Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a decoder having an output terminal and five input terminals. The decoder has three operating states including a first operating state for generating a first potential at the output terminal, a second operating state for generating a second potential at the output terminal, and a third operating state for generating a third potential at the output terminal. The second potential lies between the first potential and the third potential.
