Abstract
A system for transferring the status information between a peripheral controller and central processing unit (CPU) is disclosed. The system utilizes three registers and an interrupt pin for determination of the presence of a STATUS VALID bit. If the STATUS VALID bit is set, then a STATUS OVERFLOW bit is set by the peripheral controller. If the STATUS VALID bit is not set, the peripheral controller updates the status information and sets the STATUS VALID bit. Through the use of this transfer system much of the complexity associated with known systems is eliminated without the concomitant loss in processing speed.
