Attenuator impedance is not the expected value at higher frequency
I have recently made a High Z (1 MΩ) attenuator with R1= R3= 8.75 MΩ, and R2= 243 kΩ. I am using an LCR meter to test the impedance at higher frequencies. At frequencies above 50 kHz, the impedance is ...

How to level shift bidirectionally with a high impedance output state?
I have communications bus I am trying to reverse engineer. It is based on a 9600 bps UART but inverted so it sits at 0V when idle, and pulses at 5V to send a binary 0. Unlike a normal UART the TX ...
