Abstract
A data transmission apparatus including an input-side data transmission path having a first-stage data transmission path, a second-stage data transmission path and a plurality of output-side data transfer paths is provided. When data, which include an identifier for designating the output-side data, transfer path are carried on the input-side transmission path, a comparison/decision logic unit compares the identifier in the data to be transferred and a data destination bit separately supplied thereto. The compared results are supplied to a branch control which produces a select bit for specifying one of the plurality of the outgoing data transfer paths. The incoming data together with a sending signal are passed through the first and second stage input-side data transmission paths toward the plurality of the output-side data transfer paths. The data are then transferred through one particular output-side data transfer path selected by the application of a select bit supplied thereto.
