The present invention relates to a microprocessor with reduced pin counts. The microprocessor transmits a higher bit address, a lower bit address and data via a common port so that a pin for transmitting the higher bit address is omitted. In an embodiment of the present invention, a new higher bit address latching signal is added in order to latch the higher bit address so that an original lower bit address latching signal and the higher bit address latching signal can respectively latch the lower bit address and the higher bit address.
