A '''buffer''', is a basic [[logic gate]] that passes its input, unchanged, to its output. Its behavior is the opposite of a [[NOT gate]]. The main purpose of a buffer is to regenerate the input, usually using a strong high and a strong low. A buffer has one input and one output; its output always equals its input. Buffers are also used to increase the propagation delay of circuits by driving the large capacitive loads.

A buffer is a very basic active device that generates an output identical to its input. In most technologies, a buffer is made of two [[inverter]]s back-to-back. One of the many purposes for a buffer is to regenerate weak output from [[non-restoring logic]].

A buffer, is a basic logic gate that passes its input, unchanged, to its output. Its behavior is the opposite of a NOT gate. The main purpose of a buffer is to regenerate the input, usually using a strong high and a strong low. A buffer has one input and one output; its output always equals its input. Buffers are also used to increase the propagation delay of circuits by driving the large capacitive loads.

Description[edit]

A buffer is a very basic active device that generates an output identical to its input. In most technologies, a buffer is made of two inverters back-to-back. One of the many purposes for a buffer is to regenerate weak output from non-restoring logic.

Implementations[edit]

A buffer can be implemented in variety of of technologies.

CMOS[edit]

A CMOS buffer gate with one input and one output can be realized as simply two inverters back to back - built out of just 4 gates.

The table on the right shows the states of the four transistors with the various inputs of A.

-CD4049 Inverting version of the CD4050.

-HEF40244 NonInverting 8 channel with 2 independently selected (4 channels each) tristate enable lines. This IC also has the advantage of inputs and outputs on opposing sides of the chip pin for pin.


The 7407 is a TTL chip with 14 pins. Two pins are used for VDD and GND, the other 12 pins are used for the 6 independent buffers. The 4050 is a CMOS Hex Buffer with 16 pins. Two pins are used for VDD and GND, 12 pins are used for the 6 independent buffers. Pins 13 and 16 are not connected. Both chips implement the expression QN = AN
