Abstract

A decoder element is provided with an output, whereby an output signal with one of three different possible potentials is produced. The output signal may have a value of either a first potential, a second potential, and a third potential, where the second potential lies between the first potential and the third potential. The output signal is produced according to voltage values of input signals at terminal connections of the decoder element.
