ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an integrated circuit having a buffer that includes an output driver for receiving data and for transferring the data to an output node to be placed on a bus. The buffer also includes a pull-up control device coupled to the output node. The control device is capable of being switched between a first state that couples the output node to a predetermined logic level and a second state that does not couple the output node to the predetermined logic level. Control logic coupled to the pull-up control device receives first and second logic signals to control the state of the control device. With the second logic signal in a first predetermined level, the first logic signal is capable of switching the control device to the first state when in a first predetermined state and to the second state when in a second predetermined state. The second logic signal when in a second predetermined level overrides the control of the first logic signal to maintain the control device in the second state.
