New page

{{Infobox component
| title = Delayer

The '''Delayer''' is a [[component]] used for [[digital logic]]. It propagates signals from its input to its output, similar to a [[Buffer]], but the signal takes more time to propagate. The signal is ''delayed'', if you will.

Delayers are useful for building [[clock]] circuits.

== Behavior ==

The output of a Delayer will change to reflect the state of the input, as long as the input remains stable at that state for the configured delay length.

{{Truth table
| inputs=Input
| outputs=Output (eventually)
| caption=Fast Buffer Truth Table
| 0 0
| 1 1
}}

{{todo|add more details about the tick-by-tick behavior when the input changes state faster than the delay length}}

== Configurability ==

The length of the delay can be configured by can be [[Edit Component Menu|editing]] the component. The default delay is 10 ticks, the minimum is 2 ticks and the maximum is 30 ticks.

== Placement ==

The Delayer can be placed in the center of a [[Circuit Board]] square or on top of a [[Mount]], and can be fine-rotated.

== Tips ==

* If you need to delay for longer than 30 ticks, you can chain multiple Delayers together.
* If you need to delay for only 1 tick, you can use a [[Buffer]] instead.
