The input level to IND is unknown, as is the output on OUTD. | B |
| EN2 | 10 | Short-Circuited to Supply (Side-2) | Control on the input of EN2 is lost since EN2 is shorted to a logic high. Communication from the on channels A, B and C continues normally since the high on EN2 enables the output buffers for OUTA, OUTB, and OUTC. | B |
