The invention relates to a multi-output monolithic device, and particularly to a multi-output monolithic integrated circuit device without generating a simultaneous switch output (SSO) in communication or in a network, in which the plurality of output port will not switch from '0' to '1' or from '1' to '0' simultaneously to prevent insufficient power supply caused by a simultaneous switch, resulting in noise generation and errorous operations. A multi-bit shift register in used in the invention to make each output port have a different and to reduce the probability of the same output value on each output port, thereby reducing the influence of SSO. Then, a slightly different delay is made of each output port during output, so as to eliminate SSO.

Multi-output monolithic device without generating simultaneous switch

A method and system for resolving or preventing bus address conflicts between interface cards of a personal computer involves using a register instead of a switch to allow a user to select an address based on programming. When a conflict occurs between addresses of two interface cards, one of the interface cards may be re-addressed by re-programming the card with no need for manually setting a switch.
