Tristate devices must have an enable input.
3 output states: 0, 1, High impedance (Hi-Z, when device is disabled).
Two or more tristate outputs can be connected together.
**If more than one output is enabled at a time, it can lead to bus contention (undefined outcome) and excessive voltage may damage the device.
