English term or phrase: current sinking
Je trouve cette expression dans les caractéristiques techniques des circuits d'entrée/sortie d'un module répartiteur de bus. Y a-t-il un terme plus concis que le "avec consommation de courant" du Ernst ?

Je n'ai pas Termium, mais dans mon Dictionnaire Technique et Scientifique de GOURSAU, j'ai trouvé SINK CURRENT = COURANT ABSORBÉ.
