text: Since their resistance can be large until they are allowed to heat up due to the passage of current, they are also commonly used to prevent excessive current surges when equipment is powered on.
text: Not every resistor is large enough to be identified by color coding, especially when using Surface Mount Devices, or SMDs.
text: So if the resistance is too large, the voltage drop across the pull-down resistor may result in a gate input voltage beyond the normal LOW voltage range, so to ensure correct switching it is better to have an input voltage of 0.5 volts or less.
text: A 4MΩ resistor might work as a pull-up, but its resistance is so large (or weak) that it may not do its job 100% of the time.
text: The size of a resistor is directly determined by the resistance requirements of the circuit, as the resistor must be large enough to keep from overheating as it performs its duties.
