What can cause the digital output (voltage level) to be way lower than 3.3V (Note: VCC of the MCU = 3.3V)?

[NElsa.1]

Hello everyone,

I'm using STM32F429 MCU (STM32F429I-DISC1 board). I was generating PWM signals on PA1, PA2,PA3 and PA5 using TIM2 ... The important part is that the PWM signals on PA3 & PA5 are fine where the high digital state is at 3.3V. For PA1 & PA2 , the PWM signals have digital high state at 650mV !? ... I attached a picture to show the PWM (on PA3) and the PWM (on PA1)

I also tried to make PA1 as an output with an open drain and a pull-up resistor ... when I give it high state ... the output voltage of the pin is 0V .... The pin is acting as if there is some kind of a medium pull-down resistance.

Does this mean that these 2 pins are damaged?

(Note: this is not a probe or oscilloscope problem ... I measured the digital high state with a voltmeter as well)

Thanks

Probably those pins are used by something else on the board which is fighting for control of the voltage.

Yep, those are connected to the L3GD20 onboard gyro.
