#137735 - Logic Probe Concept
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A logic probe would need to be designed with a fairly high impedance input so that it does not "load" the circuit being measured. The high impedance input could be delivered to a couple of voltage comparators on the probe circuit that measure accurately for the input being in the zero to Vil_max (i.e. LOW level) and the other measuring the Vih_min to Vcc range (i.e. HIGH level). Then logically combine the low and high level decodes such that:

THREE_STATE = (NOT LOW) AND (NOT HIGH).
