Can i program the MCu GPIO output to '1' or 'Open circuit/Hi-Z/tri state'?

i thought that GPIO is sort of Open drain so how can it be Hi-Z?

Also i still couldn't understand how Hi-z is achived, is it only a FET switch?
 

Are you referring to a specific mcu?

There are mcu with open drain output or push-pull or others have a selection flag to make a pin open drain.

Thanks, it seems you trying to prevent me from asking whatever i see is right...it doesn't importent what is my reason for asking.....you had the choise not to answer and even not continue reading...
i'm autodidact and i try to find leads to info that interests me ...

if wouldn't ask this question here i could continue swimming in the ocean of endless knowlage w/o being refered by you to TTL 'push pull' logic output etc.

Moreover this forum is great!!!
and if i ever have enought knowlage to answer to others i'll defiently do it, although my own knowlage is limited so for now i only asking question in this forum.
