Abstract

Abstract An integrated circuit data processor arrangement is provided having a data processor architecture that can be implemented entirely of integrated circuits. The combination of an integrated circuit read only memory and an integrated circuit alterable memory and the ability to process operands stored in the alterable memory under control of instructions stored in the read only memory facilitates a fully integrated circuit data processor. Other data processor features that facilitate the fully integrated circuit architecture include integrated circuit paging logic and a storing arrangement for storing information in the main memory. Systems applications of the integrated circuit computer includes control of machines, control of photo-optical devices, and interaction with an operator.
