Q: Why is a pull up resistor needed for an open collector gate?

A pull-up resistor <b>keeps the input high by connecting unused pins to the supply</b>. Some open-collector gates, such as the 74LS06 are capable of driving larger loads because their outputs can be connected to supplies of up to 30 volts.
