However, in the circuit shown in Figure 2-26 it would be possible to write data to the output lines and then read the data back. This is sometimes done to verify that a short to ground does not exist on any of the I/O lines. Some interface devices, and some microcontrollers, provide the ability to assign discrete I/O pins as either inputs or outputs on an individual basis. In this case the I/O lines would be addressed in the software individually, rather than as a group of 8 bits. 1, and so on, in the software to refer to specific pins (in this case, specific pins, or lines, on port 0).
Voltage divider DC Circuit Characteristics | 29 The math necessary to determine the voltage across R2 in Figure 2-13 is straightforward. Once you know the total resistance, you can find the current, and since the current through both resistors is the same it then becomes a simple matter of applying E = IR to find Vout. AC Circuits As mentioned earlier, current flow that changes direction over time is called alternating current, or AC. AC is a bit more complex than DC. As well as the expected characteristics of voltage and current, it has the additional characteristics of frequency and phase.
How much energy is lost is a function of how much current is flowing through the resistance and the amount of the voltage drop. As we will see very shortly, there is a famous equation that captures this relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. Power is the measure of the amount of energy consumed in overcoming the resistance in a circuit or performing work of some sort (perhaps running a motor), and is a function of voltage and current. The common unit of measure is the watt (W), although one will occasionally see electric power expressed in terms of joules (J).
