Abstract
A digital data processor on a single monolithic integrated circuit chip is provided which uses one less pin. The elimination of the pin is accomplished by using, internally to the processor, a valid memory address signal to gate information from the address but to an address output line. Whenever an address is not present on the address bus all logic '1's' are generated on the address output bus.
