The {\tt \$tribuf} cell is used to implement tristate logic. Cells of this type have a \B{WIDTH}
parameter and inputs \B{A} and \B{EN} and an output \B{Y}. The \B{A} input and \B{Y} output are
\B{WIDTH} bits wide, and the \B{EN} input is one bit wide. When \B{EN} is 0, the output \B{Y}
is not driven. When \B{EN} is 1, the value from \B{A} input is sent to the \B{Y} output. Therefore,
the {\tt \$tribuf} cell implements the function \lstinline[language=Verilog]; Y = EN ? A : 'bz;.
