Abstract
A circuit is disclosed for reducing the number of signal lines passing through a connector (205) comprised of a shift register coupled to a plurality of input data lines and half as many output data lines. When a load signal is received, the shift register latches the data from the input data lines and immediately transmits half of the data to the output data lines and through the connector. When the shift register receives a shift signal, the other half of the data is shifted onto the same output lines and pass through the connector to achieve a two-to-one multiplexing function.
