Tri-State Buffer

See slides Lesson 3.pdf>page=24

A way to connect different signals to one wire.

If signals were connected directly together, it may result in short. The Tri-State buffer prevents this.

An enable signal can make the output completely disconnected from the input.

Tri-State meaning $\text{HIGH}$, $\text{LOW}$ or $\text{HI-Z}$ (high impedance/disconnected).
