A pull-up resistor is used to "pull-up" a signal to prevent it from floating or creating an undefined state. Typically a digital input might be looking for a ground or low state to indicate a state. The pull-up resistor is attached to the signal line and to a level which will "pull" the line to a high level in the absense of a low signal. The effect is to provide a reliable hi or lo to an input. The pull up may located close to an input or directly at an output to effect the results. Some eletronic devices have the pull-up devices internally installed.

What is different between the resistor and pullup resistor?

A "pull-up" resistor is a resistor used to to perform a specific electronic function - it is not a different type of resistor. A very small current flows through a pull-up resistor so it does not need to be high wattage (1/8 watt is generally fine). The value of a pull-up resistor depends on the resistance of the sensor. If it is simply on or off (no resistance) then a typical pull-up resistor might be 10k ohms.

Diff between weak and strong pull up resistor?

A strong pullup means using small value resistor for pull up whereas a weak pullup means using high value resistor for pulling the signal to Vcc. A strong pullup reduces the RC time constant. Soumen C


How does a pull down resistor work?

Typically used in logic circuits is the pull-up resistor Less common is the pull-down resistor It's purpose is to force a zero (low) value when no other component is driving the input (no load) By providing a current limited path to negative power source through the resistor, while allowing the voltage to swing high if a load is present.

What is the problem with floating inputs?

The problem with floating inputs is that electrical noise in the line could trigger the input without user input. This can easily be avoided with a pull-up or pull-down resistor.

Why a pull up resistor is so called?

A pull up resistor is often used in an open-collector circuit, where there is a transistor that can pull to down ground, but there is no transistor to pull up to Vcc. When the transistor is off, the pull-up resistor "pulls-up" the voltage to a point where any connected circuit "sees" the voltage and "knows" the transistor is off. This is often used in circuits where many output gates can drive a single line. Any one gate can pull the line low, while all gates have to be off to allow the line to pull high. In the alternate configuration, a totem-pole system, there are two transistors, one to pull low and one to pull high. If you have multiple gates on a common line, you must three state (turn off both transistors) on the non driving gates, or there will be conflict between gates and possible damage.


What is chip resistor array?

A: These particular chips have laser cut resistor to insure resistance consistencies as required by designers. In these cases usually the use is for DAC or ADC . However they can be nothing more then pull up or pull down resistors for easier of packaging and layout,
