What's a wire buffer? You mean a "wire" primitive in Verilog?

Yes, the "wire" primitive under the category buffer. Do you know what's the purpose of using WIRE?  Michael:)

The "wire" primive is meant to be a way to connect things.

Put simply, a Verilog wire primite is really the same as a wire in a circuit schematic.

Ie, if I instantiate a module, I need to use wires to connect it's outputs.

I also need to use wires to handle tri-state.

I can also use wires for combinational logic.

There's no delay or whatever associated with a wire.
