?            01/01/70 00:00      
   derivative with configurable ports            01/01/70 00:00      
   Thanks Per And Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
      which derivative            01/01/70 00:00      
      with an OPamp            01/01/70 00:00      
         Thanks Erik            01/01/70 00:00      
      So, you need to make -15V, 0V and +15V?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Hi Dear Kai            01/01/70 00:00

      I think you can do it wih one resistor.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Most 8051 Systems?????            01/01/70 00:00      
            Well add a pull-up resistor then            01/01/70 00:00      
               Would prefer to not have to match internal resistors            01/01/70 00:00      
               You cannot match the weak internal active pull-up!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Being pedantic.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Hi David            01/01/70 00:00      
   maybe a couple of mosfets ...            01/01/70 00:00
