Abstract
A signal-generating circuit receives a program signal and generates an output enable signal, a control signal, and a latch signal. In response to the output enable signal, a programmable read-only memory outputs data onto a data bus. In response to the control signal, a three-state buffer outputs data from a first register to the data bus; the data can then be stored in the programmable read-only memory by input of a chip enable signal. In response to the latch signal, a second register latches data output from the programmable read-only memory onto the data bus. An equality checker compares the contents of the first and second registers and generates an equal signal indicating whether they are equal.
