New page

{{Infobox component
| title = Fast Buffer
| id = MHG.Buffer
| caption = Fast Buffer
| configurable = 0
| io.minInputs = 2
| io.maxInputs = 2
| io.outputs = 0

}}

The '''Fast Buffer''' is a [[component]] used for [[digital logic]]. It has two inputs, with one higher up than the other. The lower input will be {{on}} if the upper input is {{on}}, but not vice-versa; in this way, the component "buffers" the signal by only allowing it to travel one way.

The Fast Buffer is similar to the [[Buffer]], but:

* It takes up more space
* It uses two inputs, instead of one input and one output
* It updates in zero [[tick|ticks]] instead of one

Buffers are commonly used to [[Optimization|optimize]] circuits for speed. Their unique zero-tick logic allows time to be saved in many circuits.

== Behavior ==

The Fast Buffer's two inputs are linked, with the lower input following the state of the upper input.

{{Truth table
| inputs=Higher Input,Lower Input
| outputs=0
| caption=Fast Buffer Truth Table
| 0 0
| 1 1
}}

The lower input updates it state in the same [[tick]] that the upper input changes state.

Because the lower peg is an input and not an output, if multiple circuits are attached directly to the lower peg, signals can flow between them, unlike with regular [[Buffers]]. If this behavior is undesirable for your circuit, you can add additional Fast Buffers, one for each section of the circuit you want to keep isolated. {{todo|image demonstrating this}}

== Placement ==

Fast Buffers have two attachment points, one for each square covered by the body of the component. These attachment points can be placed in the center of a [[Circuit Board]] square or on top of a [[Mount]].
