Abstract
A memory for generating data signals responsive to a select signal, a means for generating an increment signal responsive to particular ones of the data signals, a counter for selectively outputting the select signal corresponding to a stored count value, and a means for selectively incrementing the stored count value in the counter responsive to the increment signal. In a preferred embodiment, the data processing system includes means for selectively generating first and second enable signals responsive to particular ones of the data signals and includes, a first counter for selectively generating a select signal corresponding to a stored count value responsive to the first enable signal and a second counter for selectively generating the select signal corresponding to a stored count value responsive to the second enable signal. The data processing system further includes a processing circuit for performing operations responsive to the data signals, input means for selectively outputting signals responsive to input stimuli, and output means for selectively providing an output representation responsive to an output representation signal.
