Abstract
In order to permit alternate transfer of different sets of data to a microprocessor over the same input/output lines, a coupling-decoupling circuit includes series-connected diodes and inverters. The input/output lines are coupled to a diode matrix which is scanned line-by-line and determines the transfer of a set of primary data in a first time interval during which the admission of supplementary data from secondary data lines is blocked. In a second time interval, the rows of the diode matrix are all placed in the same logical state while the supplementary data is admitted by the coupling-decoupling circuit to the same input/output lines which received the primary data.
