Output Enable Pin (nOE) for Data Output Control

In summary, the output enable pin, nOE, can be used to disable the data outputs, including OF. When nOE is high, all data outputs are disabled. It is important to note that the data access and bus relinquish times are too slow to enable or disable the outputs during full speed operation. The Hi-Z state of the outputs is meant to be used during long periods of inactivity.
