To add a bit more to Don's last point, there is a situation that few folks (especially engineers) realize with respect to interconnect drive systems. With todays low-power microcontrollers and digital systems, it is very easy to accidentally power another device from the driving device. In

Roger, That is where the situation gets 'sticky'. It all depends on what the circuits at the end away from the K3 have implemented. You have two pullup resistors on each line and 2 separate voltage sources. 1) If the voltage to the pullup resistors in the internal device do not match the vol

2009-03-07 Thread Corboy-Poteet
I've a question on the pull-up resistor mod for the KIO3 board: is this addition being done to support "legacy devices" or is it the wave-of-the-future (or none of the above)? If current interface "standards" don't require the pull-up capability and the outlook for the future is the same, I th
