PRODUCTION DATA
The 3-state control gate is a two-input AND gate with active-low inputs so that if either output-enable ( OE1 or OE2) input is high, all corresponding outputs are in the high-impedance state. The outputs provide inverted data when they are not in the high-impedance state.
To ensure the high-impedance state during power up or power down, OE should be tied to VCC through a pullup resistor; the minimum value of the resistor is determined by the current-sinking capability of the driver.
