Input
The input pin is a standard input only signal.
The output pin is a Totem Pole Output pin and is a standard
active driver.

Tri-State
The tri-state pin is a bidirectional, input/output pin.
The sustained tri-state pin is an active low tri-state signal owned
and driven by one agent at a time. The agent asserting the STS
pin low must drive it high at least one clock cycle before floating
the pin. A new agent can only assert an STS signal low one
clock cycle after it has been tri-stated by the previous owner.

The open drain pin allows multiple devices to share this signal
as a wired-OR.
