Abstract
A data output encoder capable of having its state of retaining internal error information and self-diagnostic information reset without recourse to removing power or furnishing a dedicated signal line. A reset pulse generator monitors the changing status of an externally provided output request signal. When the signal status reaches a predetermined pattern, the reset pulse generator generates reset pulses that cause an RS flip-flop circuit to reset the state in which the internal error information and self-diagnostic information are retained.
