<p>Digital words of a pipelined incoming information flow are branched into a number of outgoing information flow branches. The term "pipelined" means that the flow is transferred through memory means whose activation inputs are controlled by clock pulses, the memory means arranged successively with reference to the flow direction being coincidently activated to receive successive words of the flow. A digital branching information flow for ordering into which of the outgoing branches the incoming words have to be branched is generated in step with the incoming flow. The basis for each outgoing branch is obtained from the output of a branching register to which the incoming flow is supplied. The branching registers are activated by the clock pulses, but if an outgoing branch contains only a part of the incoming flow, an activation locking device is used in order to block the clock pulses in dependence on the respective branching information. The branching information flow may be transferred to the locking devices through branching information registers whose activation inputs may also be controlled by locking devices. A branching information register is, however, not to be controlled by the locking device connected to its own output.</p> |
