An item for temporary storage of data which are transmitted from one functional unit to another one. The item is a connecting link between computer parts of different kinds which cannot be directly interconnected due to the differences in data flow rates or in data flow rates or in data format. It is mainly used between external storages, input and output devices, and main storage. The buffer may receive data with one flow rate and, after conversion, may transmit it with a different flow rate. As assembly it may consist of semi-storage or core storage. Excludes Microcircuit.
