Pertaining to an output configuration found in several logic families which is capable of assuming three output states: high, low, and high impedance. This feature is useful for interconnecting large numbers of devices on the same wire while allowing only one to control the levels of the lines at a given time. 1, record 1, English, - tristate
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Three State: a logic system used by some digital devices which have three states instead of the usual two, logical 1 and logical zero. The third state is a high impedance state, in which it is effectively disconnected from the system. 2, record 1, English, - tristate

Sur chacune de ces lignes [omnibus d’adresses], trois états sont en général possibles: État "0", indiquant l’absence du bit d’adresse sur cette ligne; État "1", indiquant que sur cette ligne, le bit est présent; État "haute impédance". Ce troisième état est spécial et permet au microprocesseur, en cas de non-utilisation de ses circuits, de ne pas perturber les lignes omnibus d’adresses. 3, record 1, French, - trois%20%C3%A9tats
