Determine the value of pull-up resistor

[davyzhu]

Hello all,

I found there are several values of pull-up resistor, for example 1k, 3.3k, 4.7k. Is the value of resistor proportional to the VCC? Or it related to other parameters, such as current?

Regards,

DAVY

2 days ago forum had something about I2C bus pull-up resistors.
Your question is very general as in different situations different values are used. For example, pretty common on address busses, multiplexed address/data buses are 10kΩ resistor networks.
As for low speed digital inputs one will use 4k7 -10k. but higs speed digital counters will be fitted with 1k. Generally speaking the higher speed the lower the value..

To some extent, it should be dependent on the current allowed at the output port... it's dangerous if the current sinking into the microP is high
