WIRE buffer

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 So why exactly do we need to use a WIRE buffer? or any kind of buffer? to slow down the signal?  Michael

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

[Altera_Forum]

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.
