Input Impedance

03/05/2012 11:41 PM

Hi All,

Can any one tell me what is the input impedance of ATmega64A MCU?

Regards,

Rimpul

What does the data sheet say?

They have not mentioned in the datasheet.

Then it must not be a spec of the MCU, but how what your input is in relation to it. How extensive is your electronics background?

Have you phoned the manufacturer for advice? If not, why not?

The DC input impedance of CMOS logic gates is infinite, so long as the voltage is between the supply rails. They do have a small input capacitance, up to 5pF. But watch out, sometimes devices have internal pullup resistors that can be enabled. Pullup resistors are useful for a variety of purposes, such as detecting closed switches, receiving open-collector opto-isolator signals, or fault outputs from power-driver ICs, for use with wired-OR logic, etc.

The ATmega64A does have internal pullup resistors, although it also has a global pullup disable. The pullup resistor can also be turned on or off individually for each pin. The port-pin schematic above is from page 264 of the datasheet.

Under the topic DC Characteristics, on page 327, the datasheet says the pullup resistor value is from 20 to 50k.
