  • Description:
    The digital pulldown resistor is a device that emulates the behavior of an analog resistance value tied to a low voltage level. The pulldown may be used in conjunction with tristate buffers to provide open-collector wired or constructs, or any other logical constructs that rely on a resistive pulldown common to many tristated output devices. The model posts an input load value (in farads) based on the parameter load.

Example SPICE Usage:
