Abstract
Abstract A register circuit comprises a plurality of registers commonly receiving a data signal and selection signals respectively, each of the registers including a first input terminal for receiving the data signal; a second input terminal for receiving a corresponding one of the selection signals; an output terminal for outputting a stored data signal; a storing unit, connected to the output terminal, for storing the data signal; and a control unit, connected to the storing unit, the first input terminal, the second input terminal, and the output terminal, for transferring the data signal to the storing unit when the selection signal is effective and resetting the storing unit when the data signal is already stored in the storing unit and the selection signal is not effective.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A register circuit comprising: a plurality of registers commonly receiving a data signal and selection signals respectively, each of said registers including a first input terminal for receiving the data signal, a second input terminal for receiving a corresponding one of the selection signals, an output terminal for outputting a stored data signal, storing means, connected to said output terminal, for storing the data signal, and control means, connected to said storing means, said first input terminal, said second input terminal, and said output terminal, said control means for transferring the data signal to the storing means when the selection signal is effective and for resetting said storing means when the R at a signal is already stored in said storing means and the selection signal is not effective, wherein said control means includes logic means such that when one of the plurality of registers is selected to receive data, the remaining registers of the plurality of registers are simultaneously reset by said commonly received data signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
167 words
A register circuit comprising: a plurality of registers commonly receiving a data signal and selection signals respectively, each of said registers including a first input terminal for receiving the data signal, a second input terminal for receiving a corresponding one of the selection signals, an output terminal for outputting a stored data signal, storing means, connected to said output terminal, for storing the data signal, and control means, connected to said storing means, said first input terminal, said second input terminal, and said output terminal, said control means for transferring the data signal to the storing means when the selection signal is effective and for resetting said storing means when the R at a signal is already stored in said storing means and the selection signal is not effective, wherein said control means includes logic means such that when one of the plurality of registers is selected to receive data, the remaining registers of the plurality of registers are simultaneously reset by said commonly received data signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A register circuit according to claim 1, wherein said control means comprises: a first NAND gate receiving the data signal and the corresponding selection signal, a second NAND gate receiving the stored data signal and an inverted signal of the data signal, and a third NAND gate receiving outputs of the first and second NAND gates and being connected to said storing means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A register circuit according to claim 1, wherein said storing means comprises a flip-flop circuit connected to said control means, and means for initially setting the flip-flop to a predetermined state.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A register circuit according to claim 1, wherein said register circuit receives a plurality of data signals, said registers are divided into a plurality of groups, and each of said groups receives a corresponding one of the data signals.
