In my circuit I need a couple of open drain outputs (for varying the resistance to ground of a certain point by connecting resistors). However the PIC I'm using (12f675) has no open drain outputs, so I was wondering whether it would be possible to simulate this by switching the pin between a high impedance input and a low output? Are there any flaws I've missed in this idea? (yes I could use external FETs, but given the reasons for using an 8-pin PIC, I'm also trying to keep component count down). -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
