摘要:
A serial data communication system is disclosed. This system includes a plurality of stations which are interconnected by a single clock wire and a single data wire. A master station in the stations includes a transistor push-pull circuit for driving the clock wire to output a clock signal on the clock wire. The clock signal thus has sharp leading and falling edges. The data wire is coupled to wire logic means. A transmitting station transmits each bit of a data signal on the data wire in synchronism with one of leading and falling edges of the associated clock pulse of the clock signal, and a receiving station receives each bit of the data signal in synchronism with the other of leading and falling edges of the associated clock pulse.

A multiprocessor system includes first and second microcomputers, a address decoding mechanism, and a ready signalling device. The address decoder is coupled to an address bus, to decode address information transferred by the second microcomputer, and supplies a request signal to a request signal input terminal of the first microcomputer. A bus control unit of the first microcomputer responds to the request signal to detect whether an internal bus of the first microcomputer is free from being used by the CPU, and outputs an acknowledge signal to an acknowledge signal output terminal when the internal bus is free. The ready signaling device is coupled to the acknowledge signal output terminal to supply the ready signal to a ready signal input terminal of the second microcomputer in response to the acknowledge signal outputted at the acknowledge signal output terminal and the request signal. The bus control unit of the first microcomputer further responds to a strobe signal transferred to a strobe signal input terminal through a strobe signal line from the second microcomputer to access an address of the internal memory by using the address information transferred to a set of first address terminals through the address bus and performs a data read/write operation on the address of the internal memory through the internal bus.

An interrupt controller comprises a circuit for holding information obtained by designating one priority selected from a plurality of priorities for each of a plurality of interrupt requests, and a flag for indicating whether or not a nesting is allowed for an interrupt request having at least one predetermined priority of the plurality of priorities. On the basis of the priority information held in the circuit and information held in the flag, a controller operates so that when an interrupt request is generated in the course of execution of an interrupt processing having the predetermined priority, if the flag is in a first condition, the controller acknowledges the generated interrupt request only when the priority of the generated interrupt request is higher than the predetermined priority, and if the flag is in a second condition, the controller acknowledges the generated interrupt request not only when the priority of the generated interrupt request is higher than the predetermined priority, but also when the priority of the generated interrupt request is the same as the predetermined priority.
