Pull-up resistor
text:
In electronic logic circuits, a pull-up resistor (PU) or pull-down resistor (PD) is a resistor used to ensure a known state for a signal. It is typically used in combination with components such as switches and transistors, which physically interrupt the connection of subsequent components to ground or to VCC. Without such resistor, closing the switch creates a direct connection to ground or VCC; when the switch is open, a problem arises as the rest of the circuit would be left floating. For a s
