An interface transceiver (16) circuit and method for communicating transceiver control and status information between a signal processor (20) and either an audio source (12) or an audio sink (24). During transmission of digital audio data from audio source (12) and signal processor (20), a comparator (49) compares a cyclic redundancy check (CRCC) byte of a block of channel status information to a theoretical CRCC byte generated by a CRC generator (48). By comparing actual and theoretical CRCC bytes, comparator (49) indicates in a single bit whether audio data was transmitted correctly. Remaining bits of the CRCC byte are then used to transfer status information corresponding to transceiver (16). Similarly, during transmission of digital data from signal processor (20) to audio sink (24), a parity bit of a subframe of the digital data is used to transfer programming information from signal processor (20) to audio sink (24).

The key comprises a movable part guided in a fixed support on a base plate and contacts which are closed when the key is depressed against the action of a return spring. The symbol associated with the key is displayed through a window in the key top by an LCD device with a matrix of display areas controlled by an integrated circuit bonded to the underside of the LCD device and fed with signals from the CPU via conductors which enable the integrated circuit to be programmed to define the symbol to be displayed, whereby the keys of a keyboard can be set to match the language currently being used. In an alternative embodiment the key is supported by a flat cable connected with an input circuit of the keyboard and the terminals of the LCD device.

A chip implemented in new technology is designed to include expandable levels of new functionality. The chip includes compatibility circuits which connect to a number of pins which are unused in the chip it replaces in an existing computer system. The compatibility circuits connect to those internal parts of the new chip that contain the newly added or altered levels of functionality. The new chip is installed in the existing computer system just as the prior chip. When so installed, the compatibility circuits enable the new chip to operate in the same manner as the replaced chip but at high speed and with improved performance. When the new chip is installed in the system for which it was designed, the compatibility circuits enable the chip to operate with a selectable level of new functionality at the same higher speed and improved performance.

Arrangement for the input of address data to an integrated circuit (IC) via the same input/output (I/O) terminal pins utilized for the transfer of data is disclosed. The I/O data pins each have an output data latch and an address latch connected to the respective pin and positioned internally of the circuit's interface. A logic level is applied to each of those I/O data pins via a respective external resistor for normally biasing the pin to that logic level. A further I/O pin at the circuit's interface is connected to a common conductor positioned externally of the interface. Diodes are connected between selected ones of the I/O data pins and the common conductor in accordance with a desired address. A level controller responds to a power-on-reset (POR) gating signal to switch the common conductor between a high impedance state and a logic level which effects conduction by the diodes, to enter address data bits. Address latches in the IC store the entered address data bits. The end of the gating signal enters the address bits into their respective latches. Output of data to the I/O data pins is via respective tri-stated transmit devices having their inputs connected to the outputs of respective data latches, and serves to extend that data value or its inverse to a respective I/O pin when enabled upon cessation of the POR signal.

An integrated circuit contains ROM, ROM patch and RAM memories on a common substrate with a standard pinout. The ROM and RAM fill the address space allowed by the address pins. Control of the patch memory without the use of special control pins is accomplished by writing to a ROM address with the standard control pins set for a RAM write. Various control functions are made of a series of standard-cycle read and write operations.
