Output Drivers
To facilitate higher performance data transfer, the use of balanced CMOS active drivers for critical signals
(Data, HostAck, HostClk, PeriphAck, PeriphClk) are used ECP Mode. Because the use of active drivers
can present compatibility problems in Compatible Mode (the control signals, by tradition, are specified as
open-collector), the drivers are dynamically changed from open-collector to totem-pole. The timing for the
dynamic driver change is specified in then IEEE 1284 Extended Capabilities Port Protocol and ISA
Interface Standard, Rev. 1.14, July 14, 1993, available from Microsoft. The dynamic driver change must
be implemented properly to prevent glitching the outputs.

Note 22.1 The data is held until BUSY goes inactive or for time t3, whichever is longer. This only applies if another
data transfer is pending. If no other data transfer is pending, the data is held indefinitely.
