Hello everybody, I'm taking a look at this schematic which represents a controller for a 16x8 RGB LED matrix. I can't understand why there are pull-up resistors at the output of the 74HC138 since this component is not an open collector type. Firstly I thought that they invert the 138 output signal (…

What's the purpose of these pull-up resistors?

Matt:
Thanks for your response, it makes sense to me. Same applies for the pull-down probably resistors upon the IRF7314s drains, do you agree?

Yes.
