Hi!
I'm playing with A10Lime. What resistor should be applied if a pin is used as input? I could not find anything about current sink.( I am inexperienced in electronics:( )
Thanks
You don't have to worry about sinking on an input as they are generally very low current, in the uA range.
The resistor value will depend on how fast the input is changing but a 4K7 to 10K resistor as pullup or pulldown will work fine for "slowish" inputs.
Devices like the A10 and A20 have built in resistors that you can enabled via software. You might find that the value is suitable for your application and this removes the need and cost of an external resistor. :)
So, can I power the input pin with 3.3V without a resistor?
Basically yes.
When you say 3.3V, I assume you mean a device with 3.3V output or do you mean to connect the 3.3V power rail to the input. Either way, it will work.
Thank you!
