I am reading the 80C188XL document and it reads "Pins specified as 'pulled high' or 'pulled low' can be strapped instead. using pull-up or pull-down resistors instead of strapping makes design changes easier and less costly." Does the word "strapping" mean that the pins are connected directly to vcc or vss without resistors, or does it mean that pull-up or pull-down pins are grouped, and connected to vcc or vss with a single resistor?
Thanks
