What best describes a pull-up or pull-down resistor?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. A resistor connected to the positive or negative supply used to establish a voltage when an input or output is an open circuit
A pull-up or pull-down resistor connects a line to the positive or negative supply. It sets a defined logic level when an input or output would otherwise be floating as an open circuit.
Tip: Pull resistor stops floating inputs.
