Switch - Active Low - Pull up
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 4:03 pm
Hi,
The switch component has the option to set the switch 'active low' i.e. Input is logic 1 when a pulled to ground.
Does this function automatically enable a weak internal pull-up in the PIC or do I need to apply a weak pull-up in my hardware?
And the flip-side of that question...I assume you always need a weak pull-down when using the 'Active high' setting as the PIC does not have any internal pull down option?
Thanks, J.
