in a digital system, multiple registers may share access to a data bus using tri state buffers. Explain why tristate buffers are necessary in this context and describe what would happen if two registers attempted to drive the same bus simultaneously
Added by Irene B.
Step 1
A data bus is a set of shared lines used to transfer data between multiple registers or components. Since multiple registers need to send data over the same physical lines, only one register should drive the bus at any given time to avoid conflicts. Show more…

Why are tri-state buffers required to interface digital devices to a bus?
Haricharan G.
Suppose a device wants to gain control of a bus, and the grant line coming into that device is asserted. We know that in some bus arbitration schemes, the bus may be busy when the grant line is asserted, however. For the following, how does the device determine if it is okay to start using the bus? (a) Daisy chain bus with an arbiter. (b) Daisy chain bus with hidden arbitration. (c) Daisy chain bus with decentralized arbitration.

The input status bit in an interface circuit is cleared as soon as the input data register is read. Why is this important?
