Abstract
A microprocessor system in which a microprocessor with a linear sequencing circuit works with arithmetic logic, program memory, registers, and other support circuitry to provide control lines and bus connections to an external application dependent logic module which has control logic, external registers and external memory and is oriented to handle the specific requirements for data transfers to and from a particular type of peripheral device. Means are provided in said microprocessor for selecting the number of times an instruction word is to be repeated and for the halting of a repeated instruction by internal or external means.
