Question
![**Question:**
How many tri-state buffers would be required to make a bus that has 16 interacting components? (Hint: All components can potentially read from or write to the bus)
**Answer:**
[Your answer goes here]
**Explanation:**
A bus system with multiple components requires tri-state buffers to control data flow. Since each of the 16 components can read from or write to the bus, a tri-state buffer is needed for each component to ensure that data from only one component is on the bus at any time. Thus, 16 tri-state buffers are needed, one for each component, to manage this capability efficiently.
