INTEGRATED SORTING DEVICE FOR DATA WORDS IN THE FORM OF A COMPONENT AND INTEGRATED DATA PROCESSING PROCESSOR PROVIDED WITH SUCH A COINTEGRATED SORTING DEVICE

摘要

P SORTING DEVICE FOR DATA WORDS HAVING THE FORM OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, SUCH DATA WORDS AS ADDRESSES FOR AN INCORPORATED MEMORY. THE DATA WORDS ARE ON A BIDIRECTIONAL BUS 54 TO WHICH, IN ADDITION, ARE CONNECTED TO A CONTROL OR ORDER REGISTER 66 FOR ERASE, SEQUENCE DIRECTION AND ADDRESS REPOSITIONING SIGNALS, A SWITCH 74 AND AN ADDRESS COUNTER 98. THE SWITCH MAY APPLY TO THE BUS, AS STATUS SIGNALS, AN END SIGNAL AND A OVERFLOW SIGNAL. WHEN WRITING, THE DATA WORD ADDRESSES THE MEMORY AND A DIN REPRESENTATION IS STORED THERE. SOMETIMES BEFORE, THE SAME MEMORY LOCATION IS READ AND A POSSIBLE REPRESENTATION ALREADY STORED DOUBLE IS USED TO DETECT IF A CAPACITY OVERFLOW STATE APPEARS. THE ADDRESS COUNTER ADDRESSES, DURING READING, THE SUCCESSIVE MEMORY ADDRESSES WITH ACTIVATION BY AN OSCILLATOR 88. WHEN A FULL MEMORY LOCATION IS REACHED, THE COUNTER STOPS AND A "READY" SIGNAL IS LAUNCHED. WHEN THE MEMORY LOCATION IN QUESTION IS FULLY READED, THE COUNTER CONTINUES COUNTING AGAIN. /P
