Availability of TRI-state buffer at SPI data output pin

Thread Summary

The user asked if the SDO output pin (26) of the ADRF6821 and the SEROUT pin (16) of the HMC1122 can be connected together to feed into an SPI controller's data input pin, given the lack of tri-state buffer specifications. The final answer confirmed that neither device has a tri-state mode on their serial output pins, so a buffer or switch is required to avoid output level conflicts.

There is no specification on TRI-state buffer availability at SDO output pin (26) of ADRF6821 device. Same for HMC1122 SEROUT pin (16). The question is can I connect these pins together and feed them to my SPI controller's data input pin ensuring I separate the chip enable signals in time, or is a multiplexer mandatory to avoid output level conflicts? Could find this information from these devices' documentation.
