Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing tristate signaling are described. The systems include an integrated circuit that further includes a tristate system. The tristate system converts an encapsulated unidirectional signal into a tristate signal. A relation between multiple unidirectional signals and the tristate signal is established by encapsulating the unidirectional signals to represent the tristate signal. The establishment of the relation facilitates control of the tristate signal by controlling the encapsulated unidirectional signals.
