Step 1 of 1 9.006E Refer the Sneak paths in a ROM in the Figure 9-6 from the text book. The open collector output without resistor is treated as 1 (HIGH) when output transistor is OFF, though this HIGH state may be changed to 0 (LOW) by any small noise. In the Figure 9-6 direct connection produces low output at bit line with open collector resistor. If there was no resistor, direct connection produces high output at bit line. Thus D2_L and are pulled HIGH and correct outputs are produced. Thus, the sneak path incident happens of direct connection can change the output only in case of open- collector resistor outputs.
