Push–pull output

Okay kiddo, you know how sometimes you have to use two hands to pull a door open? And other times, you push a door to open it? That's kind of like what happens in electronics with something called a push-pull output!

A push-pull output is a special kind of circuit that sends signals out, like music or data. But instead of just sending the signal in one direction, like a one-way street, it uses both directions, like a two-way street!

Imagine a car driving down a two-way street. When it needs to turn left, it stops and turns its wheels left, while the other cars keep going straight. Same thing happens in a push-pull output. It has two parts that take turns sending the signal out. One part sends the signal by "pushing" it with electricity, while the other part "pulls" it back in.

This helps make sure that the signal stays strong and clear, like when two people are playing a game of tug-of-war and pulling in opposite directions to make sure they don't let go of the rope. So the push-pull output is like having two hands on the door, making sure it opens smoothly and easily!
