Please clarify your knowledge about open drain and open collector properly in order to understand the concept why POrt0 does not have pull up resistor. After so many answers if have not got the answer. Then I invite you to read the chapter "I/O Configurations" of this standard 8051 hardware description: http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_d...WARE_1.pdf A hint: What do you have, when you turn-off an n-FET without a pull-up and an n-FET with an pull-up? What sees a driving circuit which drives such a port, when -a- there is a pull-up, -b- there's no pull-up (while in both situations the n-FET is turned off)? What looks more like a true CMOS input? Can you imagine now, why the INTEL's guys have provided one of the 4 ports without pull-ups? Kai |
