Thanks for your post.
Well, as I wrote in the first post OutS is digital. I am assuming it is 0-5V. (Havent checked the ATtiny datasheet).
Thank you too for your calculation. It makes a lot of sense!.
Since now I am using 3.3V micros I am also interested in see what this circuit would mean in that case but in that case I wouldnt be able to just apply parallelism right? as I said kind of messy.
About the circuit, I dont think it is a circuit I am going to implement but I found this in a schematic using a part I am going to use. The right side is a stepper controller, the SLA 7052M and the pin is the Ref pin. In the datasheet they use a voltage divider and a transistor as switch but here I found an implementation without transistors, just as I posted in the first post and I wanted to understand what does the schematic was trying to achieve.
As for me I am going to use a SLA7084 but the circuit I am planning is way simpler ...
EDIT: I am wondering what the guy who did this schematic was trying to do...
ideally the thing that is suggested in the datasheet is two Voltages in inpS of 0.7V and >2V. In 0.7V the motor runs and in >2V the motor is off...
But with the voltages calculated (0.7 and 0.1) this does not happen...mmmmm strange...
Like Dougy & Ron I assumed we were looking at analog signals. What it the circuit meant to achieve ? I have just checked the data sheet on the ATtiny 4313 and it does not have any analog outputs. Also what is the deveice on the right ? If we assume a logic low is zero volts and a logic high is 5.0 volts and the output resistance of the ATtiny 4313 is zero ohms (A very big assumption).
In case you do not understand Thevenin & Nortons theorems I will do the calculation for the 0 and 5 volt situation without using Thevenims theorem. (Thevenims theorem makes that calculation much simpler if the output of the left hand part was 3.3 volts)
When the the output is low (0 volts) We have a potential divider with 100 ohms in parallel with 750 ohms ( 88.24 ohms.) to 0 volts and a 3.3K to 5 volts so the voltage at the output is (88.24/3388.24) x 5 = 0.1302 volts. When the output is at 5 volts we have a potential divider with a 750 ohm in parallel with a 3.3k (611.1 ohms.) to 5 volts and a 100 ohm to 0 volts so the voltage output is (100/711.1) x 5 = 0.703 volts.
