Device operation

If the model parameter OPEN_C is false, The output will be at logic '0' if either input is at logic '1'. Otherwise, if any input is UNKNOWN, the output will be UNKNOWN. Otherwise the output will be at logic '1'.

If the model parameter OPEN_C is true the device will be open collector. In this case the output logic state is always '0'. The state of the inputs instead determines the strength of the output. If either input is at logic '1' the output strength will be STRONG. Otherwise if any input is UNKNOWN the output strength will be UNDETERMINED. Otherwise the output strength will be HI-IMPEDANCE allowing a pull-up resistor to force it to the logic '1' state.
