☑ Pull Up Resistor Principle

The value of the pull up resistor needs to be chosen to satisfy two conditions. For a pull up resistor to only serve this one purpose and not interfere with the circuit otherwise a resistor with an appropriate amount of resistance must be used.

When you pressed the button the gpio will be 0.

Pull up resistor principle. A pull up resistor is connected to the first input of the nand gate and positive voltage. By douglas krantz pull up or pull down resistors are resistors whose job it is to pull and integrated circuits ic input voltage either up to the power supply voltage or down to circuit ground. While the button is not pressed the gpio will register a 1.

Nand gate circuit using pull up resistor. So any current that is there will be pulled up. Of course pull down resistor has the sam.

The not gate representing the mcu in the figures is very basic and author ommited the vcc supply. Now lets look at the opposite. The value of resistor r 3 controls how much current you want to flow from v cc through the button and then to ground.

When you press the button the level can change if wired correclty. They are simple fixed value resistors connected between the voltage supply usually 5v and the appropriate pin which results in defining the input or output voltage in the absence of a driving signal. Pull up or pull down resistor are meant to fix a logic level 0 at gnd or 1 at vcc.

A pull up resistor effectively establishes an additional loop over the critical components ensuring that the voltage is well defined even when the switch is open. In this circuit to give power to the chip it is fed with 5v. When the button is not pressed the input.

A pull up resistor allow controlled current flow from supply voltage source to the digital input pins where the pull down resistors could effectively control current flow from digital pins to the ground. Thus far we have seen that we can use either a pull up resistor or a pull down resistor to control the voltage level of a logic gate. With the switch contacts open the pull up resistor is the only pathway for current.

So 5v is given to the pin 14 and the pin7 is connected to the ground. But we can also use pull up resistors on the output of a gate to allow different gate technologies to be connected for example ttl to cmos or for transmission line driving applications that require higher currents and voltages. Pull up resistors are connected to the nand gate inputs.

The resistor has higher impedence that the button. Its the same thing but in reverse. A simple fake story just to make the principle of pull up resistor clear for all electronics engineers and hobbyist.

While not pressed we have the gpio connected to positive vcc. When the button is pressed the input pin is pulled low. A typical pull up resistor value is 47kw.

Pull up resistors are not a special kind of resistors.
