#142019 - Pull-ups (and Pull-downs)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
P.sathiya Moorthy said:
what is the need of pullup resistor

A Pull-up is needed with an output that can only actively drive a low logic level - the pullup then provides the high level when the output is not driving low.

Open-Collector and Open-Drain outputs require pullups, as does a simple switch to ground.

Update:
The links to the so-called "bible" for the 8051 in the thread cited above are now out-of-date; Philips Semiconductors is now NXP.
The updated links are in the FAQ: http://www.8052.com/faqs.phtml?FAQ=120112
