Buffer

The buffer is a single-input, single-output digital buffer which produces as output a time-delayed copy of its input. The delays associated with an output rise and those associated with an output fall may be different. The model also posts an input load value (in farads) based on the parameter input_load. The output of this model does NOT, however, respond to the total loading it sees on its output; it will always drive the output strongly with the specified delays.
