A data input-output device for a camera comprises a data input interface having first and second switches for generating input data, first and second flip-flops for latching input data generated by opening and closing the first and second switches, a data converting circuit for converting the input data generated by opening and closing the first and second switches to digital data by a combination of the input data generated by opening and closing the first and second switches and of output data of the first and second flip-flops, a plurality of AND circuits in which the digital data converted by the data converting circuit is inputted, and a data output interface for outputting a plurality of digital data from AND logic obtained by the plurality of AND circuits. The device has the advantages of enabling a reduction in the number of terminals when manufactured as an IC, simplifies the pattern of a printed circuit board due to its simple random logic, and permits the mounting of the elements in high density.
