Abstract

A three state output circuit which pulls down the output node thereof to a first supply voltage in response to an assert signal, pulls up the output node to a second supply voltage in response to a rescind signal, and then presents a high impedance on the output node immediately after the output node is pulled up to a selected reference voltage.
