The 8-bit switch is a device that can enable or disable the output, similar to the {{Component|Switch|1-bit switch}}. It has a 1 byte input, 1 byte output, and a bit toggle switch. When the bit toggle switch is 1 or {{On}}, it outputs the input. When the bit toggle is 0 or {{Off}}, the output is disabled. Because the output is fully disabled, this mean you can connect multiple outputs onto the same [[wire]] without causing a [[short circuit]], provided that at most 1 distinct value is output.

TODO: Clarify. with some examples.

Switches (or disabled outputs of any kind) do not help with [[circular dependency|circular dependencies]].
