DEFINITION

Classification: 326/56

TRI-STATE (I.E., HIGH IMPEDANCE AS THIRD STATE):

(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein the logic device produces any of three conditions on one line: (a) a definite high voltage (logic 1); (b) a definite low voltage (logic 0); or (c) a high impedance or open-circuit condition (i.e., a floating state or undefined state) which permits another part of the circuit to determine whether the line will be high or low.
