Pull Resistors
13 July, 2009
Many of us have been designing electronics for years and haven’t really considered pull up and down resistor values. We just use the same old values like 10K. With some new silicon the leakage currents are higher than we have been used too. This means the pull resistors might not being doing the task we require. When there is a need to reduce power consumption, again these values need to be looked at in greater detail. XJTAG often finds resistors on boards that don’t actually perform the task intended.
