How to buffer tri-state GPIO pin for higher source/sink current?

Edit: I am not looking for a circuit to drive LEDs. I am looking for a generic solution to buffer a tri-state GPIO. My mention below of the bi-color LEDs is only to explain why I need to maintain tri-...

What is the difference between a tristate buffer and a transmission gate?

Functionally, these two "blocks" seem to do the same thing: send input to output if enabled and present high impedance Z on the output if not. However, this answer seems to suggest a ...

Analog 3-state buffer where the input voltage equals the output voltage and is controlled by a digital control line

I'm looking for a device that can control an analog signal without interference. I need it to be controlled by a digital control line (0v - 5v). The input voltage (0v - 5v) should equal the output ...

3-state buffer mechanism

I read about the 3-state buffer. I do not precisely understand the working mechanism. It allows essentially to obtain a third state, that corresponding to the disconnection of the output from the ...

Understanding how a tristate buffer works (74LS241)

I'm trying to understand how the 74LS241 works. From what I read, if two input are high on a buffer, then the output will be high. For some reason, this isn't working on my circuit. So here is ...

How do I implement a tri-state buffer for a vector in VHDL?

I want to implement a tri-state buffer for a input vector, triggered by an enable vector, where every bit of the enable vector enables the corresponding bit of the input vector. Something like this ...

Interfacing tri-state logic across 3v3/5v. Do buffers mirror all three logic states?

(This is just learning/hobby stuff...) I have a 5v (tri-state TTL, ZX Spectrum) bus and I want to interface some non-5v tolerant 3v3 chips to it. I think I need buffers or transceivers for the level ...
