#110335 - Weak and very weak pull-ups
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Suresh said:
How could i know about the current and voltage being delivered by that weak pullup (pFET2).

The internal active pull-ups are current sources. Their current depends on the potential you force at port pin by an external driver.
The weak pull-up (PMOS-FET3) delivers up to 650µA - 50µA = 600µA in your example. Up to 50µA is delivered by the very weak pull-up (PMOS-FET2).

Also, if i need to bring it low with an external device (a switch), i think i dont need to worry about this transition current and voltage.

Exactly, as Jan already mentioned.
