Abstract
The selector receives group identification signals which specify any number of divisions for elements to be grouped and address signals that specify one of the divided groups. The groups are then obtained based on the number of divisions specified with the group identification signals. The selector further selects selector-output terminals within a group, of the groups, that is specified with the address signals. The effective selector-output signals are then output from the selected selector-output terminals.
Claims6
A selector comprising:
- a plurality of address terminals;
- a plurality of selector-output terminals;
- and
- a plurality of group identification terminals which receive group identification signals that contain information about a number of divisions into which said selector-output terminals are to be divided into groups,
- wherein, of the groups divided based on the number of divisions specified by the group identification signals, the group specified with the address signals is selected based on the group identification signals that are input from said group identification terminals and the address signals that are input from said address terminals, and the selector-output signal that is to be output from thee selector-output terminal within the selected group is made effective.
